How to Prepare for a Web Agent Upgrade
78 Web Agent Installation Guide
Password Services and Forms Template Changes During Upgrades
For Password Services and forms templates, the jpw_default, pw_default, and
samples_default directories are upgraded. However the non-default versions of
these directories (jpw, pw, and samples), which may contain customized files,
will not be modified in any way.
Results of Running the Configuration Wizard After an Upgrade
When you run the Web Agent Configuration Wizard after upgrading the Web
Agent, the following occurs:
■
SiteMinder saves a copy of the current Web Agent configuration file
(WebAgent.conf).
■
SiteMinder moves the IgnoreExt and BadURLCharacters lines into the new
WebAgent.conf file as commented lines, so that you can easily add your
custom elements.
Note: SiteMinder does not save a copy of the Trusted Host configuration file
(SmHost.conf).
Ensure LD_PRELOAD Variable Does Not Conflict with Existing Agent
If you are upgrading or reinstalling a Web Agent on a Linux system, from the
shell, set the LD_PRELOAD variable so that it points to a different location from
any existing Web Agent installation directory. For example, if an existing
LD_PRELOAD entry is set to:
LD_PRELOAD=web_agent_home/bin/libbtunicode.so
Before you reinstall or upgrade, set the variable to:
export LD_PRELOAD=
This entry sets the variable to a blank value.
Replace Existing Read-only Files
When you upgrade a Web Agent, you may see messages asking whether you
want to replace read-only files. Select Yes to all.
