Global Properties

Global Properties are stored in the Provisioning Directory. These properties control the entire enterprise and as such are stored outside of any of your domain-specific data. To view these properties you must have a privilege that grants Read access to the SystemSettings object in the ETA domain. All predefined admin profiles in any domain grant this read access.

To change these properties you must have a privilege that grants Modify access to the SystemSettings object in the domain. The DomainAdministrator and DomainAdministrator-NoWeb admin profiles in any domain grant this modify access.

Updates to global properties in most cases take effect immediately, no restarting of services or programs is necessary. Two specific exceptions are:

• Properties that control Manager behaviors, such as UID controls, and Full Name controls, do not affect property sheets that are already displayed. You may have to close a property sheet and reopen it to have the change take effect for your Manager.
• Logging settings are broadcast to affected Provisioning and CA IdentityMinder Provisioning Connector server services. However, this broadcast currently only goes to one Provisioning Server service per domain. If you have installed a failover or load-balancing configuration with multiple Provisioning Server services for a single domain, you will need to restart all Provisioning and Connector Server services for that domain to ensure that the new logging settings are recognized by all affected components.
