1) Periodically copy user/group definitions and filter definitions from the "primary" iXp server to the DR one by using "rsync"(Linux), "xcopy" (Windows) or other file syncing utilities.

2) To copy over the iXp files to another directory, you will need these directories/files, on top of the default iXp installation image :

$IXP_HOME/dat/user
$IXP_HOME/dat/group
$IXP_HOME/etc/user
$IXP_HOME/etc/group
$IXP_HOME/etc/instance
$IXP_HOME/etc/userCommand

3) Additionally, the server.conf file in $IXP_HOME/etc directory can be updated or copied based on the desired settings and specific license key.

After copying over the "etc" files, restart Tomcat and retest
