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 of CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone. An upgrade requires that the existing system be running an operating system, a database, and a JDK that the new version of CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone supports.

A migration is a replicated configuration from an existing system to a system with a new 12.52 installation. The new CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone system must be communicating with a supported database version.

Notes:

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

For specific version information, see the CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone Platform Support Matrix on the Technical Support site.

You can upgrade or migrate to 12.52 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. After a successful upgrade, follow the FIPS migration process.
