6.3 Updating the Archive Server Configuration

Archive server authenticates the credentials using eDirectory and PostgreSQL. If you have modified the eDirectory or PostgreSQL credentials, Archive server fails with an authentication error, unless you have updated the modified details in the Archive server.

6.3.1 Updating the Archive Server Configuration with Modified eDirectory Credentials

If you have modified the eDirectory credentials, Archive server must be updated to reflect the changes.

  1. Stop the Archive server

    rcnovell-ark stop

  2. Go to /opt/novell/arkmanager/bin folder and run the script arkReconfig.sh:

    sh arkReconfig.sh --edir-admin=<username>

    where <username> is the same or modified eDirectory admin user.

    You will be prompted to enter the password for the eDirectory admin.

    NOTE:This command changes both the username and password.

  3. To run with modified credentials, you need to start the Archive server:

    rcnovell-ark start

The Archive server is updated with the modified user credentials.

6.3.2 Updating the Archive Server Configuration with Modified PostgreSQL Credentials

If you have modified the PostgreSQL configuration details, Archive server must be updated to reflect the changes.

  1. Stop the Archive server

    rcnovell-ark stop

  2. Go to /opt/novell/arkmanager/bin folder.

    1. If you have modified the PostgreSQL credentials, run the script arkDBReconfig.sh

      sh arkDBReconfig.sh --db-user=<username>

      where <username> is the database user.

      You will be prompted to enter the new password.

      NOTE:This command changes both the username and password.

    2. If you have modified the database port number, run the script ark_change.sh

      sh ark_change.sh --ark-port=<portnumber>

      where <portnumber> is the modified database port number.

  3. To run with new PostgreSQL credentials, you need to start the Archive server:

    rcnovell-ark start

The Archive server is updated with the modified user credentials.
