Airlock IAM instance configuration

Some fundamental settings of an instance cannot be configured in the Config Editor. These are referred to as "application parameters". They are configured in the instance properties file or using the environment. It is also worth noting that application parameters are only applied on start-up and changing those values requires Airlock IAM to be restarted.

The file instance.properties can be found in the instance directory (e.g. <configuration-dir>/instances/auth/instance.properties).

Most importantly, these parameters can be configured:

• Log directory and level (see Logging configuration)
• Activated modules (see IAM modules and databases/directories)
• Web server ports, URL paths, and TLS settings (see Securing Airlock IAM with HTTPS)
• Environment-ID (see Configuration environments)

It is possible to enable UI customizations using the iam.*.layout.dirs properties. This is intended for layout customizations only, but it does not prevent overriding other product-specific files (i.e. web.xml).

Customers that use this mechanism for customization beyond the intended purpose are responsible to maintain these customized files, especially when updating the product. There is no guarantee that such customizations will be supported in future releases.

Please refer to the documentation in the file for detailed information. See also Application parameters.
