Global configuration values (GCVs) are settings that are similar to driver parameters. Global configuration values can be specified for a Driver Set as well as an individual driver. If a driver does not have a GCV value, the driver inherits the value for that GCV from the Driver Set.
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. You can refer to these values in a policy to help you customize your driver configuration.
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
, searching for the driver, and clicking the driver name. The page contains online help for each Password Synchronization setting.To add, remove, or edit GCVs that are not related to Identity Manager Password Synchronization:
