B.2 Global Configuration Values
Global configuration values (GCVs) allow you to specify settings for the Identity Manager features such as Password Synchronization and driver heartbeat, as well as settings that are specific to the function of an individual driver configuration. Some GCVs are provided with the drivers, but you can also add your own.
IMPORTANT:Password Synchronization settings are GCVs, but it’s best to edit them in the graphical interface provided on the Server Variables page for the driver, instead of the GCV page. The Server Variables page that shows Password Synchronization settings is accessible as a tab like other driver parameters, or by clicking
