Configuration Guide › Managing Identity Manager Environments › Modify Identity Manager Environment Properties

Modify Identity Manager Environment Properties

The Identity Manager Environment Properties screen in the Management Console lets you do the following:

• View the current settings for the environment
• Modify the description, base URL, and protected and public aliases
• Import an existing Identity Manager Environment after an upgrade

  Note: For more information on importing existing Identity Manager Environments, see the upgrade section of the Installation Guide.

• Start and stop the Environment
• Access pages for configuring the following:
  • Advanced Settings

    Configures advanced features, including features built using the Identity Manager APIs.

  • Role and Task Settings

    Import a role definition file that you exported from another Identity Manager Environment.

  • System Manager

    Assigns system manager roles.

To modify environment properties

1. If CA Identity Manager uses a cluster of SiteMinder Policy Servers, stop all but one Policy Server.
2. If you have a cluster of Identity Manager nodes, stop all but one Identity Manager node.
3. Click Environments.

   The Identity Manager Environments screen appears with a list of Identity Manager Environments.

4. Click the name of the Identity Manager Environment to modify.

   The Identity Manager Properties screen appears and displays the following properties:

   • OID

     Defines a unique identifier for the Environment. CA Identity Manager generates this identifier when you create an Identity Manager environment.

     You use the OID when you configure task removal from a task persistence database. See the Installation Guide.

   • Name

     Specifies the unique name of the Identity Manager Environment.

   • Description

     Provides a description of the Identity Manager Environment.

   • Identity Manager Directory

     Specifies the Identity Manager directory with which the Environment is associated.

   • Enable Verbose Log Output

     Controls how much information CA Identity Manager records and displays in the Environment log when you import an Environment. The Environment log is displayed in the status window in the Management Console when you import an Environment or other object definitions from a file.

     Note: Selecting this check box can significantly impact performance.

     The verbose log includes validation and deployment messages for each object (task, screen, role and policy) and its attributes in the Environment.

     To see the verbose log, select this check box and save the Environment properties. When you import roles or other settings from a file, the additional information appears in the log.

   • Provisioning Server

     Specifies the Provisioning directory used as the provisioning user store.

     Click the right arrow button to configure the provisioning directory in the Provisioning Properties page.

   • Version

     Defines the version number of CA Identity Manager.

   • Base URL

     Specifies the portion of the Identity Manager URL that does not include the protected or public alias for the environment.

     CA Identity Manager uses the base URL to form the Redirect URL to point to the Password Services task in the default password policy for the environment.

   • Protected Alias

     Defines the name appended to the base URL for accessing protected tasks in the User Console for an Identity Manager environment.

   • Public Alias

     Defines the name appended to the base URL for accessing public tasks, such as the self-registration and forgotten password tasks.

   • Public User

     Defines the user account that CA Identity Manager uses in place of user-supplied credentials to access public tasks.

   • Job Timeout

     Determines the amount of time that CA Identity Manager waits after a task is submitted before displaying a status message.

     This value is set in the User Console page in Advanced Settings.

   • Status

     Stops or restarts the Identity Manager Environment.

   • Migrate Task Persistence Data from Identity Manager 8.1

     Migrates data from an Identity Manager 8.1 task persistence database to an Identity Manager r12.5 SP3 task persistence database.

     For more information, see the Installation Guide.

   Note: The Migrate Task Persistence Data from Identity Manager 8.1 button is only visible in environments that were created in previous versions of CA Identity Manager and migrated to CA Identity Manager r12.5 SP3.

5. Modify the description, base URL, or protected or public alias, as needed.
6. If you modified any Environment properties, restart the Identity Manager Environment.
7. If you stopped any Policy Servers in Step 1, restart them now.
