Configuration Files

This section provides information about confiuration files provided when the Administration Server and SSMs are installed. These files are provided in the config directory of the Administration Server, SCM, and SSM instance.

Administration Server Configuration Files

Table 4-1 Admin Configuration Files
Tool	Config File	Explanation
Admin Examples	admin_install.properties	This file is similar to a Java properties file and can be read to determine the parameters specified during the install of the Admin Server.
Admin installer when run in silent mode	silent_install_admin.xml	This file captures the parameters specified during installation of the Admin Server and can be used for silent installs of similar configurations.
annotation_transform.bat\|sh	annotation_config.properties annotation_transform.xml	The annotation_transform tool invokes annotation_transform.xml ant script and gets its configuration from annotation_config.properties. This tool is only needed for annotated policy files created via Eclipse.
policyloader.bat\|sh	asi.properties	Policyloader uses the file to initialize the BLM API for commuunication with the BLM server.
policyIX.bat\|sh	policyIX_config.xml	policyIX_config.xml must be updated before used as input to the policyIX tool.
BLM WebApp	WLESblm.properties	Used to configure the BLM WebApp. The BLM looks for this file based on the setting for the Java option ales.blm.home and also in /config/WLESblm.propeties .
WebService interface to BLM	blm.wsdl pd.wsdl	These files used to compile a Web service client that will be able to talk to the BLM server via SOAP.
install_ales_schema.bat\|sh uninstall_ales_schema.bat\|sh upgrade_ales_schema.bat\|sh databaseloader.bat\|sh	database.properties	Contains the JDBC URL specified during install and is used by persistence layer to connect to the database.
set-env.bat\|sh set-wls-env.bat\|sh (WLS 8.1) WLESWeblogic.conf (WLS 8.1) WLESTomcat.conf	log4j.properties	Referenced in the set-env files used when configuring an WebLogic 8.1 SSM. This file controls the log4j logging for the SSM.
set-wls-env.bat\|sh (WLS 9.2\10.0) WLESWeblogic.conf (WLS 9.2\10.0)	log4j.wls9.properties	Similar to log4j.properties, but specific to a WLS SSM.
set-env.bat\|sh set-wls-env.bat\|sh WLESWeblogic.conf WLESTomcat.conf	WLESarme.properties	Used to configure the ASI Authorization provider.
WLESWebLogic.bat\|sh	WLESWebLogic.conf	Used by the Wrapper tool to start WebLogic server.
WLESTomcat.bat\|sh	WLESTomcat.conf	Used by the Wrapper tool to start the Tomcat server.
propagateInitialCache.bat\|sh	asiadmin.xml	Used by the propagateInitialCache tool. The tool runs only for bootstrap purposes upon install to properly initialize the SCM and Admin SSM. It is automatically run as part of database schema install or via “WLESadmin.bat\|sh init”.
load_adminpolicy.bat\|sh	load.standardbase.conf	Load.standardbase.conf file is used by the load_adminpolicy tool to load the initial Admin policy after a fresh install.
	security.properties	Contains configuration properties for an SSM. By default, the runtime looks for a property file called 'security.properties' in the working directory. Only applicable to SSM running on Tomcat and WLS 8.1.
	SSM.properties	Can be used to determine the location of SCM and Admin install directories.

SCM Configuration Files

Table 4-2 SCM Configuration Files
Tool	Config File	Explanation
	scm_install.properties	Can be read to determine parameters used when the server was installed.
WLESscm.bat\|sh	WLESscm.conf	Used by the Wrapper tool to start the SCM server.
asisignal.bat\|sh WLESscm.conf	log4j.properties	Referenced from the startup scripts of the tools.
WLESscm.conf	kernel.xml	Config file for the Phoenix Java container framework that is used for creating the SCM process.
WLESscm.conf	java.policy	Configures the security policy for the SCM Java process.

SSM Common Configuration Files

Table 4-3 describes which configuration files are used by the SSM instance. Most files are common between various types of SSM instances; those that are specific to an SSM are described in the explanation column. Most files are located in the config directory but when this is not the case the directory is listed.

Table 4-3 Common SSM Config Files
Tool	Config File	Explanation
	SSM_HOME/adm/ssm_install.properties	Can be read to determine parameters selected during SSM install. This file is located in SSM_HOME/adm.
	SSM_HOME/adm/silent_install.xml	Can be used for silent installs with similar configurations. This file located in SSM_HOME/adm.
SSM Examples	adm/ssm_instance.properties	Can be read to determine parameters selected during creation of the SSM instance. This file is located in the INSTANCE_HOME/adm.
SSM instance wizard when run in silent mode	adm/silent_instance.xml	Can later be used for silent installs with similar configurations. This file is located in the INSTANCE_HOME/adm.
annotation_transform.bat\|sh	annotation_config.properties annotation_transform.xml	The annotation_transform tool invokes annotation_transform.xml ant script and gets configuration from annotation_config.properties. This tool is needed only for annotated policy files created via Eclipse. These files are located in the SSM instance’s `config` directory.
policyloader.bat\|sh	asi.properties	Policyloader uses this file to initialize the BLM API for communicating with the BLM server.
policyIX.bat\|sh	policyIX_config.xml	Must be updated before being used as input to policyIX tool.
set-env.bat\|sh enroll.bat\|sh unenroll.bat\|sh WLESarme.properties	log4j.properties	Referenced from the startup scripts of the tools.
set-env.bat\|sh	WLESarme.properties	Used to configure the ASI Authorization provider.
	shortcut.xml	Internal file used on Windows to control the shortcut menu items.
	SSM.properties	Can be used to determine location of SCM and Admin install directories.
