Configuration

There are several options for configuring Identity Manager.

Application Configuration​

User Interface​

Netwrix Identity Manager (formerly Usercube) strongly recommends that Identity Manager be configured, as much as possible, via the UI.

XML files​

For advanced users, if the UI is not enough, Identity Manager can also be configured via XML files. These XML files should be placed in a Conf folder directly inside the working directory.

Database​

Identity Manager's application configuration, whether it is made from the UI or the XML files, is stored in a database which should never be modified manually.

Network Configuration​

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