Migrate the WebSphere Commerce Version 8 site security

Manually migrate the site security from the WebSphere Commerce Version 8 development environment to the WebSphere Commerce Version 9 development environment.

Procedure

1. If you enabled AES encryption on the WebSphere Commerce development database and file system, migrate your encryption settings files to the WebSphere Commerce Version 9 development environment.

   1. Copy the following files from the WebSphere Commerce Version 8 development environment to the same location on the WebSphere Commerce Version 9 development environment:

      • WCDE_installdir\setup\vmm.properties

      • WCDE_installdir\components\sso\properties\ltpa.properties

      • workspace_dir\WC\properties\ILogJRulesConfiguration.properties

      • workspace_dir\WC\XML\config\BusinessAuditDataCapture.xml

      • workspace_dir\WC\XML\config\FTP.xml

2. If you used the Key Locator Framework (KLF) in the WebSphere Commerce Version 8 development environment, migrate your key provider customizations. For more information about the KLF, see Key Locator Framework (KLF).

   1. Open the WebSphere Commerce Version 8 workspace_dir/xml/config/wc-server.xml file, and look for the KeysConfigFile parameter. This parameter points to a separate custom key configuration XML.

   2. Open our custom key XML file.

   3. The custom files that are referenced in this keys XML file must be copied to the same directories on the WebSphere Commerce Version 9 development environment, and then deployed through our CI/CD pipeline which is covered in one of the last steps when you migrate the development environment.

3. Migrate any other custom security files that were part of the WebSphere Commerce Version 8 development security solution by copying the files to the WebSphere Commerce Version 9 development environment.
