G Upgrading Security Data

This appendix describes several procedures to update JAZN security data. Specifically, it describes how to upgrade data from release 10.1.3.x to security data used by OPSS in release 11g Release 1 (11.1.1), and how to upgrade file-based application policies from release 11.1.1.1.0 to release 11.1.1.2.0 using the offline OPSS script upgradeSecurityStore, which allows the separate upgrading of identity, policy, or credential data; in addition, it describes a procedure to update policies from a PS1 or PS2 release to a PS3 release, in the following sections:

If upgrading from 11gR1 to 11gR1 PS1:

For details about this upgrade combination, see section Special Instructions for Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.1.0) in Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Planning Guide.

For an overview and details about Identity Management upgrade, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Upgrade Guide for Oracle Identity Management.

G.1 Upgrading Security Data with upgradeSecurityStore

This section describes the use of the OPSS script upgradeSecurityStore to upgrade application security data from previous releases to more recent ones. The details of the particular scenarios are explained below, with the various syntaxes that the script has on each of the supported platforms.

If the target of the upgrading is an LDAP-based repository, then some setting up before running the script is required, as described in Section 8.2.2, "Prerequisites to Using an LDAP-Based Security Store."

The script is offline, that is, it does not require a connection to a running server to operate, and can be run in interactive mode or in script mode, on WebLogic, and in interactive mode only, on WebSphere. In interactive mode, you enter the script at a command-line prompt and view the response immediately after. In script mode, you write scripts in a text file (with a py file name extension) and run it without requiring input, much like the directives in a shell script.

For platform-specific requirements to run an OPSS script, see Important Note.

Script and Interactive Modes Syntaxes

The script syntax varies depending on the type of store being upgraded. Optional arguments are enclosed in square brackets; arguments in script mode syntax are written in separate lines for clarity of exposition.

To upgrade 10.1.3.x XML identity data to 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) XML identity data, use either of the following syntaxes:

updateSecurityStore -type xmlIdStore
                    -jpsConfigFile jpsConfigFileLocation
                    -srcJaznDataFile srcJazn
                    -srcRealm jaznRealm
                    [-dst dstJpsContext]

updateSecurityStore(type="xmlIdStore", jpsConfigFile="jpsConfigFileLocation", srcJaznDataFile="srcJazn", srcRealm="jaznRealm", [dst="dstJpsContext"])
                     

To upgrade a 10.1.3.x XML policy data to 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) XML policy data, use either of the following syntaxes:

updateSecurityStore -type xmlPolicyStore
                    -jpsConfigFile jpsConfigFileLocation
                    -srcJaznDataFile srcJazn
                    [-dst dstJpsContext]

updateSecurityStore(type="xmlPolicyStore", jpsConfigFile="jpsConfigFileLocation", srcJaznDataFile="srcJazn", [dst="dstJpsContext"])
                     

To upgrade a 10.1.3.x Oracle Internet DirectoryLDAP-based policy data to 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) XML policy data, use either of the following syntaxes:

updateSecurityStore -type oidPolicyStore
                    -jpsConfigFile jpsConfigFileLocation
                    -srcJaznConfigFile srcJazn
                    [-dst dstJpsContext]

updateSecurityStore(type="oidPolicyStore", jpsConfigFile="jpsConfigFileLocation", srcJaznConfigFile="srcJazn", [dst="dstJpsContext"])
                     

To upgrade file-based application policies from release 11.1.1.1.0 to release 11.1.1.2.0, use either of the following syntaxes:

updateSecurityStore -type xmlAppPolicies
                    -srcApp applicationStripeName
                    -jpsConfigFile jpsConfigFileLocation
                    -srcJaznDataFile srcJazn
                    -dstJaznDataFile dstJazn
                    -resourceTypeFile resTypeJazn

updateSecurityStore(type="xmlAppPolicies", srcApp="applicationStripeName", jpsConfigFile="jpsConfigFileLocation", srcJaznDataFile="srcJazn", dstJaznDataFile="dstJazn", srcJaznDataFile="resTypeJazn")
                     

To upgrade 11.1.1.1.0 application policies to 11.1.1.2.0 format, use either of the following syntaxes:

updateSecurityStore -type appPolicies
                    -srcApp applicationStripeName
                    -jpsConfigFile jpsConfigFileLocation
                    -dst dstContext
                    [-resourceTypeFile resTypeJazn]

updateSecurityStore(type="appPolicies", srcApp="applicationStripeName", jpsConfigFile="jpsConfigFileLocation", dst="dstContext" [, resourceTypeFile="resTypeJazn"])
                     

This upgrade works in-place and involves the creation of specified resource types and resources corresponding to permissions in the grants.

