C.2 Global Configuration Values

Global configuration values (GCVs) allow you to specify settings for the Identity Manager features such as Password Synchronization and driver heartbeat, as well as settings that are specific to the function of an individual driver configuration. Some GCVs are provided with the drivers, but you can also add your own.

IMPORTANT:Password Synchronization settings are GCVs, but it’s best to edit them in the graphical interface provided on the Server Variables page for the driver, instead of the GCV page. The Server Variables page that shows Password Synchronization settings is accessible as a tab like other driver parameters, or by clicking Password Management > Password Synchronization, searching for the driver, and clicking the driver name. The page contains online help for each Password Synchronization setting.

In iManager:

  1. Click Identity Manager > Identity Manager Overview, then click Search to search for the driver set that is associated with the driver.

  2. Browse to the driver, then click the upper right corner of the driver icon.

  3. Click Edit Properties > Global Config Values.

In Designer:

  1. Open a project in the Modeler, then right-click the driver line and select Properties > Global Configuration Values.

For Password Configuration, you should only edit the first two settings listed here. The others are GCVs regarding Password Synchronization that are common to all drivers. They should be edited using iManager in Passwords > Password Synchronization, not here. Some of them have dependencies on each other that are represented only in the iManager interface. They are explained in Password Synchronization across Connected Systems in the Novell Identity Manager 3.5.1 Administration Guide .

For the Avaya PBX driver, no global configuration values are specified.
