To Back Up the Access Manager or Federation Manager Schema

Back up the Access Manager or Federation Manager schema (and any corresponding attribute values) that was loaded to Sun Java System Directory Server during installation. Export the data to an LDIF file using the appropriate Directory Server command.

• If backing up Directory Server 6.x, use the dsadm export command. For more information, see the dsadm(1M) man page.

• If backing up Directory Server 5.x, use the db2ldif command. For more information, see the db2ldif(1M) man page.

You will need to know the base suffix of the service management node (also referred to as the information tree) as defined in the amsamplesilent file. For information on the suffix of this node, see Configuring Different Root Suffixes for the Access Manager Information Tree and User Directory Nodes in Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1 Postinstallation Guide.

Because OpenSSO Enterprise does not require the iPlanetAMProviderConfigService and iPlanetAMAuthenticationDomainConfigService, the upgrade process removes these services from the schema. If you do not back up the schema, retrieval of these services is not possible after the upgrade is finished.
