Changing configuration settings

You can change a configuration setting. For example, you might change Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) configuration settings for the Verify Identity Access servers.

About this task

The configuration files, stanzas, and stanza entries are described in Configuration file reference.

Procedure

  1. Make a backup copy of the configuration file that you plan to modify. If you encounter an error, use the backup copy to return the configuration file to a known working state.
  2. Stop the Verify Identity Access servers that are affected.
  3. Use one of the following mechanisms to modify the configuration file:
    • Use the pdadmin config commands to modify the configuration file.
    • Use the appropriate configuration tool for your server to change the configuration settings:
      • For the ivmgrd.conf file, use the mgrsslcfg utility.
      • For the pd.conf file, use the bassslcfg utility.
      • For all other configuration files, use the svrsslcfg utility.
    Note: Many stanzas or values are created or modified only by using Verify Identity Access configuration utilities. Some values are completed automatically after the configuration is completed. Do not modify these values.
  4. Start the Verify Identity Access servers that are affected.

Example

For example, if you want to change the ivmgrd.conf file, you must stop the policy servers. Complete the change and restart all the policy servers to put the change into effect.
