This section describes how to download and install patches.

Patch Installation

Prerequisites

Download the Kron PAM patch package before starting the installation procedure and check md5sum. Kron PAM installation packages are uploaded to filerepo.krontech.com SFTP Server. The Krontech support team provides credentials and patch filename.

Also, note the following:

  • The following installation procedure restarts Kron PAM components automatically.
  • You must execute the installation procedure with root privilege.

Installing the Patch

After downloading the upgrade package from filerepo.krontech.com and checking md5sum:

  1. Extract the Kron PAM Upgrade Package by using the following command: [root@localhost Downloads]# tar xvf patch_xxx.tgz
  • List extracted files. [root@localhost Downloads]# ls -ltr -rwxr-xr-x. 1 polkitd polkitd  22264 Apr 23 23:54 update.sh drwxr-xr-x. 2 polkitd polkitd  67 Apr 24 00:13 update 
  • Execute the update.sh script. The patch script checks the current status of components and the current version of Kron PAM, prompts available updates, and displays three installation options.
  • [root@localhost Downloads]# ./update.sh

Select the correct option (see the following table), and then press Enter.
