7.1.1. Case I: Security Databases to Security Databases Migration

Remove all the security databases in the new Certificate System which will receive migrated data.
```
rm /var/lib/instance_ID/alias/cert8.db
rm /var/lib/instance_ID/alias/key3.db
```

Copy the certificate and key security databases from the old server to the new server.

cp old_server_root/cert-old_CA_instance/config/cert-old_CA_instance-cert7.db /var/lib/instance_ID/alias/cert7.db
cp old_server_root/cert-old_CA_instance/config/cert-old_CA_instance-key3.db /var/lib/instance_ID/alias/key3.db

As the Certificate System user account, open the new Certificate System alias/ directory.
```
cd /var/lib/instance_ID/alias/
```
Log in as root, and set the file user and group to the Certificate System user and group.
```
su
chown user:group cert7.db
chown user:group key3.db
```
Log out as root. As the Certificate System user, set the permissions on the security database files.
```
chmod 00600 cert7.db
chmod 00600 key3.db
```
Use the certutil tool to list all of the old Certificate System certificates. In this example, -L lists the certificates, and -X forces them to be read/write.
```
certutil -L -X -d .
Server-Cert cert-old_CA_instance cu,cu,cu 
caSigningCert cert-old_CA_instance cu,cu,cu
```
NOTE

The certificate database is automatically converted from cert7.db to cert8.db.
Remove the cert7.db file from the alias/ directory.
```
rm cert7.db
```
Open the CS.cfg configuration file in the CA instance directory.
```
cd /var/lib/instance_ID/conf
vi CS.cfg
```

Modify the values for the ca.signing.cacertnickname and ca.ocsp_signing.cacertnickname attributes to reflect the new CA instance.

ca.signing.cacertnickname=caSigningCert cert-old_CA_instance
ca.ocsp_signing.cacertnickname=caSigningCert cert-old_CA_instance

In the same directory, edit the serverCertNick.conf file to contain the old certificate nickname. For example:
```
vi serverCertNick.conf
Server-Cert cert-old_CA_instance
```
