CLI in a Docker environment

In a Docker environment, a subset of the appliance CLI commands are available for us to manage the runtime aspects of the appliance.

The CLI can be accessed by invoking the "isva_cli" command in the container. For example, the command to access the CLI in a container with the name "isva_config" would be: "docker exec -it isva_config isva_cli".

The reload command

The reload global command is a new command used to reload the configuration for Docker containers. After making configuration changes, use this command to reload the latest configuration data and apply the changes to the running services.

The supported options include:

reload [all|check|policy|runtime] [force]

all

Reload the entire configuration. This will involve some minimal service interruption while the services are restarted.

check

Check Whether the container is running with the latest snapshot.

policy

Reload the ISAM policy database. No service interruption will occur as a result of this operation. The policy option is only available in web reverse proxy containers.

runtime

Reload the federation and advanced access control runtime information. No service interruption will occur as a result of this operation. The runtime option is only available in runtime containers.

force

Use this option to force the use of the locally cached data in the event the configuration service is unavailable.
