# Upgrading instructions

## Steps

1. From the distribution package, copy the file `dist/pf-authenticator-x.jar` to the Atlassian library directory:

   ### Choose from:

   * For Confluence: `<Atlassian Installation Directory>/Confluence/confluence/WEB-INF/lib`

   * For Jira: `<Atlassian Installation Directory>/Jira/atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/lib`

   If installing to Jira, follow the steps outlined in [Configuring Jira](pf_atlassian_ik_configuring_jira.html).

2. Restart the Atlassian platform and attempt single sigh-on (SSO) as an administrator.

3. Within the Atlassian platform, remove the old plugin from **Manage add-ons** and install the new plugin from the distribution `.zip` `dist/pf-authenticator-plugin-x.jar`.

4. Go to the plugin configuration page, http\[s]://*atlassian\_hostname*:*atlassian\_port*/plugins/servlet/ping/config, to ensure it displays the existing configuration correctly.

5. For Jira, if you customized your `login.jsp` file, back up your changes. Deploy the latest `login.jsp` file from the Atlassian Integration Kit, and then modify it with your customizations.
