Backup and restore of the Certificate Issuing System in Certificate Manager

This article describes the backup strategy for the Certificate Issuing System (CIS) in Smart ID Certificate Manager (CM).

The CIS log, cis.conf and any soft token files should be backed up on storage media on a regular basis.

All requests received by the CIS are logged, and one log file per day is generated. You handle the CIS log file in the Administrator's workbench (AWB), see also Search the CIS log in Certificate Manager in Audit tasks in Certificate Manager.
