To Back Up the Access Manager Configuration in Directory Server

Backing up your Access Manager configuration ensures that if you run into problems later in the deployment, you can revert to this configuration without having to re-install Access Manager.

1. On Directory Server 1, in the slapd-am-config directory, run the db2ldif script.

   # cd /var/opt/mps/serverroot/slapd-am-config/ # ./stop # ./db2ldif -n userroot ldiffile: /var/opt/mps/serverroot/slapd-am-config/ldif/2006_03_14_111537.ldif [14/Mar/2006:11:15:40 -0800] - export userRoot: Processed 112 entries (31%). [14/Mar/2006:11:15:41 -0800] - export userRoot: Processed 224 entries (62%). [14/Mar/2006:11:15:42 -0800] - export userRoot: Processed 338 entries (94%). [14/Mar/2006:11:15:42 -0800] - export userRoot: Processed 360 entries (100%).

2. (Optional) You can create a readme file that describes the contents of the new ldif file.

   # cd /var/opt/mps/serverroot/slapd-am-config/ldif # ls 2006_03_14_111537.ldif Example-Plugin.ldif Example.ldif European.ldif Example-roles.ldif # cat > README 2006_03_14_111537.ldif: backup after post-am install, pre-patch application ^D # ls -l 2006_03_14_111537.ldif Example-Plugin.ldif Example.ldif European.ldif Example-roles.ldif README
