Upgrade

New updates for the PassMan password manager come out regularly. They bring new functions on the one hand, and important security fixes on the other.

How you update depends on how PassMan is installed (single node or cluster).

Single node and cluster

PassMan is built from three components, which usually have to be updated in this order:

  1. Padmin update - on a single node, through the Padmin interface, by uploading the update file. In a cluster, through the Padmin interface, or for a major version update, with a rolling upgrade.
  2. Operating system (OS) update - on a single node, through the Padmin interface, by uploading the update file. In a cluster, by joining a new node (rolling upgrade).
  3. PassMan update - on a single node, through the Padmin interface, by uploading the update file. In a cluster, through the Padmin interface, or for a major version update, with a rolling upgrade.

The update on the Padmin interface is described in detail here: Update.

Cluster OS update

In cluster mode, the OS update is done with the rolling upgrade method. It is described in detail here: Rolling upgrade.

Before updating, check whether the current update has special requirements. You can check this on the PassMan versions page. A warning icon next to the update file tells you about it.
