Basic Properties

broker-store

Description
Specifies the Broker Store implementation that should be used to store policy data for the Identity Broker.
Default Value
None
Allowed Values
The DN of any Broker Store.
Multi-Valued
No
Required
No
Admin Action Required
None. Modification requires no further action

combining-algorithm

Description
The policy combining algorithm for the Policy Decision Point.
Default Value
deny-overrides
Allowed Values
deny-overrides - This combining algorithm is intended for those cases where a deny decision should have priority over a permit decision.

permit-overrides - This combining algorithm is intended for those cases where a permit decision should have priority over a deny decision.

deny-unless-permit - This combining algorithm is intended for those cases where a permit decision should have priority over a deny decision, and an "Indeterminate" or "NotApplicable" must never be the result. It is particularly useful at the top level in a policy structure to ensure that a PDP will always return a definite "Permit" or "Deny" result.

permit-unless-deny - This combining algorithm is intended for those cases where a deny decision should have priority over a permit decision, and an "Indeterminate" or "NotApplicable" must never be the result. It is particularly useful at the top level in a policy structure to ensure that a PDP will always return a definite "Permit" or "Deny" result.
Multi-Valued

Required

Admin Action Required
The Identity Broker must be restarted for changes to this setting to take effect. This modification requires that you manually restart the server for the change to take effect

consent-validity-duration

Description
Specifies the default validity duration of a granted consent. Applications may also specify a different validity duration that is specific to consents generated for that application and will override this property.
Default Value
365 d
Allowed Values
A duration. Lower limit is 1 seconds.
Multi-Valued
No
Required
No
Admin Action Required
None. Modification requires no further action


Advanced Properties

broker-store-poll-frequency (Advanced Property)

Description
Length of time between polls determining whether the broker store contents have changed. The Identity Broker polls the broker store at a fixed interval to determine whether the contents have been changed by another Identity Broker instance. If the contents have been changed, then this Identity Broker refreshes its cache of broker store objects. Increasing this value increases the latency between when the broker store has been changed by another Identity Broker instance and the change is reflected in this Identity Broker instance.
Default Value
2 seconds
Allowed Values
A duration. Lower limit is 1 seconds.
Multi-Valued
No
Required
No
Admin Action Required
None. Modification requires no further action
