Upgrade an 12.0 Policy Server on Windows

You run the SOA Security Manager installer (ca-soasm-12.1-cr001-win32.exe) to upgrade the Policy Server. The executable can be downloaded from the Technical Support site.

To locate installation kits on the Support site

1. Click Technical Support.
2. Log into CA Support Online.
3. Click Download Center.

Search the Download Center for the installation kit you need.

Note: Before installing the Policy Server, ensure that the system meets the windows requirements.

To upgrade the Policy Server

1. Exit all applications that are running.
2. Navigate to where the installation executable is located.
3. Double-click ca-soasm-12.1-cr001-win32.exe.

   The SOA Security Manager installation wizard starts.

4. Considering the following when running the installer:
   • When prompted to select features to install, select CA SOA Security Manager Policy Server.
   • When prompted to select the components you want configured:
     • You must reconfigure components that had been previously configured for the environment. Ensure the respective check boxes are selected.
     • If you do not intend on configuring a new policy store, clear the Policy Store check box. You do not have to reconfigure existing policy store settings. The upgraded Policy Server retains the policy store settings. You manually upgrade an existing policy store.
     • If you plan on using WS-Security SAML tokens, ensure that the Create SM Key Database/Change SM Key Database Password option is selected.
   • If you selected the Create SM Key Database/Change SM Key Database Password check box:
     • Create a r12.1 smkeydatabase if you intend on migrating your existing smkeydatabase data into this repository.
     • Change the password if you intend on upgrading an existing smkeydatabase. Changing the password re-encrypts the database password and existing encrypted data using FIPS-compliant algorithms.
   • If you cut and paste path information into the wizard, you must also enter a character before the Next button is enabled.
5. Review the installation settings and click Install.

   The Policy Server is upgraded and any selected components are configured for use with the Policy Server.

   Note: The FSS Administrative UI is installed during the Policy Server upgrade. The FSS Administrative UI is for managing CA SiteMinder Federation Security Services and is required only if using WS-Security SAML tokens. If you need it, register the FSS Administrative UI with the Policy Sever after upgrading the policy store. More information on registering the FSS Administrative UI exists the in Policy Server Installation Guide.

If you experience problems during the installation, you can locate the CA_SOA_Security_Manager_r12.1_InstallLog.log file in soa_home\install_config_info

You can also use the ca-ps-details.log file located in soa_home\siteminder\install_config_info to check the status of the installer's auto-configuration of an ADAM or Sun Java System Directory Server policy store.
