System configuration keys

Where SailPoint IdentityIQ system configuration lives and the key settings that control platform behaviour.

Quick answer

Where SailPoint IdentityIQ system configuration lives and the key settings that control platform behaviour.

Key takeaways
  • SystemConfiguration + Global Settings drive behaviour
  • Common: identity attributes, LCM, certification, email
  • Back up before editing objects directly
  • Keep environment-specific values in deployment properties

SystemConfiguration

Global behaviour is driven by the SystemConfiguration object plus Global Settings screens. Many switches live as keys you can view and set on the debug pages.

Common areas

Identity attributes, quicklink and LCM settings, certification defaults, and email/notification configuration are frequently adjusted.

Editing safely

Change configuration through the UI where possible; when editing the object directly, export a backup first and change one key at a time.

Environment differences

Keep environment-specific values (URLs, hosts) in the deployment properties, not hard-coded, so promotion stays clean.
