RSA Product/Service Type: Authentication Manager
RSA Version/Condition: 7.1 SP4, 8.x
Resolution
Do not deploy an Authentication Manager 8.1 replica, as you cannot simultaneously import data into the Authentication Manager 8.1 primary and expect it to replicate that same data.
- Create migration package with the Authentication Manager 7.1 export utility, optionally include logs if you want to run reports in 8.1 for data from the last 30 days (default).
- Import/migrate the package file into the Authentication Manager 8.1 primary from the Operations Console.
- Shutdown the Authentication Manager 7.1 primary. Leave the Authentication Manager 7.1 replica up if you want users to still authenticate.
- From the Authentication Manager 8.1 Operations console change the FQDN and IP address of the Authentication Manager 8.1 to match the old Authentication Manager 7.1.
- Open the Real Time Authentication Monitor on the Authentication Manager 8.1 primary to verify it authenticates users.
- Stop at least the Authentication Manager service on the Authentication Manager 7.1 replica.
- Verify that your new Authentication Manager 8.1 primary is authenticating.
- If necessary, uninstall your trial license on Authentication Manager 8.1 and import your production license .
- Shutdown the Authentication Manager 7.1 replica.
- Deploy your Authentication Manager 8.1 replica.
