Location of Identity Manager Service Center customizable files

Edit online

As an administrator, if you want to customize the Identity Manager Service Center, you must know where to find the files that IBM® provides. You must also know where to put the customized versions of those files.

Customizable files are maintained in folders under the WebSphere® Application Server configuration directory. The exact location depends on whether you are using a single server or are using a managed-clustered WebSphere Application Server configuration. Check with your WebSphere Application Server administrator to determine which configuration you are using.
  • For a single-server configuration, the customizable files are under the profile for the application server.
    WAS_HOME/profiles/app-server/config/cells/cell_name/itim/custom/ui
  • For a managed-cluster configuration, the customizable files are under the profile for the deployment manager. The files are pushed to application servers during synchronization.
    WAS_HOME/profiles/dmgr/config/cells/cell_name/itim/custom/ui

The exact location depends on the use of a managed-clustered application server configuration. For a managed-cluster configuration, the customizable files are under the profile for the deployment manager. The files are pushed to application servers during synchronization.

Note: During the installation or maintenance upgrade, the customizable files that are provided by IBM are copied to an original folder under the .../itim/custom/ui folder. These files can be copied or used as a reference during the customization process. The files in the original folder are for reference only and are installed as Read-Only files. These files are only copies of the files that are used at run time. Changes to these files do not affect the Identity Manager Service Center user interface.

See Customizing Identity Manager Service Center files (Software stack ) for information about how to customize these files that IBM provides.

Maintenance upgrades to IBM Verify Identity Governance add or replace files in the original folder so that the files are always the most recent versions.

The customizable files that are provided by IBM are organized into folders.
