Automatic Update upon First Connection to Updated Charon Host System

(info) New feature in Charon-SSP 4.0.x.

If you connect to a Charon host system using an older version of the Charon Manager than the one used on the host system, you will be offered an automatic update to the version of the Charon host system.

The following image shows a sample:

Confirm the upgrade by clicking on Yes. This will initiate the download and installation of the new version. If you work as a non-privileged user, you will be prompted for your password. To decline the automatic update, click on Cancel.

(info) This mechanism also works for downgrades (i.e., if the Charon Manager version is newer than the version of the Charon host system it connects to, it can be automatically downgraded to the version of the target system).

(info) Some future major changes in the Charon Manager and/or Agent may prevent the automatic upgrade. In such cases, follow the manual package installation steps.
