Customizing the context root

You can customize the server settings of the Identity Service Center to reflect your company's needs.

About this task

You must perform customization tasks on a primary node.

You can use this task to change the context root of the Identity Service Center and to set the user session timeout duration.

By default the context root is /itim/ui. When you open the Identity Service Center from the virtual appliance, the URL is displayed as https://hostname:9082/itim/ui. If you want the URL to reflect your company, you can customize this context root. If you designate the context root to be custom, the URL is displayed as https://hostname:9082/custom.

Procedure

  1. From the top level of the Appliance Dashboard, click Configure > Manage Server Settings > Server Configuration.
  2. Replace the default context root /itim with your custom context root.
    For example, /custom.
  3. Optional: Set the session timeout.
    The session timeout specifies the number of minutes that the server preserves the user's session. A value of 0 indicates that the session never times out.
  4. Click Save to apply the changes to the server or click Reset to restore the previous settings.
    The buttons are disabled by default. They become active when you modify any property.

Results

The URL to the user interface reflects the new custom context root. The links to the Identity Service Center help files also reflect the custom context root, https://hostname:9082/custom/uihelp/....
