Additional configuration information
Note: During the upgrade, vasd reloads and updates its user and group cache. To restart the Safeguard Authentication Services caching service, see Restarting services.
Note: If you are using the licensed version of the Safeguard Authentication Services agent earlier than 3.0, see Licensing Safeguard Authentication Services for licensing instructions.
Note: Oracle Solaris: The -a vasclient-defaults option specifies an alternative default file for pkgadd administrative options that allows pkgadd to overwrite an existing package with a new package.
pkgadd does not support the concept of upgrading a package, so this allows you to upgrade without having to rejoin your machine to the Active Directory domain, or uninstalling the old version first.
Note: HP-UX: Reboot the HP-UX machine to ensure that all of the new files are installed. HP-UX does not allow you to overwrite files that are in use—this is done as part of the boot sequence.
