v5.5 (IIS)

Upgrading on IIS

The following process can be run when upgrading any v5.x instance to v5.5 on IIS.

Warning: This release requires you to run the Cinchy Upgrade Utility.Please review and follow the directives for Upgrade 5.5 here.

Additionally,** If you are upgrading from Cinchy v5.1 or lower to Cinchy v5.5, you must first run a mandatory process (Upgrade 5.2)** using the Cinchy Utility and deploy version 5.2. Once complete, you can continue on with your 5.5 upgrade.

If you are upgrading to 5.4+ on an SQL Server Database, you will need to make a change to your connectionString in your SSO and Cinchy appsettings.json. Adding TrustServerCertificate=True will allow you to bypass the certificate chain during validation.

Ex:

"SqlServer" : "Server=MyServer;Database=Cinchy;User ID=cinchy;Password=password;Trusted_Connection=False;Connection Timeout=30;Min Pool Size=10;TrustServerCertificate=True"

Prerequisites

1. Take a backup of your database.

2. Extract the new build for the version you wish to upgrade to.

2. If you are upgrading to 5.5 on an SQL Server Database and didn't do so in any previous updates, you will need to make a change to your connectionString in both your SSO and Cinchy appsettings.json. Adding TrustServerCertificate=True will allow you to bypass the certificate chain during validation.

   Ex:

   "SqlServer" : "Server=MyServer;Database=Cinchy;User ID=cinchy;Password=password;Trusted_Connection=False;Connection Timeout=30;Min Pool Size=10;TrustServerCertificate=True"
