Red Hat SYSTEM 8.0 - MIGRATION GUIDE 7.X TO 8.0 Manual page 65

internal=password
Internal LDAP Database=passwordldap
4. If the 7.x server instance used the password.conf file to start the server instance automatically,
then this file must also be migrated to the 8.0 server instance.
cp old_server_root/cert-old_instance/config/password.conf /var/lib/new_DRM_instance/conf/
password.conf
5. Log into the 8.0 server as the Certificate System user, and open the Certificate System conf/
directory.
cd /var/lib/new_DRM_instance/conf/
6. Log in as root, and set the file user and group to the Certificate System user and group.
chown user:group password.conf
7. Log out as root. As the Certificate System user, change the permissions on the password file.
chmod 00600 password.conf
8. Copy the tags and passwords that were listed from the 7.x pwdcache.db file into the
password.conf file.
The password cache dump from the pwdcache.db file looks like the following:
internal : password
Internal LDAP Database : password
The password.conf file has the following format:
internal=310062130979
internaldb=password
internaldb in 8.0 is the same as Internal LDAP Database in 7.x.
5.2.2. Migrating Passwords from 7.2 and 7.3
Versions 7.2, 7.3, and 8.0 all store passwords in a text file, password.conf, in the conf/ directory.
To migrate the passwords, simply copy the password.conf file to the 8.0 instance directory.
NOTE
Make sure that the permissions and ownership for the password.conf file are set
properly so that it can be accessed by the migrated instance.
1. Log in as root, and set the file user and group to the Certificate System user and
group.
