The HTTPS_AGENT_HOME variable referenced here is the installation directory of the agent, which contains the apache-tomcat-flexdeploy-https-agent and config folders as well as the start and stop scripts.

Step 1

...

- Stop the Agent

Linux

cd $AGENT$HTTPS_AGENT_HOME

./StopFlexDeployHttpsAgent.sh

Windows

cd %AGENT%HTTPS_AGENT_HOME%

StopFlexDeployHttpsAgent.bat

Step 2

...

- Download HTTPS Agent software

Download and unzip the latest version of the agent into a temporary location (for example, /u01/software/temp/agent), so it can be accessed during the upgrade process.

The agent software can be downloaded from the Flexagon website and transferred to the endpoint, or can be downloaded directly on the endpoint using wget or curl (provided internet access is available on endpoint).

Linux

HTTPS_AGENT_TEMP=/u01/software/temp/agent     (you may change this to any directory, but don't use HTTPS_AGENT_HOME or anything inside HTTPS_AGENT_HOME)
mkdir -p ${HTTPS_AGENT_TEMP}
cd ${HTTPS_AGENT_TEMP}

# DOWNLOAD either using wget or curl or transfer here manually
wget -O HttpsAgentTomcatComplete.zip
# For FlexDeploy 6.5, please use the 6.5 version of the agent.
# A newer version may be available, see https://support.flexagon.com/downloads/httpsagenta/solutions/articles/5000880644 for the latest download link.
wget -O HttpsAgentTomcatComplete.zip <link from support site>
# ORor
curl -L --max-redirs 5 https://flexagon.com/downloads/httpsagent <link from support site> --output HttpsAgentTomcatComplete.zip

unzip HttpsAgentTomcatComplete.zip

...

set HTTPS_AGENT_TEMP=c:\u01\software\temp\agent
mkdir %AGENT%HTTPS_AGENT_TEMP%     (you may change this to any directory, but don't use HTTPS_AGENT_HOME)
cd %AGENT%HTTPS_AGENT_TEMP%
# Download https://flexagon.com/downloads/httpsagent in HTTPS_AGENT_TEMP folder
unzip HttpsAgentTomcatComplete.zip

Step 3

...

- Backup Current Installation

Backup the current apache-tomcat-flexdeploy-https-agent folder. This will be used to reference the existing configuration.

Linux

cd $AGENT$HTTPS_AGENT_HOME
mv apache-tomcat-flexdeploy-https-agent apache-tomcat-flexdeploy-https-agent-old

Windows

cd %AGENT%HTTPS_AGENT_HOME%
rename apache-tomcat-flexdeploy-https-agent apache-tomcat-flexdeploy-https-agent-old

Step 4

...

- Apply new version

Copy the apache-tomcat-flexdeploy-https-agent folder from the download.

Linux

cd $AGENT$HTTPS_AGENT_HOME

cp -r ${HTTPS_AGENT_TEMP}/apache-tomcat-flexdeploy-https-agent .

Windows

cd %AGENT%HTTPS_AGENT_HOME%

mkdir apache-tomcat-flexdeploy-https-agent
xcopy %AGENT%HTTPS_AGENT_TEMP%\apache-tomcat-flexdeploy-https-agent apache-tomcat-flexdeploy-https-agent /s

Step 5

...

- Apply old configuration

Apply the old configuration from the backup.

Linux

cd $AGENT$HTTPS_AGENT_HOME

cp apache-tomcat-flexdeploy-https-agent-old/conf/server.xml apache-tomcat-flexdeploy-https-agent/conf/server.xml
cp apache-tomcat-flexdeploy-https-agent-old/conf/tomcat-users.xml apache-tomcat-flexdeploy-https-agent/conf/tomcat-users.xml

Windows

cd %AGENT%HTTPS_AGENT_HOME%

copy apache-tomcat-flexdeploy-https-agent-old/conf/server.xml apache-tomcat-flexdeploy-https-agent/conf/server.xml
copy apache-tomcat-flexdeploy-https-agent-old/conf/tomcat-users.xml apache-tomcat-flexdeploy-https-agent/conf/tomcat-users.xml

Step 5.1 - Adjust server.xml

Beginning with Agent version 6.5.0.8 we will be shipping a server.xml change that only allows TLS 1.2. Since the old server.xml was copied from the previous install we recommend you make this change as well.

You will need to change the sslProtocol to be TLSv1.2 instead of just TLS. Here’s what the change will look like in the connector:

<Connector port="8444" protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"
            maxThreads="150" secure="true"
            clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLSv1.2" SSLEnabled="true"
            keystoreFile="../config/tomcat.jks" keystorePass="*PASSWORD_HERE*">
        </Connector>

Step 6 - Start Agent

Linux

cd $AGENT$HTTPS_AGENT_HOME

./StartFlexDeployHttpsAgent.sh

Windows

cd %AGENT%HTTPS_AGENT_HOME%

StartFlexDeployHttpsAgent.bat

Step 7

...
