Configure the Server

This chapter describes how IDM loads and stores its configuration, and how the configuration can be changed.

The configuration is defined in a combination of .properties files, container configuration files, and dynamic configuration objects. Most of the configuration files are stored in your project's conf/ directory. Note that you might see files with a .patch extension in the conf/ and db/repo/conf/ directories. These files specify differences relative to the last released version of IDM and are used by the update mechanism. They do not affect your current configuration.
