SPE 9.2 upgrade requests password for standard authentication when the system being upgraded is configured for AD authentication

Products

• Protection Engine for NAS

Issue/Introduction

Problem Scenario:

- An upgrade from Protection Engine 9.1 to 9.2 is being performed.

- The option to "Upgrade and preserve existing settings, configuration and data" is selected.

- The current Protection Engine configuration is set for AD authentication not Protection Engine-based authentication (basic), but the upgrade dialogue eventually asks for you to enter in a basic authentication password anyway.

Environment

Protection Engine 9.2

Cause

There is a defect in the upgrade UI which will be corrected with a future build of the installation program.

Resolution

For now, enter in a password to satisfy the UI, and continue. After the upgrade is completed the configuration will still be using AD authentication.
