Move a Server

The following procedure moves a server to the new host new-server.example.com. The steps skip creation of system accounts, startup scripts, and registration as a Windows service:

Stop the server:
```
$ stop-ds
```

Renew the server certificate to account for the new hostname.

Skip this step if the server certificate is a wildcard certificate that is already valid for the new hostname.

The following command renews the server certificate generated with a deployment key:

$ dskeymgr \
 create-tls-key-pair \
 --deploymentKey $DEPLOYMENT_KEY \
 --deploymentKeyPassword password \
 --keyStoreFile /path/to/opendj/config/keystore \
 --keyStorePasswordFile /path/to/opendj/config/keystore.pin \
 --hostname localhost \
 --hostname new-server.example.com \
 --subjectDn CN=DS,O=ForgeRock

Find and replace the old hostname with the new hostname in the server's configuration file config/config.ldif.
The following list includes configuration settings that may specify the server hostname:
- ds-cfg-advertised-listen-address
- ds-cfg-bootstrap-replication-server
- ds-cfg-listen-address
- ds-cfg-server-fqdn
- ds-cfg-source-address
Move all files in the /path/to/opendj directory to the new server.
Start the server:
```
$ start-ds
```
If the server you moved is referenced by others as a replication bootstrap server, update the replication bootstrap server configuration on those servers.
