Upgrade Safeguard for Sudo

Safeguard for Sudo supports a direct upgrade installation from version 2.0. The Safeguard software in this release is provided using platform-specific installation packages.

If you are currently running Privilege Manager for Unix 2.0, it may be possible to perform a direct upgrade installation depending on the package management software on your platform (Note: Direct upgrade installations are not possible with Solaris.pkg packages). If you perform a direct upgrade installation, your previous configuration details are retained. Where a direct upgrade is not possible, you must first remove the previously installed package, and install and configure Safeguard as a new product installation.

Before you upgrade

Because the Safeguard 7.2.3 original platform installer packages do not provide an automated rollback script, One Identity highly recommends that you back up important data such as your license, pm.settings file, policy, and log files before you attempt to upgrade your existing Safeguard policy servers.

To install Safeguard 7.2.3, change to the directory where the install package is located for your platform and run the package installer. See Installing the Safeguard packages for details about how to install the Safeguard for Sudo software.
