RSA Authentication Manager 6.1 to 8.1 Migration Guide
Copy the RADIUS Migration Package File to an Import Location
If you are migrating the RSA Authentication Manager 6.1 primary server to a version
8.1 primary instance, copy the RADIUS migration package file,
radiusMigration_time_stamp.pkg, from the RSA_AM_HOME/prog/radius/
Admin/ directory on the RSA Authentication Manager 6.1 primary server host to one
of the following locations:
• Your local machine. This option allows you to upload the file through your
browser.
• A Network File System (NFS)
• A Windows shared folder
• The RSA Authentication Manager 8.1 server in the directory
/opt/rsa/am/migration. To copy the file to version 8.1, you can use a Secure
Copy Protocol (SCP). If you use an SCP client, log on as rsaadmin, and enter the
operating system password that you specified during Quick Setup.
RSA recommends that you copy the RADIUS migration package file through a secure
network or by removable media. Note the location where you copy the package file.
You will supply this location when you migrate the RADIUS data using the
Operations Console.
If you plan to migrate the RADIUS migration package from an NFS or Windows
Shared folder, make sure the file is stored in a separate directory from other migration
files such as the database dump file. If you import the log data from the 8.1 server, the
/opt/rsa/am/migration location must only contain the RADIUS migration package.
Important: If you transfer files using FTP, use binary mode to avoid corrupting the
data.
The RADIUS migration package contains data from the RADIUS database only. The
migration process does not include RADIUS log files or configuration files. To access
the log files, manually copy the entire RADIUS installation directory from the version
6.1 Authentication Manager deployment to the version 8.1 deployment. You can then
access the version 6.1 RADIUS logs, which are ASCII text files, using the information
in the Logging chapter of the RSA RADIUS 6.1 Server Administrator’s Guide.
