Return the Backed-up System to its Original State

Backing up the system configuration requires you to deactivate partnerships and disable SSL. After creating a successful backup of a Federation Manager configuration, undo these changes you made to the original system prior to the backup.

To return the backed-up system to its original state

1. Log on to the Federation Manager UI.
2. Select the Federation tab and click Partnerships.

   The View Federation Partnerships window opens.

3. Select Activate from the Action menu next to each deactivated partnership in the Federation Partnership list. This re-activates all the partnerships.
4. If you disabled SSL, you have to re-enable it, as follows:
   1. Click the Infrastructure tab and select SSL Configuration.

      The SSL Configuration dialog opens.

   2. Click Disable in the Embedded web SSL Configuration group box to change the setting back to Enable.
   3. Click Deactivate in the Administrative UI SSL Configuration group box to change the setting to Activate.
5. If you changed the SSL status (enabled or disabled), restart the Federation Manager services, according to your platform.

     Use the Federation Manager stop and start shortcuts as follows:

     1. Start, All Programs, CA, FederationManager, Stop services
     2. Start, All Programs, CA, FederationManager, Start services
   • Solaris

     a. Open up a command window.

     b. Run the following scripts:

     federation_mgr_home/fedmanager.sh stop

     federation_mgr_home/fedmanager.sh start

     When you run the fedmanager.sh script, it sources the Federation Manager environment script, ca_federation_env.ksh.

     Note: Do not stop and start the services as the root user. You must be a non-root user.
