IBM Security Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On, Version 8.2.2

Configuring the IMS Server

You configure the IMS Server to communicate with the other components such as enterprise directory server, database server, AccessAgent, and AccessStudio.

The IMS Server configuration properties are stored in an XML file in the WebSphere® Application Server configuration repository ims.xml.

The configuration properties include:
  • Enterprise directory connection parameters.
  • IMS Server database connection and pooling parameters.
  • Messaging connector parameters.
  • Audit logging parameters.
  • IMS Server bridge parameters.
  • One time password (OTP) authentication configuration parameters.
  • IMS Server session inactivity timeout parameters.
  • AccessAdmin display options.

To apply any configuration changes, you must restart the IMS Server application.

Configuration tools

Configure the IMS Server through these tools:

IMS Configuration Wizard

Use this wizard during installation and initial configuration of the IMS Server.

After you deploy the IMS Server application to the WebSphere Application Server, open IMS Configuration Wizard. Install the IMS Server schemas into the designated IMS Server database, and configure the environmental certificate infrastructure settings. This configuration is only done once.
