PingAM 8.0.0

Migrate legacy instances

Rather than upgrade legacy instances (running an OpenAM or AM version that is no longer supported), you must instead manually migrate from your existing deployment to a new deployment.

For complex legacy deployments, Ping Identity can help you with the migration process.

Upgrade a legacy deployment

  1. Prepare your customized AM .war file.

  2. Prepare a new deployment, installing servers from the new, customized .war file, starting with the instructions in Install AM.

  3. After installation, configure the new servers in the same way as the old servers, adapting as necessary.

  4. Validate that the new service is performing as expected.

  5. Redirect client application traffic from the old deployment to the new deployment.
