Once
            the Broker is started, subsequent management is performed using the <a class="link" href="Java-Broker-Management-Channel.html" title="Chapter 6. Management Channels">Management interfaces</a></p><p> The configuration for each component is stored as an entry in the broker
            configuration store, currently implemented as a JSON file which persists changes to
            disk, BDB or Derby database or an in-memory store which does not. The following
            components configuration is stored there: </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>Broker</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Virtual Host Nodes</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Loggers</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Ports</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Authentication Providers (optionally with Users for managing users Authentication Providers)</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Access Control Providers</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>User Connection Limit Providers</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Group Providers (optionally with Groups and GroupMembers for managing groups Group Providers)</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Key stores</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Trust stores</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Plugins</p></li></ul></div><p>
        </p><p>Broker startup involves two configuration related items, the 'Initial Configuration'
            and the Configuration Store. When the broker is started, if a Configuration Store does
            not exist at the current <a class="link" href="Java-Broker-Initial-Configuration-Location.html" title="5.2. Configuration Store Location">store location</a> then one will be initialised with the current <a class="link" href="Java-Broker-Initial-Configuration-Initial-Config-Location.html" title="5.3. 'Initial Configuration' Location">'Initial
                Configuration'</a>. Subsequent broker restarts will use the existing configuration
            store and ignore the contents of the 'Initial Configuration'. </p></div></div><div class="navfooter"><hr /><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="Java-Broker-Concepts-Other-Services.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"> </td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="Java-Broker-Initial-Configuration-Location.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">4.10. Other Services </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="Apache-Qpid-Broker-J-Book.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> 5.2. Configuration Store Location</td></tr></table></div></div>
