Chapter 7   Migrating the Gateway, Netlet, and NetFile



Note All instances of the Sun™ ONE Portal Server 3.0 product refer to what were formerly known as the iPlanet™ Portal Server 3.0, Service Pack 3a and iPlanet™ Portal Server 3.0, Service Pack 4 products.


This chapter describes the migration of the Sun ONE Portal Server 3.0 gateway attributes, NetFile, and Netlet to Sun™ ONE Portal Server, Secure Remote Access 6.0.

This chapter contains the following sections:

Overview

Migrating Sun ONE Portal Server, Secure Remote Access-related data from 3.0 to 6.0 involves running the Sun ONE Portal Server 3.0 Data Migration Tool Suite provided with Sun™ ONE Portal Server 6.0 and the Sun ONE Portal Server, Secure Remote Access migration scripts. If you install the Sun ONE Portal Server, Secure Remote Access migration scripts after installing the Sun ONE Portal Server 3.0 Data Migration Tool Suite, the Sun ONE Portal Server, Secure Remote Access installation of the migration tools creates the BaseDir/SUNWps/migration/modules/srap and BaseDir/SUNWps/migration/modules/srap_dp directories and places the modules in them.

Table 7-1 shows the file names and descriptions of the modules in the BaseDir/SUNWps/migration/modules/srap directory. This two-column table lists the module file name in the first column and the module description in the second column.

Migrating the Sun ONE Portal Server, Secure Remote Access 6.0 components involves the following configurations of Sun ONE Portal Server 3.0 portal server and the gateway:

Sun ONE Portal Server 3.0 Gateway and Server on the Same Machine

This scenario requires installation of:

  • Sun ONE Portal Server 3.0 Data Migration Tool Suite and Sun ONE Portal Server, Secure Remote Access migration tools on the Sun ONE Portal Server 3.0 system.

  • Sun ONE Portal Server, Secure Remote Access 6.0 migration tools on the Sun ONE Portal Server, Secure Remote Access 6.0 gateway system.

  • Sun ONE Portal Server: Secure Remote Access 6.0 migration tools on the Sun ONE Portal Server 6.0 system.

Sun ONE Portal Server 3.0 Gateway and Server on Different Machines

This scenario requires installation of:

  • Sun ONE Portal Server, Secure Remote Access migration tools on the Sun ONE Portal Server 3.0 gateway machine.

  • Sun ONE Portal Server 3.0 Data Migration Tool Suite and Sun ONE Portal Server, Secure Remote Access migration tools on the Sun ONE Portal Server 3.0 system.

  • Sun ONE Portal Server 3.0 Data Migration Tool Suite and Sun ONE Portal Server, Secure Remote Access 6.0 migration tools on the Sun ONE Portal Server 6.0 system.

  • Sun ONE Portal Server, Secure Remote Access 6.0 migration tools on the Sun ONE Portal Server 6.0 gateway machine.

You need to run the Sun ONE Portal Server 3.0 Data Migration Tool Suite script convertps to migrate the NetFile- and Netlet-related information.

The migration tools required for gateway migration are installed when you choose the option Install SRA Migration Tools during installation of Sun ONE Portal Server, Secure Remote Access 6.0.

Table 7-3 shows the two migration scripts and their descriptions. This two-column table shows the name of the migration script in the left column and its description in the right column.


Table 7-3    Sun ONE Portal Server, Secure Remote Access 6.0 Migration Tools

Name of Script

Description

exportsrap  

Exports all Sun ONE Portal Server 3.0 gateway information.  

importsrap  

Imports all exported gateway information into Sun ONE Portal Server, Secure Remote Access 6.0 in the required format.  

Gateway migration involves migrating the CA certificates from the certificate database.

You need to install the Sun ONE Portal Server, Secure Remote Access 6.0 migration tools on the Sun ONE Portal Server 3.0 gateway machine and also on the Sun ONE Portal Server, Secure Remote Access 6.0 gateway system.

Migrating Sun ONE Portal Server 3.0 Gateway Data

Migrating the gateway data involves running the exportsrap script on the Sun ONE Portal Server 3.0 gateway machine, and the importsrap script on the Sun ONE Portal Server, Secure Remote Access 6.0 gateway system.

Run exportsrap if the gateway is on a standalone machine. Otherwise SRA Migration is an option on the export menu when you run exportps.


