Customize the access card selection limit in the Request Access wizard

The second step in the Request Access wizard is used to select the accesses that are being requested for a user.

There is a limit to the number of accesses that can be requested at one time. We can change this limit to meet your needs.

We must have read or write access to the customizable files and the directories where they are maintained. See Location of Identity Service Center customizable files and Customization of Identity Service Center files for details about where these files are located. Contact the system administrator if we do not have the necessary permissions.

Use the following sections to work with the configuration files or the configuration properties from the IBM Security Identity Manager virtual appliance console:

• To go to a custom file and edit, download, upload, or search it, see Manage custom files.

• To go to a property file and edit, upload, or search it see Manage the server properties.

The Select accesses page of the Request Access wizard is used to select the accesses that are being requested for a user. By default, the number of accesses that can be selected on the Select accesses page is limited to 25. But we can change this limit to meet your needs by modifying the UIconfig.properties file.

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

2. From the All Files tab, click directories > ui > config.

3. Select UIconfig.properties and then click Download.

4. Open the UIconfig.properties file and locate the access.selection.maximum.number property.

5. Change the value to the expected access limit for our organization. For example, 20.
6. Upload the UIconfig.properties file

7. Click Save Configuration.

The Select accesses page of the Request Access wizard restricts the number of accesses that the user can select to the specified limit in the ui/config/UIconfig.properties file.

In a managed-cluster environment, we must wait until after the configuration is synchronized to the application servers in the cluster. For information about synchronizing, see Synchronizing a member node with a primary node. Log in to the Identity Service Center. Start the Request Access wizard and confirm that the number of accesses selected is restricted to the specified limit.
