How to Upgrade Sites that Do Not Require Single Sign–on or Failover

For upgrades from 5.x, you only have to follow the upgrade paths in the previous section if you want to maintain single sign–on or failover. If single sign–on or failover is not a requirement, you can do the following:

  1. Install an r6.0 SP6 Policy Server—a new installation, not an upgrade.
  2. Configure an r6.0 SP6 policy store.
  3. Export the 5.x policy store and import it into the r6.0 SP6 policy store.
  4. Uninstall SiteMinder 5.x.

Note: This process is most efficient if many 5.x sites share a policy store. However, if each site has an independent policy store, export each 5.x policy store and import it to a single r6.0 SP6 policy store when you upgrade.
