How to upgrade to Sentry CA 3.6 from a previous version of Sentry CA.
The instructions for upgrading from a previous version of Sentry CA to Sentry CA 3.6 are not included on the product cdroms. There are also steps that need to be done before and after to leave the gid at the correct value.
Resolution
For details on how to upgrade from previous versions of Sentry CA to Sentry CA 3.6, please contact RSA support for documentation on the Sentry Upgrade Tool. This document provides details on how to complete each upgrade. Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.0 and higher is required to read it.

1. Before upgrading your existing Sentry CA database, through the Administration web server, go to
   https://<ca_hostname>:<admin_port>/ca/admin/listuobjects.xuda?objectclass=gid
   and click edit.
2. Record the value under Current Attribute for GID.
3. Complete your upgrade as documented in the Sentry Upgrade Tool.
4. Once you have restarted your services, again go to
   https://<ca_hostname>:<admin_port>/ca/admin/listuobjects.xuda?objectclass=gid
   and click edit.
5. Change the Current Attribute for GID to match what you recorded in step 2.