Note If you have installed the Sun ONE Portal Server, Secure Remote Access 6.0 migration tools, Netlet and NetFile are migrated as part of the Sun ONE Portal Server 3.0 Data Migration tools.

Ensure that you run the Sun ONE Portal Server 3.0 Data Migration Tool Suite and the Sun ONE Portal Server, Secure Remote Access 6.0 migration scripts for a complete gateway migration.


Migrating Gateway Data From a Stand-Alone Gateway System

Migrating the Sun ONE Portal Server 3.0 gateway data involves several steps as follows:

  1. As root on the gateway system, change to the directory containing the Sun ONE Portal Server, Secure Remote Access migration tools. For example:

    cd BaseDir/SUNWps/migration/bin

  2. Run the exportsrap script. For example:

    ./exportsrap

    You see the messages similar to the following on your screen:

    Which directory should be created to store the gateway certificates? [/tmp/psExport]

  3. Press Enter to accept the default directory /tmp/psExport or type in the name of another directory. You see messages similar to the following.

    If the export directory already exists, you see a message similar to the following:

    Export directory /tmp/psExport already exists.

    Delete the directory /tmp/psExport?

  4. Type yes and press Enter if you want to delete the directory or type no if you do not wish to delete the directory. You see messages similar to the following:

    Found iPS version 3.0sp4

    Begin export process at Tue Sep 17 01:26:41 GMT 2002

    Error file: /tmp/psExport/logs/error.13026

    Report file: /tmp/psExport/logs/report.13026

    Copying certificates

    Successful completion of export process at Tue Sep 17 01:26:42 GMT 2002

  5. On the Sun ONE Portal Server 3.0 system, change to the directory above the export directory containing the data output by the export tool.

    For example, if you used the default directory (/tmp/psExport) for exporting the Desktop, you would type:

    cd /tmp

  6. Save the export directory using the tar command. For example:

    tar cvf export.tar psExport

  7. Use an FTP program to transfer the export.tar file to the Sun ONE Portal Server 6.0 gateway system.

  8. Extract the files from export.tar using the tar command. For example:

    tar xvf export.tar

  9. On the Sun ONE Portal Server 6.0 system, change to the migration tool directory:

    cd BaseDir/SUNWps/migration/bin

  10. Run the importsrap command. For example:

    ./importsrap

  11. You see output similar to the following on your screen:

    Which directory contains the exported gateway certificates? [/tmp/psExport]

  12. Press Enter to accept the default directory /tmp/psExport or type in the name of the directory containing the exported data. You see messages similar to the following:

    Begin import process at Tue Sep 17 12:16:40 IST 2002

    Error file: /tmp/psExport/logs/error.14557

    Report file: /tmp/psExport/logs/report.14557

Migrating Gateway Data From a System Containing the Gateway and Server

This section provides instructions for running the three migration tools that make up the Sun ONE Portal Server 3.0 Data Migration Tool Suite.

To Run the Export Tool

  1. On the Sun ONE Portal Server 3.0 system, change to the migration tool directory:

    cd BaseDir/SUNWps/migration/bin/

  2. Run the exportps command:

    ./exportps [-a] [-p LDAP passphrase] [ExportDir]

    Table 7-4 describes the options available for exporting gateway data and gateway certificates. This two-column table lists the options in the first column and their descriptions in the second column.


    Table 7-4    Options Available for Exporting Gateway Data and Gateway Certificates

    Option

    Description

    -a  

    Runs all modules without a menu.

    To choose to export only gateway data and gateway certificates from the export menu, do not use the -a option.  

    -p LDAP passphrase  

    Sets the LDAP passphrase in order to avoid the LDAP passphrase prompt. If you do not use the -p LDAP passphrase option with the -a option, the tool will prompt you for the LDAP passphrase.  

    ExportDir  

    Specifies the directory where the information is to be saved. If you do not use the ExportDir option, the tool prompts you for the export directory.  

  3. The system displays a message similar to the following:

    Which directory should be created to store the Portal Server system? [/tmp/psExport]

    You see this prompt only if you do not specify the output directory on the command line. You can choose the default directory /tmp/psExport or enter the export directory.

    Type the directory and press Enter.

  4. The system displays a message similar to the following:

    Delete the directory /tmp/psExport?

