Upgrading and Maintenance

The upgrading of your IdP should be much simpler now you are using the V3.

AAF suggested reading the release note first. This may have the important information that you need to perform during the upgrade.

Once you are ready to upgrade, run the upgrade in test environment first to make sure that it won’t cause any issues before running in the production environment.

To upgrade the current version, run the update script with –u option, which will update the configurations and underlying software packages eg: jetty if required.

update_idp.sh –u

Testing

Use the AAF attribute validator to test your attributes and verify the attribute values.

Once you are happy with your test IdP, run the upgrade in the production server.
