The Nodinite LDAP Web API does not include an installer. You update it manually by following the steps below. We continuously develop the LDAP Adapter, add new features, and fix bugs. Your paid Software Agreement (SA) covers all new releases.

Plan updates as part of your ALM (Application Lifecycle Management) process to ensure smooth operations.

Before you begin

Inform all clients and consumers before you start the update. The process requires a complete stop, resulting in some downtime. Always schedule updates during a planned maintenance window.

Important

Always back up the installation folder before you replace any files!

Update Process Overview

The update follows three sequential steps to ensure a safe and predictable upgrade:

Step 1: Stop Application Pool

Stop the Application Pool for the IIS Application hosting the LDAP Web API.
Use the Internet Information Server (IIS) Manager.

Then, stop the Application Pool:

Installation Folder

  • Replace the files, but do not overwrite the appsettings.json and settings.json files if they already exist from a previous installation.

Important

The appsettings.json and settings.json files are part of the ZIP package. Do not overwrite these on existing installations.

Step 3: Start the Application Pool

After you replace the binaries and review the Configuration, restart the Application Pool in use.
