General Configuration Parameters

iim.comm.modules

iim_server,iim_mux

The communication modules used. The possible values are iim_server and iim_mux. The default value is iim_server, iim_mux, which means both the server and multiplexor are used. The iim_mux value is useful for multiplexor.

The end-user name with which the server processes run. 

iim.group

The group using which the server processes run. 

iim.jvm.maxmemorysize

The maximum number heap size in MB the JVM running the server is allowed to use. Used to construct the -mx argument of the Java command.

iim.mail.charset

iim.jvm.command

/usr/j2se/bin/java

The location of the Java Runtime Executable (JRE).

iim.identity.basedir

/opt

The default installation directory, also referred to as the base directory, for Sun Java^TM System Access Manager.

iim.identity.jre

The location of the JRE used by the Access Manager to run all its processes.

iim.portal.deployuri

/portal

The URI using which the Portal Server war files are deployed in the Access Manager.

iim.portal.host

imhostname

The host name of the server on which the Portal Server is running. Specify the port number if a non default port number is used. 

iim.portal.protocol

http

The protocol used to access the Portal Server. 

iim.policy.cache.validity

10 

Defines the cache validity interval (in minutes) for a single user’s information. 

The Instant Messaging server saves the last date a single end-user’s information was cached. If the end-user’s information is accessed after the interval determined by this parameter, the server will recache the end user’s information and reset the cache date on the LocalUser object.

iim.policy.modules

iim_ldap

By default, LDAP is used for policy storage. Change the value to identity to indicate that Sun Java System Access Manager should be used for policy storage.

iim.policy.resynctime

720

Defines the cache validity interval (in minutes) for all end-user information. 

The Instant Messaging server clears all cached end-user information on a regular basis in order to eliminate old end-user information. This parameter specifies the frequency at which the cached end-user information is cleared. 

iim.userprops.store

file

By default, user properties are stored in a user properties file if you chose not to use Access Manager for policy when you ran the configure utility. If you chose to use Access Manager for policy, the default is ldap. Change the value to change the location where user properties are stored. If you change this from file to ldap, you need to run imadmin assign_services to add required objectclasses to user entries in the directory.

This parameter is only significant when the service definitions for the Presence and Instant Messaging services have been installed.
