Config file management
The configuration file contains all the settings that customize the operation of the service
controller. You can save and restore the configuration file manually or automatically.
Select Maintenance > Config file management.
Manual configuration file management
The following options are available for manual configuration file management.
Backup configuration
The Backup configuration group box enables you to back up your configuration settings so
that they can be easily restored in case of failure. You can also use this option if you want to
directly edit the configuration file.
Before you install new software, you should always back up your current configuration.
Select Backup to start the process. You are prompted for the location in which to save the
configuration file.
If you specify a Password, the configuration file is protected by encrypting sensitive fields
(example, passwords, secrets, and certificates) with a key based on the password. See also
Restore configuration on page 15-3.
Note Even without a password, the certificates are still encrypted but with a key that is identical
on all devices.
Note The local username and password for the administrative users are not saved to the backup
configuration file. If you upload a configuration file, the current username and password are
not overwritten.
