update-img Update procedure

As a first step and precaution, you should make backups of your existing config files and put them in a safe place.

In the following, LIB refers to the directory containing the jar files for the component, and CONF to the config directory of the existing installation.

It is assumed that you have unpacked the tar.gz file somewhere, e.g. to /tmp/. In the following, this location will be denoted as $NEW:

$ export NEW=/tmp/unicore-authserver-2.5.0

  • Stop the server. If not yet done, make a backup of the config files.

  • Update the jar files:

    $ rm -rf LIB/*
$ cp $NEW/lib/*.jar LIB

  • Check for other changes

While rarely changed, sometimes the XACML policy files are updated for new releases. These can be found in $NEW/conf/xacml2Policies/ If necessary, copy these to your installation:

$ rm -rf conf/xacml2Policies/*
$ cp $NEW/conf/xacml2Policies/* conf/xacml2Policies/

  • Start the server.

  • Check the logs for any ERROR or WARN messages and if necessary correct them.
