Mixed-mode support allows 6.x Policy Servers to continue using 5.x policy stores during a migration. When upgrading a 5.x Policy Server to 6.x, if the Policy Server upgrade program detects that you have a 5.x policy store, it automatically sets the 6.x Policy Server to the mixed (compatibility) mode. There is no setting that allows you to turn the mixed-mode on or off. After the upgrade is complete, mixed-mode support is indicated on the title bar of the 6.x Policy Server User Interface.
The Policy Server Management Console allows you to see what policy store version the 6.x Policy Server is using.
To check the policy store version
Important! If you are accessing this graphical user interface on Windows Server 2008, open the shortcut with Administrator permissions, even if you are logged into the system as an Administrator. For more information, see the release notes for your SiteMinder component.
The policy store version is listed on the About dialog box.
Note: The policy store's version numbers do not match the Policy Server version. For example, the 5.5 Policy Server's policy store version is 6 and the 6.x Policy Server's version is 7.
