A: Migration Data Conversion 97
RSA Authentication Manager 6.1 to 8.1 Migration Guide
Client type data Agent types are not migrated. Version 8.1 recognizes the
following agents types: standard agent and web agent.
However, if an agent is associated with a RADIUS client,
version 8.1 recognizes the agent type as a RADIUS client
agent.
The version 6.1 agent types currently have no impact on
runtime behavior related to Next Tokencode mode.
Additionally, version 8.1 does not support single
transaction agents.
System settings data You can choose to migrate all system settings, except for
the PIN generation setting.
The ability to allow users to choose between a
system-generated PIN, and a user-created PIN is no longer
available. You must set the PIN policy to be either
system-generated or user-created.
Administrator data • Site administrators are migrated. However,
administrators assigned to groups are not migrated as
administrators because in version 8.1 administrators
cannot be scoped to groups, only to security domains.
• Any administrator whose assigned task list contains only
the ability to edit system parameters is not migrated as
an administrator. Since system parameters are not
migrated, administrators with only the ability to edit
System Parameters have no equivalent version 8.1 task
available to them.
• Any administrator whose assigned task list does not
include the ability to configure trusted realms cannot
view trusted realms (the version 8.1 equivalent of
version 6.1 cross-realm relationships). For example, an
administrator assigned the version 6.1 Group Task List
or Site Task List cannot view trusted realms. In version
8.1, the ability to view trusted realms requires
permission to configure trusted realms.
Administrative role data Site administrative roles are migrated. The group role is
migrated, but not assigned to any administrator.
Customized roles are migrated to equivalent custom roles.
RSA recommends that you verify the scope and
permissions of each migrated administrative role to ensure
that assigned administrators retain sufficient privileges.
