If CORS is enabled, and if Indicium is running on a different domain than the Universal GUI, you need to allow the client to redirect back to the domain where the Universal GUI is located. To whitelist global return URLs in IAM:

Email settings​

Email providers​

main administrator

You can configure a single email provider to send emails from IAM. The email provider is used for notification emails, that contain information on, for example, resetting a password or two-factor authentication, and for other system emails.

To set up an email provider:

menu Settings > Global settings > tab Email provider

  1. To select an email provider type, select the task Switch email provider type switch.
    3-tier IAM in the Universal GUI Select the checkbox Use encryption to enter key values that must be encrypted.
  2. Select an Email provider type, for example Microsoft (Graph).
  3. The checkbox Use managed identity is selected by default. This allows your application to authenticate with the email provider securely, without manually managing credentials. Clear the checkbox if you prefer to use explicit credentials and enter a Tenant, Client and Client secret.
  4. In the group Sender enter a From address and a From name. These values determine the sender information shown in the email.

If you want to revert your changes, execute the task Reset email provider configuration reset. This task will reset the email provider settings to the default.

Encryption of email provider key values​

3-tier IAM in the Universal GUI main administrator

3-TIER ONLY

Encryption is only available in a 3-tier setup, where the Software Factory and IAM are used in the Universal GUI. It is not available for the Software Factory and IAM for the 2-tier Windows or Web GUIs because it requires Indicium support and configuration.

When you are working in a 3-tier environment, we advise you to encrypt the key values of your email providers in the database. The default for your email providers is set in the Software Factory. See Encryption for a branch.

To configure the email provider encryption:

menu Settings > Global settings > tab Email providers

Here you can:

  • set key values Set email provider key values (encrypted) - Set encrypted key values for your email provider.
  • reset key values Reset encrypted key values - Reset the encrypted key values. You may need to add unencrypted key values here afterward to ensure that the email provider keeps working.

System email templates​

Indicium main administrator

A system email is an automated message that is sent by Indicium in response to a trigger. System emails are typically used to send notifications, confirmations, reminders or alerts. For example, when a user's Personal Access Token is about to expire, the system sends out a system email that notifies the user.

For information on how to set up a system email, see System emails.

note

A system email is not the same as a notification email. A system email is automatically sent by Indicium and its trigger cannot be configured, while a notification email can be sent at any time.

Notification email templates​

Indicium main administrator

You can use a notification email to send notifications, confirmations, reminders, or alerts to users. For example, you can send a notification email about upcoming maintenance or to a specific user regarding their account. You can only email users with a registered email address in IAM.

For more information on how to set up a notification email, see Email notifications.

note

A notification email is not the same as a system email. A system email is automatically sent by Indicium and its trigger cannot be configured, while a notification email can be sent at anytime.

Global translations​

main administrator

menu Settings > Global translations

Global translations are used when a user logs into a web application, and the user's identity and application language are not yet known.

See Login language for web applications.

IAM system flows​

main administrator

System flows can be scheduled for your applications, but IAM itself also uses system flows for various supporting processes and maintenance. For more information, see Scheduled system flows for IAM.

Hotfixes​

main administrator

menu Settings > Hotfixes

Shows a list with all hotfixes that are available for download for the current IAM version.
