Persisting component’s items configuration

Component configuration can be handled via file-based configuration file (etc/init.properties) or via admin ad-hoc commands (either via XMPP client or web AdminUI) and persisting it to database. However, file-based configuration wasn’t persisted to repository if that was the only method to configure the server. Version 7.1.4 introduces a way to force persisting items configuration to repository by introducing Persist item configuration administrative command.

It affects following components:

It’s possible to execute this command in two ways:

Important

Next major version of Tigase XMPP Server - 8.0.0 - changes how configuration is handled focusing on ad-hoc configuration of Items therefore it’s essential to persist configuration of repository items (external component connections, vhosts, http-api keys, etc…) before upgrading to version 8.0.0!

Persisting items using web AdminUI

To persist items to repository using web AdminUI you should navigate to http://<machine_hostname>:8080/admin/ url. Afterwards open group Configuration from the menu on the left. In the list of commands you should click on:

  • Persist API keys items configuration to store HTTP-API component’s api-keys
  • Persist item configuration on all remaining components which configuration items should be saved.

After correctly storing items a confirmation screen with Operation successful message should appear.

Persisting items using XMPP Client

XMPP Client supporting service discovery and admin ad-hoc commands should be used. Each client implements user interface related to those functions slightly differently however general idea stays the same - to persist configuration to the database you should:

  • connect to the server using admin account (one which credentials match any of the JIDs listed in --admins= configuration line)
  • open Service Discovery window, which should list all available components

  • to store HTTP-API component’s api-keys you should:

    • find HTTP server integration module component (it should has address http.<VHost>)
    • list available ad-hoc commands (either by double-clicking on it or selecting appropriate option from context menu)
    • select and execute Persist API keys items configuration command

  • to persist data of all remaining components:

    • find appropriate component:

      • VHost Manager (it should has address: vhost-man@<VHost>
      • Configuration management (it should has address: basic-conf@<VHost>
      • External component (it should has address: ext@<VHost>
    • list available ad-hoc commands for particular component (either by double-clicking on it or selecting appropriate option from context menu)
    • select and execute Persist item configuration

After correctly storing items a confirmation screen with Operation successful message should appear.
