Upgrades to the CA SiteMinder® Agent for SharePoint

No direct upgrade path exists for moving from the CA SiteMinder® Agent for SharePoint with SharePoint 2007 to the CA SiteMinder® Agent for SharePoint with SharePoint 2010. As discussed in the Overview chapter, the agent used with SharePoint 2010 uses a claims-based authentication model supported by SharePoint 2010. The previous agent for use with SharePoint 2007 used different authentication models.

Migration Process

Your organization decides to move from a SharePoint 2007 environment to a SharePoint 2010 environment. You can repurpose your SharePoint 2007 hardware when you migrate to SharePoint 2010. If you decide to do so, consider the steps outlined in this topic.

To migrate the CA SiteMinder® Agent for SharePoint from SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2010 complete, the following steps:

1. Uninstall the CA SiteMinder® Agent for SharePoint running on the SharePoint 2007 system. The uninstall procedure is documented in the CA SiteMinder Agent for Microsoft SharePoint Guide r12.0.
2. Upgrade the SharePoint environment to SharePoint 2010.
3. Install the CA SiteMinder® Agent for SharePoint 12.52 SP1 as described in this guide.

Note: You may be able to reuse some of the sites from your SharePoint 2007 deployment in your SharePoint 2010 deployment. See Microsoft.com and SharePoint 2010 documentation for SharePoint migration recommendations, including the migration of existing user identities to the claims format.
