Upgrade a 5.5 Policy Store to a 6.0 Policy Store

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 a 5.5 policy store to a 6.0 policy store

1. On the server having the SiteMinder 5.5 policy store, copy the following files in the Siemens_DirX folder, in <DirX_ install_path>\scripts\security\Netegrity\SiteMinder:
   • setup-upgrade.bat
   • dirxabbr-ext.SiteMinder55to60
   • schema_ext_for_SiteMinder55to60.adm
   • subschema_ext_for_SiteMinder55to60.cp
2. Do not to delete the schema files for 5.5 policy store, which are already there in that folder:
   • dirxabbr-ext.SiteMinder55,
   • schema_ext_for_SiteMinder55.adm,
   • subschema_ext_for_SiteMinder55.cp
3. Copy dirxabbr-ext.Siteminder55to60 to <DirX_install_path>\client\conf.
4. Run setup-upgrade.bat.
5. Check the resulting log file, setup.txt, for errors.
6. Rebind to the DSA using the DirXmanage tool. Watch for potential errors.
7. Point SiteMinder 6.0 policy server to the existing 5.5 policy store on which the schema was upgraded.
8. Import the base policy store data for upgrade from 5.5 to 6.0 from the file sm_upgrade_55_to_60.smdif. For example:

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