Configuration file reference
The way you use configuration files controls the operation of the Security Access Manager servers.
Each configuration file contains sections that are called stanzas.
Server configuration files are ASCII text-based and contain
stanza entries. Configuration files are processed only when the servers
start. The following configuration files are currently used by Security Access Manager:
- pd.conf
- The configuration file that is used by the authentication server to configure the IBM Security Access Manager runtime. For details about the stanzas contained in this configuration file, see IBM Security Access Manager runtime configuration file.
- [instance-]ivacld.conf
- The configuration file that is used
to configure an Security Access Manager authorization
server instance.
[instance-]represents the name of the specified authorization server instance. If an authorization server instance name contains an empty string, the configuration file is called ivacld.conf. For details about the stanzas contained in this configuration file, see Authorization server configuration file. - ivmgrd.conf
- The configuration file that is used to configure the Security Access Manager policy server. For details about the stanzas contained in this configuration file, see Policy server configuration file.
- ldap.conf
- The configuration file that is used by the LDAP-based server to configure the LDAP-based user registry. For details about the stanzas that are contained in this configuration file, see LDAP server configuration file.
- aznAPI.conf
- A template configuration file that is used to configure any Security Access Manager resource manager. For details about the stanzas that are contained in this template file, see Resource manager configuration files.
