====== Connector: Uploading a new version of a connector (Workaround) ======
{{tag>connector upgrade update 1.3.4.3 1.3.4.11}}

There is no straightforward way of how to replace a connector. This workaround works:

When upgrading AD connector from 1.3.4.3 to 1.3.4.11 without losing properties, you can:

  * Replace the connector in Tomcat deploy, restart
  * Refresh the browser by Ctrl+F5 (this is necessary for refreshing the set of connectors)
  * For every system connected by AD connector:
      * Go to Configuration, select the AD connector. Ignore the warning about losing current configuration; if you don't close the page, the configuration will stay.
      * Fill in "Principal password" again (this attribute gets lost during update)
      * Click "Test connector" or "Save" before you close the page.

More workaround:

When I upgrade IDM from 12.2.2 on 12.2.9, AD connector from 1.3.4.27 to 1.3.5.1, extras from 3.6.0. to 3.9.0. and update OS, I just:

  * After all upgrades sync and reboot applinace
  * Refresh the browser
  * Check the current version of ADConnector - System -> Connector servers
  * Go Settings -> Form definitions -> search "ADConnector" -> for every selected system go to detail and in Code at the end, overwrite on new version and save
  * Go Systems -> for every system connected by AD connector -> Detail -> Configuration -> Ignore the error -> select your AD connector type -> check that your configuration has loaded properly -> save -> test
