Migration Overview

Migration from Identity Synchronization for Windows version 1.1 to version 6.0 is accomplished in the following major phases:

1.Preparing your Identity Synchronization for Windows 1.1 installation for migration.

2.Uninstalling Identity Synchronization for Windows 1.1.

3.Installing or upgrading dependent products.

4.Installing Identity Synchronization for Windows 6.0 by using the configuration and connector states you backed up.

Note – Install Identity Synchronization for Windows 6.0 on the same platform and architecture where you installed Identity Synchronization for Windows 1.1.

Before You Migrate Identity Synchronization for Windows

Complete the following tasks before you migrate:

■Familiarize yourself with the new features and functionality provided in Identity Synchronization for Windows 6.0.

■Read Chapter 3, “Understanding the Product,” in Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.0 Installation Guide for installation and configuration information that you can use to plan your migration process.

■Document your version 1.1 deployment and configuration. Be sure to note any customizations you have made to the configuration.

■Schedule migration. Because the migration process requires at least four hours, you might want to schedule migration after normal business hours.

If the input password or attribute changes while you are migrating the system, Identity

Synchronization for Windows processes these changes as follows:

■For Active Directory. Any password changes made on Active Directory during the migration process will be synchronized on demand by the Directory Server Plug-in after the migration process.

■For Directory Server. Any password changes made on Directory Server during the migration process will not be synchronized. However, you can identify affected users in the Identity Synchronization for Windows 6.0 logs after completing the migration process. For more information, see “Checking the Logs” on page 144.

■For Windows NT. Any password changes made on NT during the migration process will not be synchronized.
