Before upgrading Access Manager 7.1, Access Manager 7 2005Q4, or Federation Manager 7.0, back up the files as described in the following sections.
If upgrading multiple instances of Access Manager or Federation Manager, backup these files for all instances.
Back up the Access Manager or Federation Manager schema (and any corresponding attribute values) that was loaded to Sun Java System Directory Server during installation. Export the data to an LDIF file using the appropriate Directory Server command.
If backing up Directory Server 6.x, use the dsadm export command. For more information, see the dsadm(1M) man page.
If backing up Directory Server 5.x, use the db2ldif command. For more information, see the db2ldif(1M) man page.
You will need to know the base suffix of the service management node (also referred to as the information tree) as defined in the amsamplesilent file. For information on the suffix of this node, see Configuring Different Root Suffixes for the Access Manager Information Tree and User Directory Nodes in Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1 Postinstallation Guide.
Because OpenSSO Enterprise does not require the iPlanetAMProviderConfigService and iPlanetAMAuthenticationDomainConfigService, the upgrade process removes these services from the schema. If you do not back up the schema, retrieval of these services is not possible after the upgrade is finished.
Back up the Access Manager or Federation Manager configuration data stored in the AMConfig.properties and severconfig.xml files. The location of the files is based on your platform.
Solaris systems: /etc/opt/SUNWam/config
Linux systems: /etc/opt/sun/identity/config
Windows systems (for Access Manager 7.1 only): C:\Program Files\Sun\JavaES5\identity\config
Back up any files that might have been customized for your Access Manager or Federation Manager deployment, including:
JSP files customized for the Access Manager console
JAR files for authentication and customized modules in the AccessManager-base/lib directory, where AccessManager-base represents the base installation directory based on your platform.
Solaris systems: /opt/SUNWam
Linux systems: /opt/sun/identity
Windows systems (for Access Manager 7.1 only): C:\Program Files\Sun\JavaES5\identity
If you are upgrading Federation Manager 7.0, back up the Federation Manager staging directory. For information about the staging directory see the Sun Java System Federation Manager 7.0 User’s Guide.
Modify any policy definitions that meet the criteria as documented in Modifying Policy Definitions. This can be done before or after the upgrade.
