Updating the Nodinite LDAP Web API

This guide teaches how to Update the LDAP Web API.

The Nodinite LDAP Web API has no installer. Hence, you must perform a manual update following the steps outlined on this page.

Stay up to date - The LDAP Adapter is a software product under constant development. From time to time, we add new features and bug fixes.New releases are available, and the usage is covered by your paid SA (Software Agreement).

We strongly recommend that you plan for future updates in the context of your existing ALM process.

Before you begin

Please make sure to inform client/consumers prior to the update. The update process requires a complete stop and you will have some downtime. Make sure to perform the update during a planned maintenance window.

Important

REMEMBER TO MAKE A BACKUP OF THE INSTALLATION FOLDER BEFORE YOU REPLACE ANY FILES!!!!

Step 1: Stop Application Pool

The first step is to stop the Application Pool for the IIS Application hosting the LDAP Web API.
Use the Internet Information Server (IIS) Manager.

inetmgr.msc

Then, stop the Application Pool:

Use the IIS MMC to stop the Application Pool.
