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 Support Portal and transferred to the endpoint, or can be downloaded directly on the endpoint using wget or curl (provided internet access is available on endpoint).

Code Block
languagebash
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
# FlexDeploy 7.0 requires version 7.0 of the https agent.

Info

You may remove the apache-tomcat-flexdeploy-agent-old directory after testing the connection in step 7.

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:

Code Block
<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

Code Block
cd $HTTPS_AGENT_HOME

./StartFlexDeployHttpsAgent.sh
