To upgrade the VMware Identity Manager connector, you download the installer for the new version from My VMware or My Workspace ONE and run the installer. You do not need to uninstall the old version.

After upgrade, you do not need to generate a new activation code for the VMware Identity Manager connector or activate it again. Your existing configuration applies to the upgraded connector.

Procedure

  1. Download the VMware Identity Manager Connector Installer for Windows from My VMware or My Workspace ONE.
    To obtain the installer from My VMware:
    1. Log in to My VMware.
    2. Download the VMware Identity Manager Connector Installer for Windows from the VMware Identity Manager download page.
  2. Save the installer file on the same Windows server on which the earlier version of the connector is installed.
  3. Run the installer and follow the prompts to complete the upgrade.
    Note: During upgrade, if the installer detects a lower version of JRE on the Windows server than the one packaged with the installer, you are prompted to install the new JRE version.
  4. If JRE is upgraded during the connector upgrade, reboot the Windows server after the upgrade is complete.
    Rebooting the server sets the JAVA_HOME variable to the latest JRE that is installed with the upgrade, enabling the connector to use the latest JRE.
