Configure NIM

Configuration

Set the platform-wide controls and reusable building blocks that make NIM secure, consistent, and easier to operate.

Configuration is where you establish platform behavior and build reusable components that support identity workflows across NIM. It complements the Systems, Processing, Output, and Apps areas; use those areas to model data and automate identity outcomes.

Set up the platform

Manage licensing, HTTPS, certificates, notifications, single sign-on, backups, maintenance, and platform preferences.

Open Settings →

Reuse configuration values

Create variables for values that are shared across mappings, filters, jobs, Apps, and other configuration items.

Manage variables →

Find and resolve dependencies

Validate the environment to identify configuration errors and trace dependencies before they interrupt automation.

Validate NIM →

Investigate activity

Use the General log and per-execution Script logs to trace service, connector, and App activity.

Configuration areasDirect link to Configuration areas

Settings
Platform security, communication, backups, service lifecycle, directory access, and connector settings.

Variables
Reusable values, session variables, and queries that keep configuration consistent.

Onboarding
Profiles that connect user lookup, verification forms, action variables, account activation, messages, and session limits.

Password Reset
Profiles that connect the self-service App to account lookup, verification, target-system actions, and reset security settings.

Validation
Dependency checks and configuration errors that need attention before processing can run reliably.

Data panes
Control how table data is displayed, selected, previewed, and exported in NIM Studio.

Logs
Review operational activity and adjust how log messages are highlighted for easier investigation.

Appearance
Switch between light and dark mode for the current NIM Studio experience.

A practical configuration sequenceDirect link to A practical configuration sequence

  1. Complete Settings after installation: license, HTTPS, certificates, notification delivery, and backup strategy.
  2. Add Variables for values reused by multiple workflows instead of repeating them in individual items.
  3. Configure systems and identity workflows, then use Validation whenever you change a dependency or see an error.
  4. Use Logs and Administration & operations to monitor and troubleshoot the running environment.