Once the run completes, the policy store pointed to by the context passed in dst in the configuration file passed in jpsConfigFile has new resource types and new resources defined for application passed in srcApp. The resource types are read from the file specified in resourceTypeFile and resources are created corresponding to permissions in the application grants.

The meaning of the arguments is as follows:

G.1.1 Examples of Use

The following sections contain examples that illustrate the use of the script upgradeSecurityStore in different scenarios:

G.1.1.1 Example 1 - Upgrading Identities

The following invocation illustrates the migration of 10.1.3 file-based identities to an 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) file-based identity store:

upgradeSecurityStore -type xmlIdStore 
                     -jpsConfigFile jps-config-idstore.xml
                     -srcJaznDataFile jazn-data.xml
                     -srcRealm jazn.com

This use of the script assumes that: (a) the files jps-config-idstore.xml and jazn-data.xml are located in the directory where the script is run; (b) the default jpsContext in the file jps-config-idstore.xml references the target identity store; and (c) the file jazn-data.xml contains a realm named jazn.com.

Here are the relevant excerpts of the two files involved in the use sample above:

<!-- excerpt from file jps-config-idstore.xml -->  
<serviceProviders>
   <serviceProvider name="R11idstore" class="oracle.security.jps.internal.idstore.xml.XmlIdentityStoreProvider" type="IDENTITY_STORE">
     <description>11g XML-based IdStore</description>
   </serviceProvider>
</serviceProviders>
...
<serviceInstances>
  <serviceInstance name="idstore.xml1" provider="R11idstore" location="./jazn-data-11.xml">
    <property name="subscriber.name" value="jazn.com"/>
    <property name="jps.xml.idstore.pwd.encoding" value="OBFUSCATE"/>
  </serviceInstance>
</serviceInstances> 
...
<jpsContexts default="default">
   <jpsContext name="default">
      <serviceInstanceRef ref="idstore.xml1" />
   </jpsContext>
</jpsContexts>
<!-- excerpt from jazn-data.xml -->
<jazn-realm>
          <realm>
                <name>jazn.com</name>
                    <users> ... </users>
    <roles> ... </roles>
  </realm>
</jazn-realm>

Thus, the sample invocation above migrates every user in the element <users>, to the XML identity store R11idStore.

G.1.1.2 Example 2 - Upgrading to File-Based Policies

The following invocation illustrates the migration of a 10.1.3 file-based policy store to an 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) policy store:

upgradeSecurityStore -type xmlPolicyStore 
                     -jpsConfigFile jps-config.xml
                     -srcJaznDataFile jazn-data.xml
                     -dst destContext

This use of the script assumes that: the files jps-config.xml and jazn-data.xml are located in the directory where the script is run; and the file jps-config.xml contains a jpsContext named destContext.

Here are the relevant excerpts of the two files involved in the use sample above:

<!-- excerpt from file jps-config.xml -->
<serviceProviders>
  <serviceProvider type="POLICY_STORE" name="policystore.xml.provider" class="oracle.security.jps.internal.policystore.xml.XmlPolicyStoreProvider">
  <description>R11 XML-based PolicyStore Provider</description>
        </serviceProvider>
</serviceProviders>
...
<serviceInstances>
  <serviceInstance name="policystore1.xml" provider="policystore.xml.provider">
  <property name="R11PolStore" value="jazn-data1.xml"/>
</serviceInstance>
...
<jpsContexts default="default1">
   <jpsContext name="default1"> ... </jpsContext>
   <jpsContext name="destContext">
       ...
       <serviceInstanceRef ref="policystore1.xml"/>
   </jpsContext>
</jpsContexts>
<!-- excerpt from jazn-data.xml -->
<jazn-realm>
          <realm>
                ...
    <roles> ... </roles>
  </realm>
</jazn-realm>
...
<jazn-policy> ... </jazn-policy>

Thus, the sample invocation above migrates every role in the element <roles> and every policy in the element <jazn-policy> to the XML policy store R11PolStore.

