102 A: Migration Data Conversion
RSA Authentication Manager 6.1 to 8.1 Migration Guide
Review the migration report to verify how the user extension data is migrated. If
necessary, edit the extension data in version 6.1 to create the preferred extension name
before attempting another migration.
Users in Multiple Groups in Different Sites
In RSA Authentication Manager 6.1, a user can have multiple group memberships,
with the groups belonging to different sites. In version 8.1, a user or user group can
exist in only one external identity source. Therefore, a user from one external identity
source cannot be a member of a user group from a different external identity source.
After migration to version 8.1, sites are converted to subdomains within a security
domain. The version 6.1 groups are migrated to these subdomains, and the user
becomes a member of these user groups, all within the same security domain.
In the following diagram, a user belonging to group 1 and group 2 under site 1 and site
2 respectively is migrated to subdomain 1 and subdomain 2 within the same security
domain in version 8.1.
A multivalued attribute that was previously
migrated with values is migrated again but
now includes new values. The data type has
not changed.
The attribute values are added to the existing
attribute.
Before completing migration, a multivalued
attribute is created on version 8.1 that has the
same name as 6.1 user extension data;
however, the 8.1 attribute is configured with
a different data type.
Because the 6.1 user extension data differs by
data type, the attribute is migrated into 8.1
with the "AM61_" prefix.
A 6.1 dump file contains single or
multivalued extension data that was
previously migrated; however, the extension
data in the dump file now contains a
different data type.
The extension data with the new data type is
not migrated.
