Security administrator upgrade tasks
The Security administrator must prepare the security environment for FileNet® P8 upgrade, including planning the security environment, and creating accounts.
- Review all rows assigned to the Security Administrator (SA) for
upgrades in the Installation and Upgrade Worksheet.
Provide values for any rows appropriate to your installation that
you have not yet completed.Tip: With the command enabled, as it is by default in the worksheet file (p8_worksheet.xls), perform the following actions to quickly see only the properties assigned to a particular role:
- Click the AutoFilter drop-down arrow in the Role column header and select SA.
- Further filter the result set by clicking the AutoFilter drop-down arrow in any of the other columns and selecting a value or clear a filter by selecting All.
Security upgrade planning considerations
Review the security requirements for systems being upgraded.
- It is a best practice not to change realms (your authenticated users and groups), during an upgrade.
- If the new Content Platform Engine version does not support the directory server (LDAP) version you are already using, migrate the LDAP directory before upgrading.
- Contact your IBM® FileNet representative if you intend to change directory servers.
