Question:
We're running smconsole on Linux Policy Server, the tool works very slow and we'd like to know
if there's a way to modify configuration ?
Answer:
At first glance, you can stop the Policy Server and edit the
sm.registry manually. But depending what you want to do, you might
also use XPSConfig.
Here a sample to do so for database connection :

You can also use the smldapsetup to connect to a dummy ldap server to
encrypt the password.
