Configuration

There are several options for configuring Identity Manager.

Application Configuration​

User Interface​

Netwrix Identity Manager (formerly Usercube) strongly recommends configuring Identity Manager as much as possible via the UI.

XML files​

For advanced users, if the UI isn't enough, you can also configure Identity Manager via XML files. Place these XML files in a Conf folder directly inside the working directory.

Database​

Identity Manager stores the application configuration in a database; never modify it manually, whether the configuration comes from the UI or XML files.

Network Configuration​

Identity Manager's server and agents are configured via JSON files, mainly appsettings.json and appsettings.agent.json.
