31.5 Exporting the Configuration Data

You can download previously exported configuration files. Access Manager saves these exported files on the primary Administration Console system also at the following location:

/var/opt/novell/novlwww/namconfig

You can delete or back up these files if needed. If you delete these files from the disk, the Code Promotion page does not list them any longer.

The exported configuration data includes:

  • Identity Server configuration

    • Cluster configuration

    • Shared Settings

    • Identity Server policies

    • Customization files

    • Risk-based authentication configuration

  • Access Gateway configuration

    • Proxy services and protected resources

    • Access Gateway policies

    • Customization files

      NOTE:You cannot export configuration of an Access Gateway that is not part of any Access Gateway cluster.

Perform the following steps to export the configuration data:

  1. Log in to Administration Console from where you want to export the configuration data.

  2. In Administration Console Dashboard, click <user name> at the top right of the page and then click Code Promotion.

  3. In the Code Promotion page, click Export Configuration.

  4. Based on your requirements, select the configuration to export:

    Identity Server Configuration: Exports all clusters, shared settings, keystores, trust stores, and Identity Server policies. You can also select to export Identity Server customization files, if any.

    Access Gateway Configuration: Exports proxy services, protected resources, and Access Gateway policies. You can also select to export Access Gateway customization files, if any. Code Promotion exports all Identity Server dependent configurations, such as contracts assigned to protected resources, even though you selected only Access Gateway configuration to export.

    If you want to export customization files, select respective devices to export customization files.

    NOTE:

    • If you saved a customization file at a location that is not a default location, ensure that you update the file name, directory name, and path before exporting the file. For more information, see Section 31.4, Configuring Custom File Paths.

    • Code Promotion does not support import or export of only custom files.

  5. Click Next.

  6. (Optional) Specify a password to encrypt the archived configuration data file.

    You require this password to decrypt the ZIP file while importing configuration data into another environment.

  7. Click OK and save on your local system.

NOTE:You can delete the exported configuration data by selecting the required configuration, then clicking Delete.
