CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone Installation and Upgrade Guide › Migrate to CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone 12.52 › How to Migrate to 12.52 › Import the Existing Configuration to the New System

Import the Existing Configuration to the New System

1. Import all the configuration data using the XPSImport command. The syntax is as follows:

   XPSImport export_file_name -passphrase passphrase

   export_file_name

   Names the XML file that resulted from the export of the original configuration. The file name must end with the extension .xml.

   passphrase

   Specifies the passphrase that is required to decrypt sensitive data. This passphrase must be the same one that encrypted the data for the export to the file. Obtain the passphrase from the administrator who created the XML file originally.

   The passphrase must be at least eight characters and must contain at least one digit, one upper case, and one lower case letter. If the passphrase contains a space, then it must be enclosed in quotes.

2. Stop CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone services according to your platform.
   • Windows

     Use the CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone stop shortcut. If you logged in as a network user and not a local administrator, right-click the shortcut and select Run as administrator.

     Select Start, All Programs, CA, Federation Standalone, Stop services.

   • UNIX
     1. Open a command window.
     2. Run the script federation_install_dir/fedmanager.sh stop

   Note: Do not stop and start the services as the root user.

3. For environments using an ODBC database (SQL or Oracle) as a user store, you must designate a data source name for the database.

   Windows:

   a. Go to the Data Sources (ODBC) from the Administrative Tools control panel.

   b. Add a new data source entry and specify a data source name for that entry.

   Refer to Windows documentation for adding data sources.

   UNIX:

   Modify the system_odbc.ini file to include the data source name (DSN) for the database. This DSN names the database in use before the migration. This DSN entry is required for the CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone system to connect to the database and complete transactions.

   1. Navigate to the directory federation_install_dir/siteminder/db.
   2. Open the system_odbc.ini file in a text editor.
   3. Add the DSN.
   4. Save the file.

   Note: You can add SQL and Oracle data sources in the same system_odbc.ini file.

4. Rerun the Configuration wizard, using the same settings as the CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone configuration on the original system. These settings include:
   • Deployment Mode
   • Port numbers
   • Virtual Host Name
   • CA SiteMinder® Connector

   Important! If you manually changed the Apache Tomcat http.conf file or the SPS server.conf file, make those same changes to those files on the new system.

5. Migrate SSL keys and certificate by doing one of the following tasks:
   • Migrate SSL keys and certificates to the new system. Follow the SSL migration procedure. Migrating SSL data lets you avoid the purchase of a new key or certificate.
   • Generate a new key/certificate request and then get the certificate signed. SSL certificates are not included in the imported configuration file.

After all the data is migrated, reactivate partnerships.
