3.2 Saving, Applying, or Canceling Configuration
Changes
When you make configuration changes on a page accessed from Devices > Access Gateways > Edit
and click OK on that page, the changes are saved to the browser cache. If your session expires or you
close the browser session before you update the Access Gateway with the changes, the changes are
lost.
The Configuration page (Devices > Access Gateways > Edit) allows you to control how your
changes are saved so they can be applied with the update options (see
Updating the Configuration Status," on page
If you have any configuration changes saved to the browser cache, use the following options to
control what happens to the changes:
OK: To save the configuration changes to the configuration store, click OK. This allows you to
return at a later time to review or modify the changes before they are applied. If your Access
Gateways are clustered and you prefer to update them one at a time, you need to save the
configuration change. This ensures that the changes aren't lost before the last cluster member is
updated. When your session times out or you log out, the configuration changes are flushed from the
browser cache. If this happens before the changes have been applied to some servers in the cluster,
the changes cannot be applied to those servers.
If you decide to cancel the saved changes, click the Revert button and the saved configuration is
overwritten by the last successfully applied configuration.
Cancel: To cancel changes that are pending in the browser cache, click the Cancel button. To cancel
modifications to specific services, click the Cancel link by the service. The Cancel button does not
affect the changes that have been saved to the configuration store.
Revert: To cancel any saved changes, click Revert, then confirm the cancellation. The saved
configuration is overwritten by the last successfully applied configuration.
If you have applied the changes to one member of the cluster, you cannot use the Revert button to
revert to the configuration you had before applying the changes. If you decide you do not want to
apply these changes to other members of the cluster, remove the server that you updated with the
changes from the cluster. Then click Revert to cancel the saved changes. The members of the cluster
return to the last successfully applied configuration. To apply this configuration to the removed
server, add this server to the cluster.
The Revert button and the Cancel button cannot cancel the following configuration changes:
Identity Server Cluster: If you change the Identity Server Cluster option on the Reverse
Proxy/Authentication page, then click OK on the Configuration page, the Revert button cannot
cancel this change. It is saved, and the next time you apply a configuration change, the Identity
Server cluster configuration is applied. To cancel the change, you need to return to the Reverse
Proxy/Authentication page, set the Identity Server Cluster option to the original selection, then
click OK on the Configuration page.
