Enable Identity Service Center as the default user interface

To enable the Identity Service Center as the default user interface, complete the configuration steps. The configuration steps provide the mechanism to hide the view of the self-service user interface. Work with configuration files or the configuration properties from the IBM Security Identity Manager virtual appliance console.

We can manage custom files and manage server properties.

  1. In the ui.properties file, set property ui.defaultui.redirectSelfToISC to true.

  2. Optional: Set the language at these two locations because the languages set in both the Identity Service Center and self-service user interfaces might be different at few occasions.
    • On the Language menu in the Identity Service Center login page
    • In the browser

  3. Optional: To ensure users have access to the same functions in the Identity Service Center that they have in self-service user interface, manually configure the views. Configuring the view is applicable for each view that provides access to self-service function.

  4. Optional: Customize the self-service user interface to hide the headers so that a user does not have both an Identity Service Center header and a self-service interface header. See Self-service user interface customization.

  5. Optional: Enable the forgotten password link on Identity Service Center login page.

    A user must set answers for the security questions in the self-service user interface. If the forgotten password link is enabled, create a custom task for the forgotten password challenge behavior so that a user can update the forgotten password information. See Forgotten password settings.

  6. Optional: To view the status of the requests that are placed through custom tasks that launch the self-service user interface, create a new custom task that points to the relevant view request status.
