106 B: Reverting RSA Authentication Manager 8.1 to Version 6.1
RSA Authentication Manager 6.1 to 8.1 Migration Guide
Revert a Migration Using a Different Hostname and IP Address
If you migrated with a new hostname or IP address, the process of reverting to
version 6.1 requires that you generate new version 6.1 configuration files for any
agent that authenticated to an version 8.1 instance.
Procedure
1. On the version 8.1 primary instance, stop all Authentication Manager services.
See “Manage RSA Authentication Manager Services Manually” in the Advanced
Administration chapter of the RSA Authentication Manager 8.1 Administrator’s
Guide for instructions.
2. Start the version 6.1 primary server.
On Windows:
a. On the version 6.1 primary server, click Start > Programs > RSA Security >
RSA Authentication Manager Control Panel.
b. In the left-hand menu, click Start & Stop RSA Authentication Manager
Services.
c. Under Start Services, click Start All.
On Solaris and Linux:
On the version 6.1 primary server, at the command line, type:
ACEPROG/sdconnect start
ACEPROG/aceserver start
3. In the Database Administration application, generate new configuration files for
all authentication agents.
a. Click Agent Host > Generate Configuration Files.
b. Click All Agent Hosts.
c. Click OK.
The sdconf.rec file is created in a directory in the ACEDATA/config_files
directory. The directory is named for the assigned Acting Master (or Acting
Master/Slave pair) and the IP addresses of the assigned Acting Servers.
4. On each version 8.1 replica instance, stop all Authentication Manager services.
5. Restart any version 6.1 replica servers.
6. Distribute the new sdconf.rec files to any agents that authenticated to the
version 8.1 instances.
