RSA Authentication Manager 6.1 to 8.1 Migration Guide
Agent Agent In version 8.1, you do not need to
specify a specific agent type (such as
UNIX agent or single-transaction
server) when adding an agent.
As part of the migration process, you
can specify whether the IP address of a
self-registered agent is maintained
when the agent is migrated.
Administrative roles Administrative roles The scope and task lists of the
Authentication Manager 6.1 default
roles (realm, site and group) are
migrated. In version 8.1, you can create
roles by defining a set of permissions.
You then assign the role to an
administrator. The scope of the role is
defined by the security domain in
which the role is created.
Scope Scope In version 6.1, the scope of an
administrative role defines who the
administrator can manage. For
example, in version 6.1, the
administrator can be scoped to a realm,
site, or group.
In version 8.1, the ability to scope
administrative roles to security
domains greatly increases
administrative flexibility. With
configurable permissions, fine
distinctions between the administrative
capabilities of each role can be made.
Task lists Administrative roles The default task lists (realm, site and
group) are migrated to sets of
administrative permissions called roles.
Version 8.1 roles contain permissions
that allow administrators to perform
certain tasks. Version 6.1 custom task
lists are migrated to roles that
approximate the same administrative
capabilities. Version 8.1 contains
additional predefined roles. For more
information, see Predefined
Administrative Roles on page 31.
