How do I remove access to the browser-based UI in IDM (All versions)?
The purpose of this article is to provide information on removing access to the Admin and/or End User (previously Self-Service) UIs in IDM. You may want to do this for security reasons.
Removing access to the browser-based UI
You can remove access to the Admin and/or End User UIs using one of the following options:
- Disable the UI
- Remove the ui directory
Disable the UI
You can disable the UIs as follows:
- Admin: edit the ui.context-admin.json file (located in the /path/to/idm/conf directory) and change enabled to false. For example: { "enabled" : false, "urlContextRoot" : "/admin",
-
End User
- IDM 6.5 and later: edit the ui.context-enduser.json file (located in the /path/to/idm/conf directory) and change enabled to false. For example: { "enabled" : false, "urlContextRoot" : "/",
- Pre-IDM 6.5: edit the ui.context-selfservice.json file (located in the /path/to/idm/conf directory) and change enabled to false. For example: { "enabled" : false, "urlContextRoot" : "/",
Remove the ui directory
The ui directory (located in the /path/to/idm directory) contains an admin directory and either an enduser (IDM 6.5 and later) or selfservice (pre-IDM 6.5) directory. You can simply remove one or both of these directories to remove access to the corresponding UI.
