A.2 Global Configuration Values

Global configuration values (GCVs) enable you to specify settings for the Identity Manager features such as password synchronization and driver heartbeat, as well as settings that are specific to the function of an individual driver configuration. Some GCVs are provided with the drivers, but you can also add your own.

IMPORTANT:Password synchronization settings are GCVs, but it’s best to edit them in the graphical interface provided on the Server Variables page for the driver, instead of the GCV page. The Server Variables page that shows Password Synchronization settings is accessible as a tab as with other driver parameters, or by clicking Password Management > Password Synchronization, searching for the driver, and clicking the driver name. The page contains online help for each Password Synchronization setting.
