How do I import Service configurations in AM (All versions) using Amster when there are custom modules?

Overview

This article assumes you have working AM and Amster installations, and you have already created a custom authentication module. See The sample custom authentication module for further information on creating custom modules.

Prior to importing service configurations that contain custom authentication modules, you must install and register the custom module as explained in this article.

Import Error

Failing to install and register the custom module first will cause the import to fail with the following error (where custom-authentication-module is the example custom module name):

Importing service configurations that contain custom modules

You can import service configurations that contain custom authentication modules as follows:

1. Copy the custom authentication module jar file to the /path/to/tomcat/webapps/am/WEB-INF/lib directory, for example: $ cp custom-authentication-module-5.5.0.jar /path/to/tomcat/webapps/am/WEB-INF/lib
2. Restart the web application container in which AM runs to complete the registration of the custom module.
3. You can now import your service configurations using the Amster import-config command, for example: am> import-config --path /path/to/config
