Changing the Configuration From the CMS
Window
The CMS window allows you to view the current configuration of a CMS instance
and make the required changes. Because this is the recommended method for
changing configuration, the chapters that follow focus on explaining how to
change the various configuration parameter values from the CMS window.
NOTE
Changing the Configuration by Editing the
Configuration File
This section explains how to change the CMS configuration by editing the
configuration parameter values in the file

You may find the road map provided in "Road Map to Configuring
Subsystems" on page 354 useful in setting up your CMS instances.
Do not edit the configuration file directly if you are not familiar with
the configuration parameters or if you are not sure that the changes
you intend to make are acceptable by the server. Certificate
Management System will fail to start up if you make incorrect
modifications to the configuration file. Incorrect configuration can
also result in data loss.
Also, before you start editing the configuration file, be sure to read
"Guidelines for Editing the Configuration File" on page 339.
