Vault: Update the Connector Version

Keeping your Vault connectors up to date is essential, as some platform improvements and new features require the latest connector version. Vault is continuously evolving, and administrators are notified by email whenever an update is available or required.

Prerequisites

You must run the following Docker commands on the Linux machine where the Connector is installed before performing the update:

• docker stop $(docker ps -q): Command to stop the containers.

• docker rm $(docker ps -aq): Command to remove the containers.

• docker volume rm vossl: Command to remove the SSL certificate.

Installing the Update

1. Log in to Vault platform.
2. Go to Administration > Connectors. A list of available connectors is displayed.
3. Select a desired connector, click Actions, and then select Install. The Installing Vault Connector pop-up window is displayed.
4. On the installation pop-up window, select the latest version available under Choose a version.
5. You can choose any one of the installation modes:
   • Copy the installation command line from the Execute the following command line in order to install Vault Connector field and paste it on the Linux machine 
   • Click download under download and execute the install file o download the installation script and run the script on the Linux machine prepared to be the connector.
6. Access the linux machine and change to root user by using the sudo su command.
7. After being the root user, paste the command from the platform. This requires an authentication from a local Vault user.
