OpenIDM provides an extensible configuration to allow you to leverage regular configuration mechanisms.

Unlike native OpenIDM configuration, which OpenIDM interprets automatically and can start new services, OpenIDM stores custom configuration objects and makes them available to your code through the API.

See the chapter on Configuration Options for an introduction to standard configuration objects.
