Upgrading from Universal XTACACS Server Ver 1.x =============================================== If you are using Universal XTACACS Server Ver 1.x, Universal Tacacs+ Server Ver 2.01 installation will not overwrite any Ver 1.x files, so after installation you will have both Universal XTACACS Server Ver 1.x and Universal Tacacs+ Server Ver 2.01 in your system. This allows you to test Ver 2.01 first without deleting your existing Ver 1.x system. At any time, you can only run either Ver 1.x or Ver 2.01, but not both. You may convert Ver 1.x user database to Universal Tacacs+ Server format by running the Ver 1.x to Ver 2.01 conversion program "CONVERT.EXE" included in the distribution files. The conversion program will keep the Ver 1.x user database intact, so you can revert to Ver 1.x if you like. Note that you must use the Ver 2.x Accountant for Ver 2.x log files, and Ver 1.x Accountant for Ver 1.x log files. It is not recommended to use the same log file for Ver 1.x and Ver 2.x. After you are satisfied with Ver 2.01, you may delete Ver 1.x from your system by simply deleting the XTACACS directory.
