Update an Identity Manager Directory

The purpose of updating an Identity Manager directory is the following:

• Adding or changing managed object definitions, including an object’s attributes
• Setting search parameters
• Changing directory properties

Note: Identity Manager does not delete object or attribute definitions.

The directory configuration file can contain only the changes that you want to make. You do not have to include properties or attributes that are already defined.

Note: When you have a cluster of Identity Manager nodes, only one Identity Manager node can be enabled when you make changes in the Management Console. Stop all but one Identity Manager node before you create or modify an Identity Manager directory.

To update an Identity Manager directory in the Management Console

1. Export the current Identity Manager directory settings to an XML file.
2. Modify the XML file to reflect your changes.
3. Click Directories.

   The list of Identity Manager directories appears.

4. Click the name of the directory to update.

   Properties for the Identity Manager directory appear.

5. At the bottom of the properties window, click Update.
6. Type the path and file name of the XML file for updating the Identity Manager directory, or browse for the file. Click Finish.

   Status information is displayed in the Directory Configuration Output field.

7. Click Continue.
