To Restore the Embedded Configuration Datastore by Loading XML

Use this option if there is only one OpenSSO Enterprise instance and it is corrupted or, multiple servers are configured to share the same configuration datastore and all instances are corrupted. If multiple instances of OpenSSO Enterprise are configured to share the same configuration datastore, repeat steps 1 through 4 on each instance first and then do step 5 and step 6.

1. Stop all instances of OpenSSO Enterprise.

2. Remove all files and directories from the existing configuration directory.

   $ rm -rf configuration_directory

3. Restart all instances of OpenSSO Enterprise.

4. Reconfigure the OpenSSO Enterprise web application by accessing the OpenSSO Enterprise configurator.

   All configuration attributes must be redefined as they were originally defined. For the configuration of the second and all succeeding OpenSSO Enterprise instances, choose the Add to Existing Deployment option during configuration and point it to the first instance.

5. Import the saved service configuration data to the configuration datastore using the ssoadmin command line utility option import-svc-cfg.

   ./ssoadm import-svc-cfg -u username -f password_file_location -e key_to_enctrypt_password -X backup_xml_file

   In the case of the multiple server configuration, this step only needs to be done once.

6. Restart all OpenSSO Enterprise instances.