G.1.1.3 Example 3 - Upgrading to Oracle Internet Directory LDAP-Based Policies

The following invocation illustrates the upgrading of a 10.1.4 Oracle Internet Directory LDAP-based policy store to an 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) Oracle Internet Directory LDAP-based policy store:

upgradeSecurityStore -type oidPolicyStore 
                     -jpsConfigFile jps-config.xml
                     -srcJaznConfigFile jazn.xml
                     -dst destContext

The assumptions about the location of the two XML files involved in this example are similar to those in Example 2. In addition, it is assumed that (a) the file jps-config.xml contains the jpsContext destContext that points to the target Oracle Internet Directory LDAP-based policy store; and (b) the file jazn.xml describes the location of the Oracle Internet Directory LDAP server from where the policies are migrated.

Here is the relevant excerpt from the file jazn.xml:

<jazn provider="LDAP" location="ldap://myCompany.com:3843">
   <property name="ldap.user" value="cn=orcladmin"/>
   <property name="ldap.password" value="!welcome1"/>
   <property name="ldap.protocol" value="no-ssl"/>
   <property name="ldap.cache.policy.enable" value="false"/>
   <property name="ldap.initctx" value="com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory"/>
</jazn>

G.1.1.4 Example 4 - Upgrading File-Based Policies to Use the Resource Catalog

The following invocation upgrades an application 11.1.1.1.0 file-based policy store to an application 11.1.1.2.0 file-based policy store.

updateSecurityStore -type xmlAppPolicies
                    -srcApp PolicyServlet1
                    -jpsConfigFile ./folder/jps-config.xml
                    -srcJaznDataFile ./11.1.1.1.0/jazn-data.xml
                    -dstJaznDataFile ./11.1.1.2.0/final-jazn-data.xml
                    -resourceTypeFile ./resCat/res-jazn-data.xml
 

The point of this upgrade is that the original 11.1.1.1.0 file does not use resource catalog elements, but the resulting 11.1.1.2.0 file does use resource type and resource instance elements.

The script basically takes the original application configuration file, along with another file specifying resource type elements, and it produces a new application configuration file that contains policies as in the original file, but modified to use resource catalog specifications.

The original and the new application configuration files provide identical behavior to the application.

The above invocation assumes that:

  • The source file ./11.1.1.1.0/jazn-data.xml contains policies for the application PolicyServlet1.

  • The resource type file ./resCat/res-jazn-data.xml contains resource type specifications for the application PolicyServlet1.

  • The configuration file ./folder/jps-config.xml is any valid configuration file that may or may not use an audit service instance. In any case, it must be specified.

The following samples illustrate the relevant portions of three data files: the input source jazn-data.xml and resource res-jazn-data.xml, and the output final-jazn-data.xml.

G.2 Upgrading Policies with upgradeOpss

upgradeOpss is an offline script that upgrades PS1 or PS2 configurations and stores to a PS3 configuration and store. This script takes a PS1 or PS2 jps configuration file and updates it into a PS3 configuration file based on a PS3 system-jazn-data file.

Important Note:

upgradeOpss must be run on the system that hosts the administration server instance, so that when the server comes up, the updagraded data is pushed to all managed servers in the cluster.

Specifically, this script carries out the following actions:

Once the script completes, the file passed in the first argument is transformed to a jps-config.xml file that can be used in the PS3 domain. The OPSS binaries and the target policy store must have compatible versions; for details, see Section L.20, "Incompatible Versions of Binaries and Policy Store."

Note:

Before using this script, make sure that you backup the store to be upgraded. In case of a LDAP store, backup all data under the root node of the store (which is specified as a property of the store in the configuration file). In case of an upgrade failure, restore that node entirely.

Script Syntax

The script has the following syntax:

upgradeOpss(jpsConfig="ps1OrPs2JpsConfigFile", jaznData="ps3SystemJaznDataFile")

The meaning of the arguments is as follows:

Example of Use

The following invocation illustrates the use of this script, where jps-config.xml is a PS1 or PS2 jps configuration file, and system-jazn-data.xml is the out-of-the-box, PS3 system JAZN configuration file:

upgradeOpss(jpsConfig="./config/jps-config.xml", jaznData="/upgrade/system-jazn-data.xml")

The above invocation saves a copy of jps-config.xml in the file ./config/jps-config.xml.bak.
