Step 2: Installing The New Certificate System - Red Hat CERTIFICATE SYSTEM 7.0 - MIGRATION GUIDE Manual

Chapter 3.
Step 2: Installing the New Certificate
System
Install a new Certificate System 7.3 instance. All subsystem instances are installed separately;
make sure that every subsystem type which will be migrated has a corresponding new
subsystem instance.
1. Obtain the appropriate packages either through the
the ISO image from the Certificate System 7.3 Red Hat Network channel.
2. If installing from an ISO image, run the installation utility to install the packages. This is done
automatically when using
rhpki-install -pki_subsystem=subsystem_type -pki_package_path=/path/to/ISO
image -force
3. Go through the HTML configuration wizard for each subsystem.
When the installation process is completed, the server returns a URL pointing to the
configuration wizard. Click that link to open the configuration wizard. For example:
http://server.example.com:9080/ca/admin/console/config/login?pin=Yc6EuvuY2OeezKeX7REk
The configuration wizard will fully configure the new subsystem instance and will generate all
required certificates. Make sure to have all necessary information when going through this
wizard. All subsystems require information to an external Red Hat Directory Server, including
bind information. DRM, OCSP, TKS, and subordinate CAs require information for the CA
which will generate their subsystem certificates.
NOTE
It is possible to change the names of migrated Certificate System subsystem
instances, but greater care must be taken when extracting and renaming certain
portions of the data. Because port numbers are stored in the
which is unaffected by subsystem migration, port numbers can be changed
between instances without difficulty.
For more information on the panels in the configuration wizard, see chapter 2, "Installation
and Configuration," in the Certificate System Administrator's Guide.
