Customizing the One Identity Manager default configuration

You can customize large parts of the One Identity Manager default configuration. For example, you can specify your own display names for columns or menu items or define your own templates and formatting rule for column values.

If you customize a default configuration, the change is captured by a trigger and the default configuration is copied into a configuration buffer. You can retrieve changes from the configuration buffer and restore the default configuration in this way.

  • Changes to data are labeled with the icon in front of the modified value. As long as the changes have not been saved, you can restore them by clicking the icon.

  • Changes to the default configuration are labeled with the Designer icon in the . To restore the default configuration, click the icon.

If the default configuration is changed by a service pack, a complete version upgrade or by loading a hotfix package during a One Identity Manager version upgrade, a check is made to see if it has already been customized. In this case, the modified default configuration is copied to the configuration buffer. This ensures that customizations do not go missing.

Reloading changes dynamically

Cached system data can be dynamically reloaded if it has changed. The changes are reloaded automatically in background.

An exception to this are changes that effect the character of the user interface. These changes are only reloaded after requesting confirmation from the user. The user can decide when to accept these changes. In the status bar of the Manager, the icon indicates that the user interface was modified.

The semaphore is incremented when changes are made. The semaphore is calculated when the DBQueue Processor is run.

To configure the reloading of changes

  1. In the Designer, check if the Common | CacheReload configuration parameter is set. Otherwise, set the configuration parameter and compile the database.

  2. Use the Common | CacheReload | Type configuration parameter to specify the method for checking the validity of cached information. Permitted values are:

    • ALWAYS: The validity of the cached information is checked during every access.

    • NEVER: The validity of the cached information is never checked.

    • TIMER: The validity of the cached information is checked on expiry of the interval.

  3. If you use the TIMER method, specify the time in seconds in the Common | CacheReload | Interval configuration parameter after which the values are to be checked when they are accessed.

Which columns are reloaded is defined in the data model. In the Designer, you can find an overview of the semaphore in the category Base data > Advanced > Semaphore.

  • To reload data after changes to a column, the column must be assigned to the semaphore.

  • To reload data after inserting or deleting in a table, the primary column key must be assigned to the semaphore.

Locking and unlocking individual properties for editing

You can prevent individual properties from being overwritten by transports or normal editing using a lock.

For example, you may want to block processing, as follows:

  • Configuration parameters and their values should not be overwritten when a test environment is transported to a productive system.

  • Server configurations should neither be overwritten in the test environment nor the productive system during a transport.

NOTE: To lock properties for editing, users require the Allow setting a change lock for specific properties of individual objects program function (Common_AllowPropertyLocks).

If certain users are allowed to lock properties for editing, you can assign the permissions to the users through permissions groups.

  • The QBM_PropertyLock permissions group is provided for non role-based login. This group owns the program function. Add the system users to the permissions groups. Administrative system users automatically obtain these permissions groups.

  • The QER_4_PropertyLock permissions group is provided for non role-based login. This group owns the program function. The permissions group is linked to the Base roles | Lock single properties application role. Add the employees to the application role.

To unlock and unlock a single property

  1. Open the object in the Designer or the Manager.

  2. Click the property name and select one of the following options from the context menu:

    • Prohibit modification: The property is locked for editing. The input field is locked and grayed-out.

    • Permit modification: The property is unlocked and available for editing.

System configuration reports

In the Designer, different reports about the system configuration and customizations are available. When you select an entry in this category the corresponding report is generated. Generating the report may take some time depending on its size.

To display a report about the system configuration

  • In the Designer, select the Documentation category.
