Customizing the access card selection limit in the Request Access wizard

Edit online

The second step in the Request Access wizard is used to select the accesses that are being requested for a user. There is a limit to the number of accesses that can be requested at one time. You can change this limit to meet your needs.

Before you begin

You must have read or write access to the customizable files and the directories where they are maintained. See Location of Identity Manager Service Center customizable files and Customizing Identity Manager Service Center files (Software stack ) for specific details about where these files are located. Contact your system administrator if you do not have the necessary permissions.

About this task

The Select accesses page of the Request Access wizard is used to select the accesses that are being requested for a user. By default, the number of accesses that can be selected on the Select accesses page is limited to 25. But you can change this limit to meet your needs by modifying the config/UIconfig.properties file.

Procedure

  1. Make a custom copy of the config/UIconfig.properties file.
  2. In a text editor, open the UIconfig.properties file and locate the access.selection.maximum.number property.
  3. From the top level of the Appliance Dashboard, click Configure > Advanced Configuration > Custom File Management.
  4. Select UIconfig.properties and then click Download.
  5. Change the value to the expected access limit for your organization.
    For example, 20.
  6. Click Save Configuration.

Results

The Select accesses page of the Request Access wizard restricts the number of accesses that the user can select to the specified limit in the config/UIconfig.properties file.

What to do next

You can verify the change immediately in a single-server WebSphere® Application Server environment. In a managed-cluster environment, you must wait until after the configuration is synchronized to the application servers in the cluster. For information about synchronizing the WebSphere managed-cluster environments, see the WebSphere Application Server section of the IBM Knowledge Center. Log in to the Identity Manager Service Center. Start the Request Access wizard and confirm that the number of accesses selected is restricted to the specified limit.
