Backup and security

When installation is complete, a platform manager needs to set up the platform to access the Lequinox console, which is the platform user interface. As a system administrator, it is important that you take steps to back up and secure important data.

Backup

You must back up:

  • All Lequinox platform related databases (see deployment profile datasources folder for details).

  • Archive service content files (see deployment profile components file "archive_service_corporate.properties" (the "archive_content_path" setting)).
    By default, the path to the archive service filestore is set to "<user-home>/archive_service/content_files/", where <user-home> is the user starting the server.

Back up the contents of the archive service filestore folder regularly to keep transactions safe.

  • Files in the path where the Lequinox console stores the secret keys used to secure users' passphrases (the consoleplus_secret_keys_path setting in the console_plus.properties file).

Back up the contents of the folder for the secret keys for users' passphrases regularly to keep transactions safe.

We also recommend that you back up:

  • Your deployment profile files (this way, you will save time during future upgrades).

  • Your config.properties file generated during your installation or upgrade.

  • Your PKCS12 keystore (see deployment profile file "profile.properties" (the "certificateKeyFile" setting)).

Security

Make sure:

  • Your PKCS12 keystore file can only be read by the WildFly user.

  • All deployment profile files can only be read by the user root.

  • The config.properties file can only be read by the WildFly user.

Also, you should follow the recommendations for any middleware required for a Lequinox platform installation or upgrade.
