Result
The security configuration of previous WebSphere Application Server releases and its applications are migrated to the new installation of WebSphere Application Server Version 6.0.x.What to do next
This task is for migrating an installation.If a custom user registry is used in the previous version, the migration process does not migrate the class files that are used by the custom user registry in the previous_install_root/classes directory. Therefore, after migration, copy your custom user registry implementation classes to the install_root/classes directory.
If you upgrade from WebSphere Application Server, Version 5.x or 4.0.x to WebSphere Application Server, Version 6.0.x, the data that is associated with Version 5.x or 4.0.x trust associations is not automatically migrated to Version 6.0.x. To migrate trust associations, see Migrating trust association interceptors.
