5.4. Upgrading Password Sync

The Password Sync service cannot be upgraded directly. However, the existing certificates, keys, and configuration can be applied to the new service if the new service is installed before the old one is removed. Then, it is not necessary to reconfigure the service like new; it picks up the information it needs from the registry.
  1. Download the PassSync.msi file from the appropriate Directory Server channel in Red Hat Network and save it to the Active Directory machine.

    NOTE

    There are two PassSync packages available, one for 32-bit Windows servers and one for 64-bit. Make sure to select the appropriate packages for your Windows platform.
  2. Double-click on the PassSync.msi file to install it.
  3. All of the previous information should be included, so click Finish to install the new Password Sync.
    The previous SSL certificates and configuration is also preserved, so it is not necessary to reconfigure SSL.
  4. Open the Add/Remove Programs window.
  5. Select the older version of Password Sync and click the Remove button.

    NOTE

    Check the version numbers to make sure the right Password Sync service is removed.
  6. Reboot the Windows machine to start Password Sync.

    NOTE

    The Windows machine must be rebooted. Without the rebooting, PasswordHook.dll is not enabled, and password synchronization will not function.
