Restoring a PingAccess configuration backup

If an upgrade fails, restore your PingAccess configuration using an automatically generated backup.

About this task

PingAccess automatically creates a backup .zip file each time an administrative user authenticates to the administrative console. These backups are stored in PA_HOME/data/archive, with a maximum number of backups configurable using the pa.backup.filesToKeep configuration parameter in run.properties.

This operation will replace your current configuration settings.

Steps

  1. Stop PingAccess.

  2. Extract the backup file to PA_HOME.

  3. Restart PingAccess.

    Result:

    Your PingAccess configuration is reverted to the state in the backup archive that was restored.
