PingDirectory

Upgrading the server

Use the following steps to upgrade the PingDirectory and PingDirectoryProxy servers.

Before you begin

This task shows the upgrade process for the PingDirectory server as an example.

Steps

  1. Download and extract the new version of the PingDirectory server in a location outside the existing server’s installation.

    For these steps, assume the existing server installation is located in /prod/PingDirectory and the new server version is extracted in the /home/stage/PingDirectory location.

  2. Run the update command provided with the new server package to update the existing PingDirectory server.

    The update tool might prompt for confirmation of the server configuration changes if it detects customization and displays the following code.

    $ /home/staging/PingDirectory/update --serverRoot /prod/PingDirectory
