Parameter: idmsigningkey

Startup parameters change the behavior of the Service Manager server. You can always set a startup parameter from the server's operating system command prompt.

Parameter

idmsigningkey

Description

This parameter specifies a key that is used to sign Micro Focus Identity Manager (IdM) tokens when SAML SSO is enabled for the Service Manager Server (that is, when the idmssoenabled parameter is set to 1). For more information, see Configure SAML SSO in Service Manager (using standalone IdM).

  • This key must match the idm.encryptedSigningKey parameter value that you configure in the IdM service. For more information, see Install and configure the standalone IdM service.
  • When the Service Manager Server is started, this key is automatically encrypted. When you want to reset this key, remember to remove the asterisk (*) before the parameter name.
