Configuration Objects

IDM exposes internal configuration objects in JSON format. Configuration elements can be either single instance or multiple instance for an IDM installation.

Single Instance Configuration Objects

Single instance configuration objects correspond to services that have at most one instance per installation. JSON file views of these configuration objects are named object-name.json.

The following list describes the single instance configuration objects:

The audit configuration specifies how audit events are logged.
The authentication configuration controls REST access.
The cluster configuration defines how an IDM instance can be configured in a cluster.
The endpoint configuration controls any custom REST endpoints.
The info configuration points to script files for the customizable information service.
The managed configuration defines managed objects and their schemas.
The policy configuration defines the policy validation service.
The process-access configuration defines access to configured workflows.
The repo.repo-type configuration such as repo.ds or repo.jdbc configures the IDM repository.
The router configuration specifies filters to apply for specific operations.
The script configuration defines the parameters that are used when compiling, debugging, and running JavaScript and Groovy scripts.
The sync configuration defines the mappings that IDM uses when it synchronizes and reconciles managed objects.
The ui configuration defines the configurable aspects of the default user interfaces.
The workflow configuration defines the configuration of the workflow engine.

IDM stores managed objects in the repository, and exposes them under /openidm/managed. System objects on external resources are exposed under /openidm/system.

Multiple Instance Configuration Objects

Multiple instance configuration objects correspond to services that can have many instances per installation. Multiple instance configuration objects are named objectname/instancename, for example, provisioner.openicf/csvfile.

JSON file views of these configuration objects are named objectname-instancename.json, for example, provisioner.openicf-csvfile.json.

IDM provides the following multiple instance configuration objects:

Multiple schedule configurations can run reconciliations and other tasks on different schedules.
Multiple provisioner.openicf configurations correspond to connected resources.
Multiple servletfilter configurations can be used for different servlet filters such as the Cross Origin and GZip filters.
