For example, on 32-bit machines:
/usr/share/pki/migrate/TpsTo80/linux/migrateTpsData.i386 old-old_TPS_instance.ldif
rhcs80-new_TPS_instance.ldif
8. Update the schema for the user entries in the users-old_TPS_instance.ldif file by running
the migrateTpsData command. For example, on 32-bit machines:
/usr/share/pki/migrate/TpsTo80/linux/migrateTpsData.i386 users-old_TPS_instance.ldif
users80-new_TPS_instance.ldif
9. Import the rhcs80-new_TPS_instance.ldif LDIF file into the Certificate System 8.0 server
instance's internal database.
/var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-example/db/ldif2db -n server.example.com-new_TPS_instance -i /var/
lib/dirsrv/slapd-example/ldif/rhcs80-new_TPS_instance.ldif
10. Import the users-old_TPS_instance.ldif LDIF file into the Certificate System 8.0 internal
database.
/var/lib/dirsrv/slapd-example/db/ldif2db -n server.example.com-new_TPS_instance -i /var/
lib/dirsrv/slapd-example/ldif/users-old_TPS_instance.ldif

8.2. Migrating the Security Databases

The Red Hat Certificate System 7.x security databases are, by default, stored in the alias/ directory
for the instance. There are three databases in this directory:
• cert8.db
• key3.db
• secmod.db
These databases are all migrated from the original TPS 7.x instance to the new TPS 8.0 instance.
Determine if the migration to be performed involves software security databases, an HSM, or both;
follow the appropriate process for the deployment scenario being migrated.
Section 8.2.1, "Option 1: Security Databases to Security Databases Migration"
Section 8.2.2, "Option 2: Security Databases to HSM Migration"
Section 8.2.3, "Option 3: HSM to Security Databases Migration"
Section 8.2.4, "Option 4: HSM to HSM Migration"

8.2.1. Option 1: Security Databases to Security Databases Migration

1. Remove all the security databases in the new Certificate System which will receive migrated data.
rm /var/lib/new_TPS_instance/alias/cert8.db
