Modifying an existing custom property in a global security configuration or in a security domain configuration

Custom properties are arbitrary name-value pairs of data, where the name is a property key and the value is a string value that can be used to set internal system configuration properties. Defining a new property enables you to configure settings beyond those that are available in the administrative console. You can modify existing security custom properties in a global security configuration or in a security domain configuration.
