- Confirm the relevant Installer has updated by navigating to: https://ServerAddress/InstallerVersions.php
Note: The App Control Server will
require full validation of the certificates associated with the Agent/Rule Installers. If the application server cannot complete this validation,
follow the process here.
Additional Notes
- Updating the Agent/Rule Installers will require restarting of the App Control Server service. During this process access to the Console will temporarily be unavailable.
- Do not navigate away from the Update Agent/Rule Versions page while uploads are processing.
- If using Unified Management to manage multiple App Control Servers: New Rule and Agent Installers must be uploaded to each server separately. The Management Server does not broadcast these packages to the Managed Servers.
