Update the Identity Service when you update the on-site Creatio instance. The Identity Service archive is provided with the Creatio install file. Before you update the Identity Service on the Creatio application server, update the Creatio instance. Instructions: Update guide.

To update the Identity Service using IIS:

  1. Install additional components.

    .NET 6 Runtime. Download the install file

    .NET 6 Hosting Bundle. Download the install file

  2. Restart the IIS.

  3. Back up the files of the root Identity Service directory to an arbitrary place.

  4. Back up the database connected to the current version of Identity Service. Instructions: Creating database backup.

  5. Stop the application pool of the Identity Service in the IIS.

  7. Extract the IdentityService.zip archive to the Creatio install file directory.

  8. Replace the files in the root Identity Service directory with the unpacked files.

  10. Start the application pool of the Identity Service in the IIS.

  11. Start the website of the Identity Service in the IIS.

  12. Test the Identity Service. To do this, access the [Identity Service URL]/.well-known/openid-configuration URL from the browser.
