Connector: Uploading a new version of a connector (Workaround)
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
