Server Settings

A Directory Manager portal is deployed as a web application on a web server (native IIS, remote IIS, or Docker). You can manage the following server-related settings for a portal:

  • Change a portal’s name (i.e., the application name given to the portal).

  • Associate identity stores with a portal.

  • Update support information for the portal, i.e., the contact email address and the portal’s help URL.

  • Specify search-related, group-related, and other advanced settings for a portal.

    note

    Advanced settings are available for a standard Directory Manager portal, but not for a Self-Service Password Reset portal.

You can also view the deployment details for all instances of a portal and do the following:

  • Start or stop an instance.
  • Configure Windows logging and file logging for an instance.
  • Delete an instance.
  • Move a portal instance under a different site in IIS.
note

On changing some of these settings, the portal’s session ends and all connected users are logged out. When accessed again, the portal runs under the new configurations.
