Manage custom files

View custom files and folders that are related to the IBM Security Identity Manager virtual appliance.

Manage your files from the Custom File Management page in these ways:

• Expand or collapse the directory structure to view the different files and folders, including the recently updated files.
• Download or upload any type of file.

• Create or delete sub-folders under existing folders.
• Restore a selected file to the default state.

The web.xml file is not available in ISIM virtual appliance. Hence, deploying the custom servlet is not supported.

1. From the top-level menu of the Appliance Dashboard, select...
   Configure > Advanced Configuration > Custom File Management

   The right pane has list of files and contains these buttons:

   • Download
   • Upload
   • New Folder
   • Delete Folder
   • Refresh

   We can use the search box to find a specific property name to update. Type a name or a character string for the properties file to narrow your search. Your search is in the context of the properties file that we selected. All property names that contain the string are displayed. To return to the full list of property names, clear the search box.

   folder > file > Download

   To upload a file:

   folder > Upload > Browse > Save Configuration

   Displays all the modified files in a table, including these buttons:

   • Restore Default
   • Refresh
