Overriding UI application properties

OpenIAM provides the feature to change behavior of some of the UI components. To change this behavior you should override the application properties for UI.

Example

Below property is used to make the Reason for Request as a mandatory field while request submission on self-service.

org.openiam.selfservice.request.reason.required=true

Overriding property for Docker based installation

1. Navigate to OpenIAM home folder (common path is /usr/loca/openiam/openiam-docker/compose).

2. Open docker-compose.yaml file for UI using any editor located in 3.2/ui.

3. Look for line starting with CATALINA_OPTS and add the following line.

-Dorg.openiam.selfservice.request.reason.required=false

4. Save and Exit.
5. Restart UI.

Overriding property for RPM based installation

1. Navigate to system directory inside systemd, commonly it is cd /etc/systemd/system.
2. Find the file named openiam-ui.service.
3. Look for line starting with CATALINA_OPTS and add the following line.

-Dorg.openiam.selfservice.request.reason.required=false

4. Reload daemon by running the following command.

systemctl daemon-reload

5. Restart UI service with the following command.

systemctl restart openiam-ui.service

Overriding property for Kubernetes deployment
