Okay so, in order to get past some bugs, I am planning on updating Gluu. This means exporting settings and clients and users and groups etc., uninstalling gluu, installing the latest version of Gluu, and importing everything. Zamil suggested this: > For now, I suggest dumping your work in the IdP, including LDAP and restoring the same after updating to the latest build. So, I could use some help in figuring out what commands I should use to export and import this data.

Important points of the process:

  1. I don't want to lose client IDs or secrets. They must not change.
  2. All user data must be retained.
  3. If I have to enter some Gluu settings manually, it's okay although not preferred.

So.. for opendj I assume I export an LDIF of some sort. I'm not sure what to do for oxauth, or how to retain clients or gluu settings.

Thanks for your help

Paul,

>> I'm not sure what to do for oxauth, or how to retain clients or gluu settings.

Most oxTrust and oxAuth configurations are inside LDAP & /opt/tomcat/conf/

If I were in your place I would install new Gluu Server in a separate VM with same hostname. Then:

  • Copy existing Gluu Server's configuration files ( /opt/tomcat/conf/ ) inside new Gluu Server.

  • Dump whole LDAP of old server.

  • Restore that dumped copy in new Gluu Server.

Howto on LDAP restore & backup is available here.

  • Check status of new Gluu Server.
