Linux Partitioning and Directory Structure for IDM/IDG v15 with JBoss 8.x

Products

• CA Identity Suite
• CA Identity Manager
• CA Identity Portal

Issue/Introduction

Creating a custom Linux partition scheme and mounting point details for JBoss 8.x and IDM/IDG v15.  Information on IGA mounting points and usage.

Environment

• Operating System: Linux (Red Hat 9, CentOS 9, or compatible)
• Product: CA Identity Manager (IDM) v15, CA Identity Governance (IDG) v15
• Application Server: JBoss 8.x (Wildfly 32)
• Deployment Model: IGA Xpress 1.0

Cause

There is no mandatory partition scheme prescribed for the Linux OS and Identity Suite v15. Specific directory structures and paths are required for the application to function correctly.

Resolution

The following mounting points and directory structures should guide your partition strategy:

Component	Path	Description
Application & Binaries	/opt/brcm	Primary directory for all IGA applications and binary files.
IGA Application Data	/opt/brcm/iga	Required path for IGA Xpress deployment.
Application Logs	/opt/brcm/iga/logs	Centralized storage for service logs (IDM, IDG, Portal, etc.)
System Logs	/var/logs	Standard Linux system log storage.
Temporary Files	/tmp	Used for temporary installation and runtime files.
Configuration Files	/opt/brcm/iga/conf	Location for YAML-based application service configurations

 

Additional Information

• Partition Strategy: If creating separate partitions, ensure /opt/brcm has sufficient disk space for applications and that /opt/brcm/iga/logs is on a volume capable of handling high I/O if debug logging is enabled.
• Permissions: The installer typically creates the igx user; ensure this user has appropriate permissions to the /opt/brcm directory tree.
