You can use the tsm settings commands to export (get) and import (set) configuration values.

Important: The server configuration file referenced in this topic includes a copy of the master keystore file used for encrypting configuration secrets. We strongly recommend that you take additional measures to secure the node configuration file, using mechanisms as described in Securing secrets for import and export operations.

The following files are not exported or imported with this command. You must manage these files manually:

• SAML certificate file
• SAML key file
• SAML IdP metadata file
• OpenID.static.file
• Kerberos.keytab file
• LDAP Kerberos keytab file
• LDAP Kerberos conf file
• Mutual SSL certificate file
• Mutual SSL revocation file
• Customization header logo file
• Customization sign-in logo file
• Customization compact logo file
