Keyfactor Command Service Job Settings

The Service appsettings.json file allows you to view or change the Keyfactor Command Service installation and configuration settings. By default, the Keyfactor Command Service job sets all service jobs to run based on the configuration wizard setting (see Service Tab). The setting for select service jobs can be changed in the appsettings.json file.

To update the appsettings.json file for service configuration:

  1. Navigate to the Service\Configuration folder on your server, located by default at:

    C:\Program Files\Keyfactor\Keyfactor Platform\Service\Configuration

  2. Browse to open the appsettings.json file in a text editor (e.g. Notepad) and adjust the values as needed as per Table 84: Keyfactor Command Services Configuration Settings and Keyfactor Command Service Automated Tasks.
