Migrating Netscape DS to FDS

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I think you will find the most trouble in o=NetscapeRoot. More than likely you will have to recreate 
  acls, roles, replication agreements, etc. by hand. I'm sure the data in o=UserRoot will not be a 
big deal. You just have to keep in mind that schemas may have varied slightly.

Certificates and keys will have to be imported/exported to the new server also. In all, i think you 
can go from Netscape 4.1 -> FDS 1.1.3 manually if you are well prepared.

You can always bring up a cloned instance of Netscape 4.1 and try the step upgrade.
