UNIX Console
To upgrade the Policy Server
- Exit all applications that are running.
- Execute the following script in a ksh shell from the SiteMinder installation directory:
../ca_ps_env.ksh
Note: Be sure that there is a space between the periods (. .) when running the script.
- Open a shell and navigate to the installation executable.
- Enter the following command:
./installation_media -i console
The Policy Server installer starts.
Note: For a list of installation media names based on operating system, see the installation and upgrade considerations in the Policy Server Release Notes.
- Considering the following when running the installer:
- The installer prompts you to select SiteMinder components. Each component is prefixed with a number. Type numbers separated with a comma (,) to select one or more components. Enter only a comma to select none of the features. When selecting components:
- Reconfigure components that had been previously configured for the environment. Be sure to select the respective components.
- Only select Policy Store if you are configuring a new policy store. You do not have to reconfigure existing policy store settings. The upgraded Policy Server retains the policy store settings. You manually upgrade an existing policy store.
- Select Create SM Key Database/Change SM Key Database Password if:
- You plan on using features related to Federation Security Services.
- You plan on using the SiteMinder Information Card Authentication Scheme. For example, you can use the SiteMinder Information Card Authentication Scheme for the support of Microsoft CardSpace.
Note: If you create a key database, the installer prompts you to install the default CA certificates. Leave Import default CA certificates selected and install these certificates. You can add additional certificates and private keys to a key database after the upgrade.
- Review the installation settings and press Enter.
The Policy Server is upgraded. The selected components are configured for use with the Policy Server.
If you experience problems during the upgrade, you can locate the Policy Server installation log file at siteminder_home\siteminder\install_config_info.
