Updating a server configuration on the command line

You can change a Spotfire Server configuration by running a series of commands on the command line.

Procedure

Open a command line.
Run the export-config command to export the configuration from the Spotfire database to a configuration file; for additional information, see Executing commands on the command line.
```
> config export-config configuration.xml
```
where "configuration.xml" is optional and the -f (--force) option is not applied.
Update the configuration in the configuration file using selected commands. Example:
```
> config config-auth --configuration=configuration.xml --auth-method=BASIC --jaas-database
```
where "--configuration=configuration.xml" is optional.
Run the import-config command to import the updated configuration file into the Spotfire database.
Example:
```
> config import-config --comment="Switched to BASIC authentication using the Spotfire Database authentication source" configuration.xml
```
where "configuration.xml" is optional.
Restart the server(s).
Remove the configuration.xml file or restrict access to it.

Note: Do not remove the bootstrap.xml file.
