Using an Existing Security Store

The Security Store configuration information is stored in a file in the instance folder called securitystore.config.json. If you have an existing security store that you would like to use for a new instance you can do so by creating or updating this file. 

The format of the JSON in the file is shown below. 

  • connectionName - this is the name of the connection you wish to use as defined in the config.js file databaseConnections section
  • schema - the name of the schema (IBM i library) that the security store is located in. 

The location you specify must already contain a valid Security Store created using the process described above.
