Applications are services (e.g. VPN or web application) that you want to protect with LoginTC. They allow you to reuse the same LoginTC tokens for a particular Domain across multiple services with their own policies. Policies can only be used with Applicaitons and allow for administrators to specify rules to be applied to groups of users during authentication. This guide will help understand how to upgrade your LoginTC Connectors to take advantage of Applications and Policies.
Upgrading is meant to be seamless and controlled so that your users are not impacted. Users do not need to reload tokens, the change to use Applications will be seamless for your users.
Create an ApplicationBefore upgrading your connectors is a good idea to create an Application. See Creating an Application in the Applications Guide for step-by-step instructions on how to create an Application.
LoginTC RADIUS ConnectorUpgrade your LoginTC RADIUS Connector to version 3.0.4+ to get the benefit of Applications and Policies.
Upgrading your configurations to use Applications is a two step process. The first step of upgrading the LoginTC RADIUS Connector to version 3.0.4+ will not impact your existing configurations. Configurations must be upgraded individually from the administrative interface before Applications and Policies can be used. Until individual configurations are upgraded, Domain configured configurations work as usual.
When upgrading configurations that are using the Iframe Authentication mode, the corresponding snippet will also need to be updated please see:

The LoginTC RADIUS Connector 2.X virtual appliance is built with CentOS 6.8. CentOS 6.X is End of Lifetime (EOL) November 30th, 2020. See CentOS Product Specifications. Although the appliance will still function it will no longer receive updates and nor will it be officially supported.
A new LoginTC RADIUS Connector 3.X virtual appliance has been created which runs CentOS 7.7.1908. It is virtually identical to the existing appliance, with the exception of the underlying operating system. Inline upgrade from CentOS 6.X to CentOS 7.X is not supported. As a result upgrade is deploying a new appliance. A migration script has been created to help quickly copy over existing configurations and ssl certificates to the new appliance and minimize manual steps.
