A.2 Global Configuration Values

Global configuration values (GCVs) are values that can be used by the driver to control functionality. GCVs are defined on the driver or on the driver set. Driver set GCVs can be used by all drivers in the driver set. Driver GCVs can be used only by the driver on which they are defined.

The PeopleSoft driver includes several predefined GCVs. You can also add your own if you discover you need additional ones as you implement policies in the driver.

To access the driver’s GCVs in iManager:

  1. Click to display the Identity Manager Administration page.

  2. Open the driver set that contains the driver whose properties you want to edit.

    1. In the Administration list, click Identity Manager Overview.

    2. If the driver set is not listed on the Driver Sets tab, use the Search In field to search for and display the driver set.

    3. Click the driver set to open the Driver Set Overview page.

  3. Locate the driver icon, click the upper right corner of the driver icon to display the Actions menu, then click Edit Properties.

    or

    To add a GCV to the driver set, click Driver Set, then click Edit Driver Set properties.

To access the driver’s GCVs in Designer:

  1. Open a project in the Modeler.

  2. Right-click the driver icon or line, then select Properties > Global Configuration Values.

    or

    To add a GCV to the driver set, right-clickthe driver set icon , then click Properties > GCVs.

Description

Identity Manager accepts passwords from application

If True, allows passwords to flow from the connected system to Identity Manager.

In Designer, you must click the icon next to an option to edit it. This displays the Password Synchronization Options dialog box, which has a better display of the relationship between the different GCVs.

In iManager, you should edit the Password Management Options on the Server Variables tab rather than under the GCVs. The Server Variables page has a better display of the relationship between the different GCVs.

For more information about how to use the Password Management GCVs, see Configuring Password Flow in the Identity Manager 3.6.1 Password Management Guide.
