This occurs when you use a command such as the following:

$ ./ssoadm import-svc-cfg -u amadmin -f pwd.txt -e secretkey -X Config.xml

Recent Changes

Upgraded to, or installed AM 5.x.

Upgraded to, or installed OpenAM 13.5.1.

Causes

Recent changes to resolve OPENAM-10562 (Audit log 'Configuration' entries are not written when using external configuration store) introduced a reliance on Guice to get the Auditor module. ssoadm has not been updated to use this code, which prevents service configurations being imported.

Solution

This issue can be resolved by upgrading to OpenAM 13.5.2, or AM 6 or later; you can download this from BackStage.

Workaround

You can workaround this issue as follows depending on your version:

AM 5.x

You can use the following Amster commands to export and then import your service configuration:

• export-config
• import-config

For example, you would use the following command to export with Amster:

am> export-config --path /path/to/exportedFiles

See Exporting Configuration Data and Importing Configuration Data for a complete list of options. 

OpenAM 13.5.1

You can install and use the ssoadm tool from OpenAM 13.5.0 to import service configurations.
