To Back Up the Access Manager Configuration Data from Directory Server 1

Backing up your Access Manager configuration data ensures that if you run into problems later, you can revert to this configuration without having to reinstall Access Manager. In this procedure, we will back up the configuration data from Directory Server 1.

1. As a root user, log in to the DirectoryServer–1 host machine.

2. Stop the configuration data instance on Directory Server 1.

   # cd /var/opt/mps/serverroot/ds6/bin # ./dsadm stop /var/opt/mps/am-config Server stopped

   ---

   Note –

   The backup utility db2ldif can only be used if the slapd process has been shutdown.

   ---

3. Change to the am-config directory.

   # cd /var/opt/mps/am-config

4. Run db2ldif from within the am-config directory.

   # ./db2ldif -n dbExample ldiffile: /var/opt/mps/am-config/ldif/2007_06_27_132405.ldif [27/Jun/2007:13:24:06 -0700] - export dbExample: Processed n entries (100%).

5. (Optional) Create a README that describes the contents of the new LDIF file.

   # cd /var/opt/mps/am-config/ldif # ls 2007_06_27_132405.ldif # cat > README Hit ENTER and type the following: 2007_06_27_132405.ldif: backup after post-am install, pre-patch application Hit Control D to terminate the cat command ^D # ls 2007_06_27_132405.ldif README

6. Start the configuration data instance on Directory Server 1.

   # cd /var/opt/mps/serverroot/ds6/bin # ./dsadm start /var/opt/mps/am-config

7. Log out of the DirectoryServer–1 host machine.
