Data Directories
PKI Services Manager stores application data in the following base directory:
- Windows:
common application data folder\Micro Focus\ReflectionPKI - Unix:
/opt/microfocus/pkid/
This directory includes the following subdirectories:
| Folder | Contents |
|---|---|
| config | Configuration files (pki_config and pki_mapfile) The PKI Services Manager private and public keys |
| local-store | Default location for certificates and CRLs. The service does not add any files to this folder. The PKI Services Manager administrator can add certificates and CRLs to this folder and/or configure the server to search for certificates and CRLs in other locations. |
| logs | Log files |
| cache | Cached certificates and CRLs. (PKI Services Manager doesn't clear these items. If a required, cached item is removed, the server will download it again and restore the item to the cache.) |
| console | Directories and files used by the console. (The console maintains its own cache). The console can restore items to these locations if needed. |
| temp | Temporary storage used by the service. The content of this directory is cleared when the service stops. |
Change the Data Folder
If you are running PKI Services Manager on Windows, you can change the PKI Services Manager data folder.
Note
Changing the data folder forces the service to restart. When you complete this procedure, the console closes and the service restarts automatically.
- From the File menu, select Set Data Folder.
- Select Use custom.
- Use the browse button to select a folder and click OK. The folder must already exist, and must be on the computer running PKI Services Manager; network locations are not supported.
- PKI Services Manager checks for an existing pki_config file in the new location. If an existing configuration file is present, PKI Services Manager makes no change to the new location and uses the existing settings in the new location. However, if no configuration file is found you can choose to either copy an existing base directory or create a new one.
Note
The new base directory path is saved in the Windows registry. The registry setting remains if you uninstall or upgrade the server, so subsequent installations continue to use the new location. The registry setting is created in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Micro Focus\ReflectionPKI. Or, on 64-bit systems: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Micro Focus\ReflectionPKI
