Fixed In Version:		Doc Type:	Bug Fix
Doc Text:	Picketlink IDM did not support system property substitution in the configuration files. The fix implements parameters that allow system property substitution. Substitution is supported for every String element in the Picketlink IDM configuration file. The substitution operates in the same way as JBoss Enterprise Application Platform substitution. Usage examples follow. <itemizedlist> <listitem> <para>${property1} - Substitutes the system property "property1".</para> </listitem> <listitem> <para>${property1:defaultValue} - Substitutes the system property "property1", and passes the "defaultValue" value if the system property is not set.</para> </listitem> <listitem> <para>${property1,property2:defaultValue} - Substitutes the system property "property1", then attempts to set the "property2" system property. If "property1" and "property2" are not set, fallback to "defaultValue".</para> </listitem> </itemizedlist>	Story Points:	---

Description Martin Weiler 2011-07-27 11:17:37 UTC

Help Desk Ticket Reference: https://na7.salesforce.com/500A0000007qDjJ
project_key: JBEPP

It would be nice to be able to externalize some configuration settings from IDM configs, eg:

          <option>
            <name>providerURL</name>
            <value>${ldap.host}</value>
          </option>

which could then be provided as system properties, eg. -Dldap.host=xyz at server start

Comment 8 mposolda 2012-01-27 08:31:13 UTC

Possible think to support could be also default values of system properties, which is supported in JBoss AS or in eXo kernel config files. Something like: <value>${gatein.default.jgroups.stack:udp}</value>

Comment 9 mposolda 2012-02-02 14:39:32 UTC

Fixed in Picketlink IDM trunk and will be available in next version of PLIDM. See https://source.jboss.org/changelog/PicketLink?cs=1365 . Substitution is supported for every String element in Picketlink IDM configuration file. And it's supporting same substitution like in JBoss AS,which means:

<value>${property1}</value> - Substitution with system property "property1"

<value>${property1:defaultValue}</value> - Substitution with system property "property1" and using value "defaultValue" if this system property is not set.

<value>${property1,property2:defaultValue}</value> - Substitution with systemproperty "property1". If not set, then trying system property "property2". If nor "property1" and "property2" are not set, then fallback to "defaultValue".

Comment 10 mposolda 2012-02-02 14:40:55 UTC

Only required action is new release of Picketlink IDM and update dependency in EPP pom.xml .

Release notes text: CAUSE: Picketlink IDM did not support substitution of system properties in it's configuration files.

FIX: New feature added into Picketlink IDM and EPP has been updated to use this version. Now it's possible to use substitution in configuration file of Picketlink IDM. 


Substitution is
supported for every String element in Picketlink IDM configuration file. And
it's supporting same substitution like in JBoss AS,which means:

<value>${property1}</value> - Substitution with system property "property1"

<value>${property1:defaultValue}</value> - Substitution with system property
"property1" and using value "defaultValue" if this system property is not set.

<value>${property1,property2:defaultValue}</value> - Substitution with
systemproperty "property1". If not set, then trying system property
"property2". If nor "property1" and "property2" are not set, then fallback to
"defaultValue".
