Centero Software Manager 2.0.5001 is the biggest update of CSM so far, and there are few things to be taken into account. This update changes the login method from previous username and password combination to more safe ID and key combination. Because of the change, you need to login to CSM after the update. You also have to re-login with your CSM service account. See these instructions for more details.
Before updating:
- Follow these instructions to find ID and key for your environment
- Check the name of your CSM service account and make sure you have access to its password
- If you are restricting internet access from CSM server, you need to allow outbound access to gw-eu.software-manager.com (TCP/443) and centerofileshares.file.core.windows.net (TCP/443)
