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
