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.
