Migration of CentOS Operating System to Debian with PIM Installation on OS Debian GNU/Linux 10 (64-bit).

Products

• CA Privileged Identity Management Endpoint (PIM)

Issue/Introduction

The reason for this migration is that CentOS is no longer considered a stable and long-term distribution, which poses potential risks to our infrastructure. Therefore, we have initiated a migration project to ensure the continuity and security of our systems.

However, one of the challenges we face in this migration is the presence of the Privileged Identity Management (PIM) component on the CentOS machines. Currently, do not have an installation package or documented procedure for installing PIM on the Debian operating system.

Environment

Release : PIM 12.8

Cause

There is a need to know the feasibility of installing PIM on OS Debian GNU/Linux 10 (64-bit).

Resolution

WE yes support DEBIAN

If you use 12.8, here a guide how to upgrade debian, we have just released cumulative cp06 (upgrade instructions here)
