GIM management

Learn how to manage GIM certificates, run GIM diagnostics and server log, and learn about the GIM failover mechanism.

Creating and managing custom GIM certificates
You can replace the default Guardium, privately signed, certificates with trusted CA certificates, without interrupting the GIM server to GIM client communication.
Replacing default GIM certificate with SHA1 or SHA256 certificate
You can replace the default SHA2 GIM certificates with SHA1 or SHA256 without interrupting the GIM server to GIM client communication.
GIM server failover
You can define a backup GIM server. If a GIM client fails to connect to its GIM server after five consecutive attempts, the GIM client automatically connects to the failover server if it is specified.
Running GIM diagnostics
You can run diagnostics on GIM clients to verify that the GIM server has accurate data about each client.
Enable/disable the GIM server log
You can enable the GIM server log to assist with troubleshooting.
