Hi,
I'm planning to patch our RSA authentication manager from version 8.3 to 8.4 patch 7.
So while I downloading the patches, i saw there are two options.
Can you let me know the difference between the two?
RSA Authentication Manager 8.4 Patch 6 - Web Tier Server Download
RSA Authentication Manager 8.4 Patch 6 - Update Download
The RSA Authentication Manager 8.4 Patch 6 - Web Tier Server Download is applied to your web tier, if you are using one. This RSA Authentication Manager 8.4 web tier version includes changes that resolve several security vulnerabilities related to Oracle WebLogic used by the web tier. For more information, please see the RSA Authentication Manager 8.4 Patch 6 Web-Tier Readme.
The RSA Authentication Manager 8.4 Patch 6 - Update Download is applied to the RSA Authentication Manager server. The RSA Authentication Manager 8.4 Patch 6 Readme explains that RSA Authentication Manager 8.4 Patch 6 includes all new features and enhancements introduced in all RSA Authentication Manager 8.4 and RSA Authentication Manager 8.3 patches and also outlines the new features and enhancements included in Patch 6.
Regards,
Erica
Thanks Erica for your help.
One more question though, do you know how I can confirm that the port 8443/tcp is open? Cos it’s one of the pre-requisites before installing the patch.
After the initial upload and preparation of the update file are complete, the actual update begins. When that happens, 443 is closed and a new window (or tab, depending on your browser settings) is opened on 8443 to report the ongoing status of the update back to your browser. If 8443 is not open, the update will still continue to completion, but you won't be able to watch in your browser.
If not able to view the log on the Operations Console....
on command line you can watch the patch progress...
(once the patch uploads and prepares itself, it will fire a new log 'update-blahblahblah'
when it actually starts to make system changes)
/opt/rsa/am/server/logs will have a new file called
update-8.4.0.9.0-build1411115-20200107093203.log (your numbers will be different though)
you can then
tail -f update-8.4.0.9.0-build1411115-20200107093203.log
and watch the patch progress
