Overall, this is a plug and play update. If you are using stock web templates for the MESSAGE, FILE, WHO, PERSONAL and CHAT clients, there is no other consideration you need to make for this upgrade.

However, if you obtained this update via the AuP or used the CD ugprade option, to use the improved login error flow and display features, you need to do one thing

Open a DOS WINDOW, switch to the wildcat folder and type:

unzip -o wcwebauth

This is not necessary however, it will give you a major new piece which offers the new login error controls.

SPECIAL UPGRADE NOTES (APPLIES TO ALL VERSIONS):

IMPORTANT: Wildcat! JAVA CHAT

The template file "http\template\wcnav.htm" was changed to use a URL "/public/wcnav/wcnav.jar" for the Java CHAT jar file. If you are using the Wildcat! WEB Server Java Chat Module, you need to move the following folder:

HTTP\WCNAV ----> HTTP\PUBLIC\WCNAV

This is required to support the FireFox Browser which will force the user to login again if the original private access only "http\wcnav" folder is used to store the WCNAV.JAR file. It will still work but the FireFox user will be forced to login again. Moving the file to the public folder solves this problem.

Starting with 451.9, updating via the AUP will automatically put the WCNAV.JAR in this new public folder. Also, you may have to upgrade the Sun Java RTE to atleast version 5.
IMPORTANT: Cookie-based Web Authentication.

If you wish to use the new WEB cookie-based authentication features, a new zip file wcWEBAuth.ZIP will be made available in your Wildcat! root folder. If you used the AUP AUTOUPDATE utility to update your system, AUTOUPDATE will send this zip file and stored it in your \wc (installation) directory.  You must manually unzip this file yourself to properly use the new Web Cookie Authentication feature. Example unzip commands:

     cd \wc6
     unzip wcWebAuth

See the wcCONFIG | Web Server | Authentication Options
IMPORTANT: Wildcat! SSL.

If you are using SSL, please make sure you are using the 10/23/2003 dated versions of the following files:

    10/23/2003 843,776 libeay32.dll
    10/23/2003 159,744 ssleay32.dll

If you used the AUP AUTOUPDATE utility to update your system, AUTOUPDATE will send the zip files, OPENSSL.ZIP and WCSSL.ZIP, if newer, and stored them in your \wc (installation) directory.  You must manually unzip these files yourself to obtain the latest SSL files.
IMPORTANT: Remote Wildcat! Clients

If you are have Wildcat! utilities, such as wcNode, wcLocal, wcReport, etc running on remote machines, you need to make sure the following interface DLL files are copied over to the different machines:

WCSRV2.DLL
WCVB.DLL

Otherwise, you may see Version Mismatch popup errors.

IMPORTANT: If you are upgrading from Wildcat! v5.4 or less, please read the change history in AUP v5.5.450.2.