    You see this message only if there is already exported data in the ExportDir directory. If you have not already exported gateway data and certificates, you may keep the export directory without risking any conflicts in the data. If you have already exported gateway data and certificates, you should delete the directory to avoid conflicts.

  5. The system displays a message similar to the following:

    Found iPS version 3.0sp3a

    Begin export process at Mon Sep 9 10:30:14 PDT 2002

    Error file: /tmp/psExport/logs/error.11390

    Report file: /tmp/psExport/logs/report.11390

    Metrics file: /tmp/psExport/logs/export_metrics.11390

    Export Menu:

    Copying templates and resource bundles

    Copying certificates

    Exporting gateway certificates

    Successful completion of export process at Mon Sep 9 10:33:34 PDT 2002

  8. Change to the export directory you specified in Step 2 or Step 3. For example:

    cd ExportDir

    Substitute the export directory for ExportDir. If you used the default export directory, for example, use /tmp/psExport.

    Type ls to see the directories created by the export tool.

    Table 7-5 shows the directory created by the export tool when exporting gateway data and gateway certificates. This two-column table lists the directory in the first column and its description in the second column.


    Table 7-5    Directory Created by the Export Tool When Exporting Gateway Data and Gateway Certificates 

    Directory

    Description

    ExportDir/srap  

    Contains the gatecert subdirectory where exported gateway certificates are stored.  

    After the export has completed, or if you run into problems, check the ExportDir/logs directory for the report.PID, error.PID, and export_metrics.PID files (where PID is the process ID). The report.PID file contains actions the export tool has or has not taken. The error.PID file contains warnings or errors so that you can correct any problems. The export_metrics.PID file contains metrics detailing when various elements of the export tool started, stopped, and the total time it took to export the data. You can look at the stdout header to know which log and report files to examine for the exportps command you are running.

  9. Examine the exported data and manually change, before converting the data, all instances of the name of the Sun ONE Portal Server 3.0 system to the name of the Sun ONE Portal Server 6.0 system. If the port numbers on the two systems are different, you must change these manually as well.

    If you are performing a single-system migration, server names will be the same, but port numbers will be different. You need to change port numbers manually before converting the data.

    The migration tools do not modify server names and port numbers.

    For example, in the following extract of the exported data in the ExportDir/config/platform.config file, you need to change manually all instances of host1.siroe.com, which is the name of the Sun ONE Portal Server 3.0 system, to the name of the Sun ONE Portal Server 6.0 system if the systems use different names. If the systems use different port numbers, you need to change them as well.

    ips.defaultDomain=siroe.com

    ips.server.protocol=http

    ips.server.host=host1.siroe.com

    ips.server.port=8080

    ips.profile.host=host1.siroe.com

    ips.profile.port=8080

    ips.gateway.protocol=https

    ips.gateway.host=host1.siroe.com

    ips.gateway.port=443

    ips.gateway.trust_all_server_certs=false

    ips.virtualhost=host1.siroe.com 192.18.66.42

    ips.naming.url=http://host1.siroe.com:8080/namingservice

    ips.notification.url=http://host1.siroe.com:8080/notificationservice

To Run the Conversion Tool

  1. On the Sun ONE Portal Server 3.0 system, change to the directory above the export directory containing the data output by the export tool.

    For example, if you used the default directory (/tmp/psExport) for exporting the gateway data and gateway certificates, you would type:

    cd /tmp

  2. Save the export directory using the tar command. For example:

    tar cvf export.tar psExport

  3. Use an FTP program to transfer the export.tar file to the Sun ONE Portal Server 6.0 system.

  4. Extract the files from export.tar using the tar command. For example:

    tar xvf export.tar

  5. On the Sun ONE Portal Server 6.0 system, change to the migration tool directory:

    cd BaseDir/SUNWps/migration/bin

  6. Run the convertps command:

    ./convertps [-a] [-f] [-i ExportDir] [-o ImportDir]

    Table 7-6 describes the options available for the convertps command. This two-column table lists the options in the first column and their descriptions in the second column.


    Table 7-6    Options Available for Converting Gateway Data and Gateway Certificates  

    Option

    Description

    -a  

    Runs all modules without a menu.

    To choose to convert only gateway data and gateway certificates from the conversion menu, do not use the -a option.  

