Login into the PhenixID Configuration Manager

Bootstrap configuration

PhenixID server relies on a bootstrap file, boot.json.  It contains initial configuration data used to start the server. File location must be <phenixid server root>/config and may not be changed. Changes to this file should only be done advised by PhenixID support or PhenixID documentation.

Backup / Restore

PhenixID server relies on files and folders created during the installation process. Maintain backup of the installation root directory. A recovery simply means replacing the current files and folders with the data from last backup. Replacing single files or directories should only be done if advised by PhenixID support.

Caution

Restoring data to the database require additional steps. Depending on the set up these steps may vary.
