The ldapRegistry.xml and basicRegistry.xml
files need to be regularly backed up in case you lose access to the Copy Services
Manager server, or if the product needs to be uninstalled
and reinstalled later.
About this task
The ldapRegistry.xml file contains information about how Copy Services
Manager connects to an LDAP server. The
basicRegistry.xml file contains encrypted information about the users that are
allowed to access the product. These files are not backed up by any GUI or CLI commands, and are not
replicated with high availability server relationships. You can export the current LDAP and basic
user registries by locating them on the file system and using the operating system copy function to
create a new file to save.
Complete these steps to export the LDAP and basic user
registries:
Procedure
-
Locate the files on your system.
- On Windows systems:
- The LDAP registry is at C:\program
files\IBM\CSM\wlp\servers\csmAuth\registries\ldapregistry.xml.
- The basic user registry is at C:\program
files\IBM\CSM\wlp\servers\csmServer\registries\basicregistry.xml.
- On z/OS systems:
- The LDAP registry is at /opt/IBM/CSM/wlp/servers/csmAuth/registries/ldapregistry.xml..
- The basic user registry is at
/opt/IBM/CSM/wlp/servers/csmServer/registries/basicregistry.xml.
- On UNIX systems:
- The LDAP registry is at
/opt/IBM/CSM/liberty/wlp/servers/csmAuth/registries/ldapregistry.xml.
- The basic user registry is at
/opt/IBM/CSM/liberty/wlp/servers/csmServer/registries/basicregistry.xml.
-
Copy the files into a secure backup location whenever changes are made to the users or LDAP
system.
