42 2: Planning For Migration
RSA Authentication Manager 6.1 to 8.1 Migration Guide
If you find it necessary to revert to RSA Authentication Manager 6.1 or
RSA SecurID Appliance 2.0, you must perform these tasks:
• Shut down the version 8.1 instances and restart the version 6.1 or version 2.0
servers.
• Redistribute configuration (sdconf.rec) files to each authentication agent.
• Delete the sdstatus.12 file from each RSA Authentication Agent to ensure that the
agents are sent a new contact list, which is the list of all the servers in the
deployment.
Authentication Agent Support
To ensure that users can continue to authenticate through existing agents and
RSA Secured hardware, verify that all authentication agents installed on the existing
system are supported with Authentication Manager 8.1. Version 5 agents and later are
supported.
Auto-Registration and Legacy Mode
Auto-registration is set to legacy mode when you upgrade from version 6.1 to
version 8.1. Legacy mode controls the re-assignment of IP addresses through agent
auto-registration. For more information on auto-registration, see the chapter
Deploying Authentication Agents in the RSA Authentication Manager 8.1
Administrator’s Guide.
Installed RSA Authentication Agents
The supported RSA Authentication Agents are listed and available for download on
the RSA web site in the Agent Supported Platform Matrix. Go to
www.emc.com/security/rsa-securid/rsa-securid-authentication-agents.htm
and
click Resources.
Embedded Agents in Third-Party Hardware and Products
The RSA Secured Partner Solutions Directory provides information about third-party
hardware and software products that are certified to work with RSA products. The
directory includes Implementation Guides with step-by-step instructions and other
information about interoperation of RSA products with these third-party products.
If you have any third-party agents on your network, go to www.rsasecured.com
,
search for your products, and verify that they are supported by version 8.1.
