The Airlock IAM Config Editor is integrated in the Adminapp.
To open the Config Editor, log in to the Adminapp and click the Configuration link in the menu (see the screenshot below).
The admin user needs appropriate permissions to see the item Configuration in the menu.

The Config Editor opens in a new tab. It loads the active configuration file of the current Airlock IAM instance on startup.
It is possible to disable the Config Editor, by setting the iam.config-editor.enabled
property in the instance.properties
file to false. In this case, the Config Editor is not started upon startup of the Adminapp, and the Configuration item is not visible in the menu of the Adminapp.
By default, the Config Editor is enabled (iam.config-editor.enabled = true
).
For more information on the instance.properties
file, see Airlock IAM instance configuration.
Config Editor Standalone Mode
It is possible to use the Config Editor in the standalone mode, i.e., to use it as an editor without having to log into the Adminapp.
- To use the standalone Config Editor:
- Set application parameter (
instance.properties
):iam.config-editor.standalone = false
Alternatively, set an environment variable when starting IAM:IAM_CONFIG_EDITOR_STANDALONE=true
- At least the module
adminapp
must be enabled in the instance configuration and the Config Editor must not be disabled:iam.modules = adminapp
iam.config-editor.enabled = true
(this ist the default) - The configuration must contain a valid Adminapp configuration (e.g. the configuration after
iam reset -i <instancename>
) - The Config Editor can now be accessed directly, i.e., without login. Use the URL
https://your-iam-host/auth-admin/editConfig
(replace/auth-admin/
the path of your IAM instance).