    -f  

    Converts Sun ONE Portal Server 3.0 roles to iPlanet™ Directory Server Access Management Edition 5.1 roles and places users under the organization. This option retains the multiple role to user assignment similar to Sun ONE Portal Server 3.0, but does not retain the hierarchical role functionality. All roles are created under the organization and are not prioritized. The display profile documents are prioritized and merged accordingly. To see if the roles have been migrated to roles, view the roles under the organization in the admin console.

    If you do not use the -f option, the conversion tool converts Sun ONE Portal Server 3.0 roles to iPlanet Directory Server Access Management Edition 5.1 suborganizations and places users under the suborganization. Without the -f option, the conversion tool retains the hierarchical functionality and customizations from Sun ONE Portal Server 3.0. The disadvantage is that it is difficult to move users from one suborganization to another. To see if the roles have been migrated to suborganizations, view the hierarchy in the admin console.  

    -i ExportDir  

    Specifies the input directory for the conversion. The input directory is the directory which contains the exported data created by the export tool. The conversion tool searches for export data in /tmp/psExport unless you specify a different input directory using the -i ExportDir option.

    If you specify a directory which does not contain data exported with the export tool, the conversion tool notifies you that the directory does not have export data and prompts you to enter a valid export directory.  

    -o ImportDir  

    Specifies the output directory for the conversion tool. The output directory is the directory used by the import tool.

    If you choose an import directory which already contains converted data, the conversion tool notifies you that modifying an existing migration may render import data unusable and prompts you to delete the import directory.  

  7. The system displays the following message:

    Found Portal Server version 6.0

    Which directory should be created to store the converted data? [/tmp/psImport]

    You see this prompt only if you do not specify the output directory using the -o ImportDir option. You can choose the default directory or enter another import directory.

    Import directory /tmp/psImport already exists.

    If you do not wish to overwrite data within this directory, please exit this migration process and rename the directory.

    Delete the directory /tmp/psImport?

    You see the message about an existing import directory only if the import directory already contains converted data. If you have already converted the gateway data and gateway certificates, you should exit this migration process by pressing Ctrl-C and rename the directory before converting the data.

  8. After you choose the output directory, you see output similar to the following:

    Begin conversion process at Tue Sep 17 15:41:55 SGT 2002

    Error file: /tmp/psImport/logs/error.27888

    Report file: /tmp/psImport/logs/report.27888

    8) Exit

    Select one of the listed options to convert:

    You see the conversion menu only if you do not specify the -a option.

  9. Type 2 and press Enter to convert only secure remote access components.

    The system displays messages similar to the following:

    End SRA conversion process at Tue Sep 17 15:43:05 SGT 2002

    Successful completion of conversion process at Mon Sep 9 12:20:01 PDT 2002

  10. Change to the import directory making sure to substitute the import directory that you selected in Step 7. For example:

    cd ImportDir

    Substitute the import directory for ImportDir. If you used the default import directory, for example, use /tmp/psImport.

  11. Type ls to see the directories created by the conversion tool.

    Table 7-7 shows the directories created by the conversion tool when migrating the gateway. This two-column table lists the directories in the first column and their descriptions in the second column.


    Table 7-7    Directories Created by the Conversion Tool When Converting Gateway Data

    Directory

    Description

    ImportDir/logs  

    Contains error.PID, export_metrics.PID, and report.PID files (where PID is the process ID)  

    ImportDir/srap  

    Contains subdirectories for gateway-related desktop data such as gateway certificates, Netlet, NetFile's user, role, and organization attributes, and desktop display profile XML files.  

    After the conversion has completed, or if you run into problems, check the ImportDir/logs directory for the report.PID, error.PID, and convert_metrics.PID files (where PID is the process ID). The report.PID file contains actions the conversion tool has or has not taken and also alerts you to any customizations which you need to convert manually. The error.PID file contains warnings or errors so that you can correct any problems. The convert_metrics.PID file contains metrics detailing when various elements of the conversion tool started, stopped, and the total time it took to convert the data. You can look at the stdout header to know which log and report files to examine for the convertps command you are running.

If you run the convertps tool again in order to convert data other than certificate databases, the tool will prompt you to delete the import directory. Type no if you wish to keep the certificate databases you have already converted.

