Where are SystemConfiguration variables used

[jimmykarnsNW (Jimmy Karns)]

Hello, where within IIQ processing are variables/entries and their respective values within the SystemConfiguration file used?
For example, “passwordExpirationDays” and “passwordResetExpirationDays” what processes reference these. Is there some specific process within LCM that calls upon these to get the defaults set for new users during a joiner process? Or other places that use these as a global default configuration value?
Looking for more information on where these are all mapped to, the effects of them, and potential usages within rules, workflows, or other relevant processing.
Thanks

Hi @jimmykarnsNW ,

you are mentioning settings from the SystemConfiguration object which (OOTB) is solely used by IIQ itself.
The values you mention related directly to the UI area
Global Settings → IdentityIQ Configuration → Passwords.

In other words: this is a setting affecting IIQ itself and not e. g. Lifecycle processes like Joiner, Mover Leaver.
However you would be able to read those settings from the System Configuration and use them in your custom processes.
But you may want to consider using a Custom Object for those kind of settings to keep them separate from (IIQ’s) System Configuration.

Hope that helps.

Best regards,
Daniel

These global configuration variables are utilized within IIQ. The best way to identify their usage is to search through the codebase for references to these variables. Reviewing the workflows or objects referencing these variables will provide a clearer understanding of their functionality.

As mentioned earlier, if you decide to modify them, ensure the changes are isolated and managed separately.

@jimmykarnsNW The values are used in LCM Provisioning and LCM Manage Password workflows. I couldn’t provide a direct reference, but you can explore further for more details.
