Step 5: Migrating Password Cache
Data
The password information for the Certificate System subsystems are saved in a special
password file. In Certificate System 7.0 and 7.1, these were kept in the
contents of the password file must be decrypted and listed using the
7.x subsystem instance. Then, this information must be used to build the contents of the 7.3
file.
password.conf
In Certificate System 7.2, passwords were kept in the
instance_ID
/var/lib/
This file contains the passwords for both internal database and the password for the
file. The 7.2
password.conf
NOTE
Only Certificate System 7.0 and 7.1 password cache data need to be migrated.
For Certificate System 7.2, simply copy the
instance directory.
Every 7.0 and 7.1 subsystem password file must be migrated separately, but the migration
procedure is the same for all Certificate System subsystem instances.
1. Log into the 7.x server as the Certificate System user for that machine, and open the
directory.
config/
cd old_server_root/cert-old_instance/config/
2. Run the
PasswordCache
database.
old_server_root/bin/cert/tools/PasswordCache old_passwordcache_password -d
old_server_root/alias
-P cert-old_instance-old_hostname- -c pwcache.db list
This lists the information stored in the password cache.
cert/key prefix = cert-old_instance-old_hostname-
path = old_server_root/alias