To Run the Conversion Tool to Convert Display Profile Data

  1. On the Sun ONE Portal Server 6.0 system, change to the migration tool directory:

    cd BaseDir/SUNWps/migration/bin

  2. Run the convertps command:

    ./convertps [-a] [-f] [-i ExportDir] [-o ImportDir]

  3. The system displays the following message:

    Found Portal Server version 6.0

    Which directory should be created to store the converted data? [/tmp/psImport]

    Contains subdirectories for gateway-related desktop data such as gateway certificates, Netlet, NetFile's user, role, and organization attributes and desktop display profile XML files.  

After the conversion has completed, or if you run into problems, check the ImportDir/logs directory for the report.PID, error.PID, and convert_metrics.PID files (where PID is the process ID). The report.PID file contains actions the conversion tool has or has not taken and also alerts you to any customizations which you need to convert manually. The error.PID file contains warnings or errors so that you can correct any problems. The convert_metrics.PID file contains metrics detailing when various elements of the conversion tool started, stopped, and the total time it took to convert the data. You can look at the stdout header to know which log and report files to examine for the convertps command you are running.

To Run the Import Tool

  1. On the Sun ONE Portal Server 6.0 system, change to the import tool directory. For example:

    cd BaseDir/SUNWps/migration/bin

  2. Run the importps command:

    ./importps [-a] [-k] [-m] [ImportDir]

    Table 7-9 describes the options available for importing secure remote access data. This two-column table lists the options in the first column and their descriptions in the second column.


    Table 7-9    Options Available for Importing Secure Remote Access Data 

    Option

    Description

    -a  

    Runs all modules without a menu.

    To choose to import only the secure remote access data from the import menu, do not use the -a option.  

    -k  

    Specifies that the tool does not overwrite existing users.

    When you run importps without the -k option, if it encounters a conflict with an existing user, it will delete the existing user and import the new user entry defined in ImportDir/ldap/user.ldif.

    If you run importps -k, if it encounters a conflict with an existing user, it leaves the existing user and places the rejected user entry in ImportDir/ldap/rejected_users.ldif.

    If the user has a display profile document in the ImportDir/dp/user/ directory, the display profile file may change. The -k option does not affect importing user display profile documents. The -k option only affects whether an existing LDAP user's LDIF record is updated. The updates to the LDIF record include everything except display profile updates.  

    -m  

    Merges display profile documents.

    When you run importps without the -m option, it overwrites any existing display profile documents it finds. This means that the root suffix, organization, suborganization, and user level display profile documents, if they exist, are overwritten.

    If you run importps -m, when the tool encounters a conflict with an existing display profile document it will merge it.  

    ImportDir  

    Specifies the directory where the converted data is located. If the directory does not exist or if the directory does not contain valid converted data, the import tool prompts you to enter a directory containing the converted data to be imported. If you do not specify an import directory, the import tool will search /tmp/psImport.

    Successful completion of import process at Thu Sep 19 18:41:47 IST 2002

After the import has completed, or if you run into problems, check the ImportDir/logs directory for the importreport.PID, importerror.PID, and import_metrics.PID files (where PID is the process ID). The importreport.PID file contains actions the import tool has or has not taken and also alerts you to any customizations which you need to import manually.

You can look at the stdout header to know which log and report files to examine for the importps command you are running.

Verifying the Migration

After the gateway migration is complete, verify that

  • The certificates are migrated under the instance name migrated (/etc/opt/SUNWps/platform.conf.migrated).

  • The Sun ONE Portal Server 3.0 gateway profile is migrated as the gateway profile instance migrated.

  • The gateway, NetFile, and Netlet services are assigned to the newly created or migrated organizations, assuming that these packages have been installed.

    These services are assigned to all organizations, suborganizations, and users, but the users who did not have access will be put under a role restricting their access to these services.

  • The policy to enable the gateway, NetFile, and Netlet services is assigned to all new organizations and suborganizations.

Troubleshooting

After migration, there will be two sets of entries in the applications channel. They are the old Desktop migrated entries for NetFile lite and NetFile which you must remove because they point to non-existent URLs. There are also links to NetFile Java1 and NetFile Java2 which are not selected by default.

Delete the two NetFile links that appear on the Desktop after migration. Use the following URLs to access NetFile Java1 and NetFile Java2:

For NetFile Java1:

https://gateway_machine:port/http://server:port/portal/NetFileApplet?Refer=java1

For NetFile Java2:

https://gateway_machine:port/http://server:port/portal/NetFileApplet?Refer=java2
