Upgrade the Provisioning Server

Important! The Provisioning Server uses an instance of CA Directory to communicate with the Provisioning Directory. Be sure to install or upgrade CA Directory on the Provisioning Server system, using the CA Directory component installer, before upgrading the Provisioning Server.

The component CA Directory installer is located on the CA IdentityMinder media, under CADirectory_x64.

The Provisioning Server upgrade includes the C++ Connector Server, and also performs all connector upgrades by default.

Note the following when upgrading the Provisioning Server:

• Before upgrading the Provisioning Server, be sure that inbound requests are completed.  Use View Submitted Tasks to verify these requests are complete.
• Before installing the Provisioning Server, uninstall and reinstall any alternate Provisioning Directories if they exist. For more information, see the Installation Guide.
• If you have more than one Provisioning Server, upgrade the primary first, then upgrade all alternate Provisioning Servers.
