When you install the identity applications, the process creates a permission index for the application server. If you do not specify a location for the index, the installation creates a folder in a temporary directory. For example:
JBoss: /tmp/permindex
Tomcat: /opt/netiq/idm/apps/tomcat/temp/permindex
WebSphere: /tmp/permindex
In a test environment, the location usually does not matter. However, in a production or staging environment, you might not want to place the permission index in a temporary directory.
To specify a location for the index:
Stop the application server.
In a text editor, open the ism-configuration.properties file.
At the end of the file, add the following text:
com.netiq.idm.cis.indexdir = path/permindex
For example:
com.netiq.idm.cis.indexdir = /opt/netiq/idm/apps/permindex
Save and close the file.
Delete the existing permindex folder in the temporary directory.
Start the application server.
