Migration Failed Error Appears

Symptom:

I received a message stating that the smkeydatabase migration failed.

Solution:

The migration utility (smmigratecds) compared the contents of the smkeydatabase to the certificate data store and identified one or more data inconsistencies. An example of a data inconsistency is the same alias mapping to different certificates.

These inconsistencies prevented a successful migration.

Follow these steps:

1. Use the smkeydatabase migration log (smkeydatabaseMigration.log) to identify the problem.

   If you run the smmigratecds utility, you can specify a log file.

   The default location for the log file is federation_install_dir/siteminder/log.

   federation_install_dir is the installation directory for CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone.

2. Access the smkeydatabase using the smkeytool utility with the access legacy key store flag (–accessLegacyKS).
3. Resolve the data inconsistencies that resulted in the failure.

   Note: For more information, review how to use smkeytool.

4. Migrate the key database manually.
