Upgrade and Migration Paths for CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone

An upgrade is an update to a new version of CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone on a system running an existing 12.x version. An upgrade requires that the existing system be running an operating system, a database, and a JDK that the new version of the product supports.

A migration is a replicated configuration from an existing system to a system with a new 12.52 SP1 installation. The new federation system must be communicating with a supported database version.

Notes:

• Your migration to a 12.52 SP1 environment must include a supported database. If your environment is using a database that is not supported by 12.52 SP1, install a supported database server and move over your data to the new database. Finally, migrate to 12.52 SP1.
• If you upgrade to 12.52 SP1 and the Federation Agent for Windows Authentication is installed, upgrade the Agent to the same version as the federation system. Otherwise, the Agent fails to work properly.

For specific version information, see the Platform Support Matrix on the Technical Support site.

You can upgrade or migrate to 12.52 SP1 based on these available paths:

Windows

Solaris/Linux

FIPS Migration

CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone supports migration from a non-FIPS to a FIPS-only environment; however, the migration process is complex. If you want to migrate from a non-FIPS to a FIPS-only environment, first complete the upgrade to 12.52 SP1. After a successful upgrade, follow the FIPS migration process.
