Migrating Certificates When You Upgrade
Key-pair files and certificates are migrated only if your server has security enabled.
You can also migrate keys and certificates by themselves using the Security tabs in
the Enterprise Server Administration Server page and the Server Manager page.
In Enterprise Server 6.1, the Enterprise Server Administration Server and each
server instance has its own certificate and key-pair file, referred to as a trust
database instead of an alias.
You manage the trust database and its constituent certificates, including the server
certificate and all the included Certificate Authorities, from the Enterprise Server
Administration Server for itself, and from the Server Manager for server instances.
The certificate and key-pair database files are now named after the server instance
that uses them. If in the previous version, multiple server instances shared the
same alias, when migrated the certificate and key-pair file are renamed for the new
server instance.
The entire trust database associated with the server instance is migrated. All the
Certificate Authorities listed in your previous database are migrated to the
Enterprise Server 6.1 database. If duplicate CAs occur, use the previous CA until it
expires. Do not attempt to delete duplicate CAs.
