Safeguard Authentication Services 4.1.5 - Upgrade Guide

Upgrade Management Console for Unix 2.0

The process for upgrading Management Console for Unix from an older version is similar to installing it for the first time. The installer detects an older version of the console and automatically upgrades the components.

Before you begin the upgrade procedure, close the console and make a backup of your database, as explained in step 1.

To upgrade Management Console for Unix

1. Backup the database files:
   1. Shutdown the service. (See Start/Stop/Restart Management Console for Unix Service in the console online help for details.)

      Management Console for Unix uses a HSQLDB (Hyper Structured Query Language Database) to store its data such as information about the hosts, settings, users, groups, and so forth.

   2. Copy the /var/opt/quest/mcu data directory to a backup location.

      Refer to Database Maintenance in the online Help for more information about the database locations and filenames.

   3. After backup is complete restart the service. (See Start/Stop/Restart Management Console for Unix Service in the console online help for details.)

      Once you backup the database files, you are ready to start the upgrade.

2. To start the upgrade, follow the instructions for a first-time installation. (See Installing the Management Console in the console online help for details.)

   When the installer detects a previous version of the mangement console is already installed, it asks if you want to continue.

3. Click Yes at the Install Management Console for Unix dialog.
4. Accept the terms of the license agreement and click Next.
5. Modify the default SSL (https) and Non-SSL (http) port numbers, if necessary, and click Install.

   The installation wizard uninstalls the old version and configures the server database and service.

6. On the Complete dialog, select the Launch the Management Console option and click Finish.

Upgrade Authentication Services Windows components

One Identity recommends that you upgrade your Windows components before you upgrade the Unix components.

The process for upgrading the Authentication Services Windows components from older versions to version 4.1 is similar to the initial installation process. The Authentication Services Windows installer detects older versions and automatically upgrades them. The next time you launch Active Directory Users and Computers, you will see the updated Authentication Services property tabs.

Upgrading VAS 3.5 Windows components

You must install Authentication Services on all Windows Workstations you will use to administer Unix data in Active Directory.

To upgrade the Windows components

1. From the Authentication Services Autorun Setup tab, click Authentication Services to launch the Setup wizard.
2. Click Yes on the Upgrade dialog to indicate you want the wizard to uninstall the previous version of Vintela Authentication Services.

   The Authentication Services Setup Wizard starts automatically.

3. Click Next at the Welcome dialog and follow the wizard prompts.

   The wizard leads you through the following dialogs:

   • License Agreement
   • Choose Destination Location
   • Ready to Install the Program
   • InstallShield Wizard Complete

If you leave the Launch Authentication Services option selected on the InstallShield Wizard Complete dialog, when you click Finish, it detects if you have not configured Authentication Services for Active Directory and starts the Authentication Services Active Directory Configuration Wizard automatically. (Proceed to Configure Active Directory for Authentication Services .)

Upgrading Authentication Services 4.x Windows components

If you had a previous version of the One Identity Identity Manager for Unix web console, upgrade to the Management Console for Unix mangement console to take advantage of the new features.

To upgrade the Authentication Services 4.x Windows components

1. From the Authentication Services Autorun Setup tab, click Authentication Services to launch the Setup wizard.

   The InstallShield Wizard Welcome dialog indicates that a previous installation was found.

2. Click Next at the Welcome dialog and follow the wizard prompts.

   The Setup Status dialog shows the progress of the upgrade:

   • Removing component registrations
   • Installing
   • Updating shortcuts
   • Registering components
3. On the Update Complete dialog, indicate whether you want to restart your computer now or later.

If you choose No, I will restart my computer later, the old version of the Control Center opens; you must restart your computer to complete the upgrade process.
