Upgrade a 5.5 Policy Store to a 6.0 Policy Store

Note: This section is for users upgrading their policy store from 5.5 to 6.0 only.

Important! Before running a SiteMinder utility or executable on Windows Server 2008, open the command line window with Administrator permissions. Open the command line window this way, even if your account has Administrator privileges. For more information, see the release notes for your SiteMinder component.

To upgrade existing SiteMinder 5.5 policy store to SiteMinder 6.0 policy store schema in IDS

1. Stop the DSA that contains the 5.5 Policy Store. Go to dsa, comms, LDAP and modify the option "paging mode" to always. Restart the DSA.
2. On the DSA that contains the SiteMinder 5.5 policy store, perform an LDAP modify, using the supplied IDS_Upgrade_Schema_55TO60.ldif file.

   Example:

   ldapmodify -h <server_IP> -p <port_number> -D "cn=manager" -w
   <password> -c -f "IDS_Upgrade_Schema_55TO60.ldif"
   

   Note: ldapmodify requires version 4.2 of the Critical Path InJoin Directory Server.

3. Use the iCon GUI to reload the schema or verify that the schema has been updated.
4. Point the SiteMinder 6.0 Policy Server to the existing 5.5 policy store on which the schema was upgraded.
5. Import the base policy store data for upgrade from 5.5 to 6.0 from the file sm_upgrade_55_to_60.smdif.

   Example:

   smobjimport -i<siteminder_installation>\db\smdif\
   sm_upgrade_55_to_60.smdif -v -f
