32.8.1 Troubleshooting Identity Server Code Promotion

This section discusses how to troubleshoot any issue occurred during Identity Server Code Promotion.

Exporting Identity Server Configuration Data Fails

When exporting Identity Server configuration data from an Administration console server, the export fails with the message Failed to export keystores and policies. See tomcat log for details.

To workaround this issue, perform the following:

  1. Go to /opt/novell/nam/adminconsole/conf/server.xml

    The server.xml file includes the address parameter within <Connector NIDP_Name="connector">

  2. Perform one of the following options:

    • (Recommended) Add 127.0.0.1 to the address parameter

      This limits the connector to listen on port 8443 for only the mentioned IP addresses.

    • Remove the address parameter

      This allows the Connector to listen on any IP address that is configured in the system, which can be a security issue or a clash with another service listening on port 8443 on another NIC of the same server.

For more information about this issue, see TID 7018876.

Importing Identity Server Configuration Data Fails

To restore your system, go to the Dashboard and click the drop-down menu in the upper right corner > Code Promotion. You will find the backup file that was created as part of import. Download the file and then click Import Configuration on the same page. Re-import this backup configuration to restore to the previous configuration.
