RSA Authentication Manager 6.1 to 8.1 Migration Guide
Realm Deployment In version 8.1, a deployment consists of
a primary instance and any associated
replica instances. A deployment has
one realm.
In version 6.1, a realm is the physical
installation of the primary
Authentication Manager and its replica
servers. While all objects exist within
the realm, the organizational hierarchy
follows a simpler model of realm, sites,
and groups.
Cross-realm Trusted realm In version 8.1, establishing trust
between realms requires the delivery of
a file called a trust package.
Site Security domain A security domain is an organizational
container that defines an area of
administrative management within a
deployment. Security domains can be
organized as business units, for
example, departments or partners. They
establish ownership and namespaces
for objects (for example, users, roles,
permissions, other security domains)
within the deployment. Security
domains are hierarchical.
Version 8.1 security domains can
contain nested security domains and
user groups. Version 6.1 sites exist at
one level below the realm, and contain
only groups or users, but never another
site.
Group User group User groups are equivalent to groups.
The ability to activate a group on an
agent host and control access times
remains in version 8.1.
Version 8.1 user groups are hierarchical
and may be nested.
User User Version 8.1 no longer supports access
time restrictions for individual users.
This functionality is provided by user
groups.
Agents no longer allow user
activations, only group activations.
