Migration from IBM Tivoli Identity Manager 5.1 to IBM Security Identity Manager 7.0.1.13

Migrating from IBM® Tivoli® Identity Manager Version 5.1 to IBM Security Identity Manager Version 7.0.1.13 is similar to a separate server migration.

Important: Before you begin migration, read the migration assessment survey at http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21982329

You can use these tasks to migrate from a software stack installation to the virtual appliance.

Note: PBEWithMD5AndDES encryption is not a FIPS certified cipher. Starting from IBM Tivoli Identity Manager Version 5.0 and later, AES is the default encryption algorithm. The PBEWithMD5AndDES encryption algorithm is not supported for IBM Security Identity Manager 7. Ensure to migrate the data to use the new encryption algorithm, for example AES. IBM Tivoli Identity Manager provides a tool to change the cipher and migrate the data to use the new encryption algorithm. For more information, see Running the cipher migration tool in the IBM Tivoli Identity Manager 5.1 Installation and Configuration Guide.
