Step 2: Upgrade v4.51/4.61 Policy Server and Option Pack to v6.0 SP 6

At the producer site, upgrade a 4.51/4.61 Policy Server and its Option Pack to version 6.0 SP 6.

Upgrade the Policy Server first followed by the Web Agent to maintain single sign-on and failover.

Important: Upgrade the Policy Server before upgrading the Web Agent. For instructions, see the SiteMinder Upgrade Guide.

The following illustration shows the upgrade path.

1. Upgrade the 4.51/4.61 Policy Server to 6.x.

   As part of the Policy Server upgrade procedure, import the .smdif file, which was generated when you exported the 4.51/4.61 policy store, to the 6.x policy and key store.

   Use the smobjimport utility to import the file. The command syntax is:

   smobjimport -ifile_name -dadmin_name -wadmin_pw -4 -k -c -v -t

   Example:

   smobjimport -ipstore.smdif -d"SM Admin" -wpassword -k -c -v -t

   Note: For instructions on upgrading the 4.51/4.61 Policy Server to 6.x and using the smobjimport utility, see the SiteMinder Upgrade Guide.

2. Install the Policy Server Option Pack for 6.x.

   The Policy Server Option Pack installs federation features on the Policy Server.

   Note: For instructions, see the Policy Server and Web Agent Option Pack Guide.
