Configure Privacera Platform system properties

When you download the Privacera Platform package, system properties for each Privacera service are pre-configured and bundled in it. Privacera allows you to append additional system properties that were not pre-configured. To know which Privacera services can be configured, see Privacera Platform system properties files overview.

To configure additional system properties, follow these steps:

  1. Get the custom file name to be configured for the service from Privacera Platform system properties files overview.

  2. Replace $ADD_FILE_NAME with the file name in the following command and run it.

    vi ~/privacera/privacera-manager/config/custom-properties/$ADD_FILE_NAME
    
  3. Add the required system properties.

  4. Update Privacera Manager.

    cd ~/privacera/privacera-manager
    ./privacera-manager.sh update
    
Example

Let's illustrate the steps described above with an example. Suppose you are unable to access Privacera Portal due to a Whitelabel Error Page message. To address this problem, you need to add the following properties:

  • privacera.portal.saml.max.authentication.age.sec

  • privacera.portal.saml.response.skew.sec

  • privacera.portal.saml.force.authn

These properties are not configured in the default system properties of the Portal service and have to be added separately.

To add these properties:

  1. From the table, refer to the Portal service in the Service column and gets its custom file name. In this case, it is portal-custom.properties.

  2. Add the file name in the following command and run it.

    vi ~/privacera/privacera-manager/config/custom-properties/portal-custom.properties
    
  3. Add the following properties with their values.

    privacera.portal.saml.max.authentication.age.sec=31556952 
    privacera.portal.saml.response.skew.sec=600 
    privacera.portal.saml.force.authn=true
    
  4. Run the update.

    cd ~/privacera/privacera-manager
    ./privacera-manager.sh update
