Hello,
We want to migrate from one Security Console to another with more licences, and then upgrade from 8.2 to 8.4. My questions are:
1- Can we migrate directly to 8.4?
2- Can we upgrade to 8.4 first and then import the tokens we exported, or do we have import 1st and then do the upgrade?
Thank you for your time.
To go from 8.2 to 8.4...full patches....it is 8.2.0.x.x>8.2.1.0.0>8.3.0.0.0>8.4
Or, you can export users and tokens from 8.2, and import that to 8.4 directly. You just cannot import the entire 8.2 database to 8.4, but the [users and tokens/authenticators assigned] can move between 8.x systems.
Perfect thank you very much Edward for the quick reply
Those users are using the tokens to authenticate to Agents. Are you moving the Agents too?
Yes we are going to recreate the agents and RADIUS clients in the new console before importing. Is that what you meant?
Oh good -- that often gets forgotten until it gets awkward. :-)
Hello,
Can you please provide answers to the below questions regarding the same upgrade from AM 8.2 to 8.4, or let me know if this is specific and we need to open a support case:
1. Whether upgrading client library is a must, or if RSA AM 8.4 will be compatible with RSA 8.2 client library?
2. Whether securID files need to be recreated in client application and registered in RSA AM?
3. Whether the client application key/certificate needs to be re-created/re-issued since RSA connection is a two-way SSL authentication?
Thank you for your time.
Walid Abdallah does "client" refer to SecurID Agents (discussed earlier in this thread) or RSA Authentication Manager Administration API application(s)?
Thanks,
Ted
Hi Ted, yes we are referring to the Administration API application(s
Walid Abdallah - thanks for the clarification. Yes, it is always recommended to upgrade your Admin API client files when upgrading Authentication Manager.
Please check the 8.4 Developer's Guide for any pre-requisites (in particular java version requirement).
Hope that helps,
Ted
Thank you Ted!
