Upgrading the agent
IMPORTANT: Upgrade using msi does not work if you have previously installed the agent via exe. You need to take a manual backup of the configuration, uninstall the agent, install it again via msi, and then apply your previous configuration.
While upgrading the agent, it is recommended to use the latest agent file. After the upgrade, to perform offline authentication, the users must perform at least one successful online authentication.
The latest version of SafeNet Agent for Windows Logon supports upgrade from 3.4.x (and above). To upgrade, run the following command and select appropriate options when prompted.
msiexec /i "SafeNet Authentication Service Agent for Win 8-10-2012-2016 x64.msi" JSONFILEPATH="<PathToAgentFile>" /qf REINSTALLMODE=vomus REINSTALL=ALL
For example, msiexec /i "SafeNet Authentication Service Agent for Win 8-10-2012-2016 x64.msi" /qf REINSTALLMODE=vomus REINSTALL=ALL JSONFILEPATH=".\wla-config.agent"
Silent Upgrade
To upgrade the agent silently, execute the following command from the command line:
msiexec /i "SafeNet Authentication Service Agent for Win 8-10-2012-2016 x64.msi" JSONFILEPATH="<PathToAgentFile>" /quiet REINSTALLMODE=vomus REINSTALL=ALL
Note
-
While upgrading the agent from versions earlier than 3.6.0, the Off-line authentication parameter and the logon policies are not transferred.
-
While deploying the upgraded agent via Intune or GPO, push the registry values, obtained from updated .agent file as a registry setting (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CRYPTOCard\AuthGINA).
