RSA Authentication Manager 6.1 to 8.1 Migration Guide
2 Planning For Migration
Migration Planning Checklist
Before you start the migration process, complete the following tasks.
 Perform an Authentication Manager 6.1 to 8.1 Migration Assessment. See
Complete an Authentication Manager 6.1 to 8.1 Migration Assessment
on
page 40.
 Determine the migration path:
– Migrate to version 8.1 using the same hostname and IP address as version 6.1.
– Migrate to version 8.1 using a new hostname and IP address.
 Determine which identity sources you want to use:
– The internal database
– Microsoft Active Directory Server
– Sun Java System Directory Server
– Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition 11g
 Verify that the administrator responsible for migration has access and sufficient
administrative privileges to perform the following tasks on version 6.1:
– Dump the database
– Perform administrative tasks required to clean up the database
For more information on issues that may require cleaning up the database, see
Migration Report
on page 100.
 Verify that you are using supported and correctly configured browsers to access
the RSA consoles. See the RSA Authentication Manager 8.1 Setup and
Configuration Guide for the list of supported web browsers.
 Determine if the version 6.1 servers use custom ports for administration,
authentication, and other services. If your existing servers use custom ports, you
must configure version 8.1 to use the same ports after migration.
 Verify that installed authentication agents are supported, including the following:
– RSA authentication agents
– RSA Secured third-party devices with embedded agent software
– Custom agents created using the version 6.1 authentication API
Any custom agent developed using the authentication API prior to version 5 is no
longer supported.
