Updating User Sites with the Update Configuration Tool

If you want to give users a new site configuration without giving them a whole new package, you can use the Update Configuration tool. This tool replaces user's site configurations found in the trac.config file with a new trac.config file that you give them. It maintains user data from the old file and transfers it to the new configuration file.

The Update Configuration tool is part of the installation package (update_config_tool.exe) and therefore it can run on users' machines to make changes to their site configurations. You must supply them with the updated trac.config file and a way for them to install it that replaces their old trac.config file. For example, give users a script that they can run easily that will replace the old file with the new file.

Important - The client version in the Administrator's computer must be the same as the version on the user's computer.

The workflow necessary to use the Update Configuration tool has two steps.

1. The administrator creates an updated trac.config file on his or her computer.

2. The administrator gives users the updated trac.config file and a way for them to easily install it on their computers, for example, a script. The script, or other method that you use, must do the steps described in Using the Update Configuration Tool.

If a user has sites that are not in the new configuration, those sites are deleted.

You can use the same trac.config file for Endpoint Security VPN, Check Point Mobile for Windows, and SecuRemote.
