Realm Name Change: If you are upgrading to OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0, the syntax for specifying the realm name is changed from Access Manager 7.0 and 7.1. For example, if the realm name in Access Manager is specified as realm=users, after the upgrade to OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0, you must change the name to realm=/users. This name change affects all services trying to authenticate against realms; therefore, you should consider this configuration change during your upgrade planning.
For the detailed upgrade steps, see the Sun OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 Upgrade Guide.
