8.2. Migrating 4.2, 4.2 (SP 2), 4.5, and 4.7 Password Cache Data

  1. Log into the old server as the Certificate System user for that machine, and run the PasswordCache tool to list the passwords stored in the old pwdcache.db.

    cd old_server_root/cert-old_instance
    
    old_server_root/bin/cert/tools/PasswordCache
    old_passwordcache_password list
    
    ----- Password Cache -----
    Internal LDAP Database : passwordldap
    Internal Key Storage Token : passwordtoken
    

    This lists the information stored in the password cache. Write down both the tags and the passwords, such as the following:

    internal=passwordtoken
    

    The listed tags and passwords are used to create the password.conf file.

  2. Log into the new server as the Certificate System user.

  3. Open the new Certificate System config/ directory.

    cd /var/lib/instance_ID/conf/
    

  4. Open the password.conf file, and copy the listed tags and passwords into the file.
