5.5 Backing Up the LDAP Proxy

After you configure and start the LDAP Proxy server, you must back up the following directories:

  • The /etc/opt/novell/ldapproxy/conf directory, which contains the configuration files, private certificate file, and public certificate files.

  • The /var/opt/novell/nici/0 directory, which contains the NICI machine key and local password store.

  • The /etc/opt/novell/nici*.cfg files, which contain the NICI configuration.

    NOTE:You should stop the LDAP Proxy server before backing up the NICI directories. To stop LDAP Proxy, refer to Stopping LDAP Proxy.

You can restore the proxy server by placing the files in the relevant directories.
