Operating System Support
All WebMarshal 7.X versions can be installed on Windows Server 2019.
Upgrade/Migration
Note that WebMarshal 7.X is a 64 bit application.
- Upgrade from 7.X to 7.2 is a standard in place upgrade.
- Upgrade from 6.X migrates most settings and files to a new location.
- On upgrade from 6.X, Proxy Cache is cleared if it is configured within the WebMarshal installation location.
- Proxy Cache configured in a separate location (as recommended) is retained and used by 7.X.
- You must install new (64 bit) versions of virus scanners on each processing node and allow engine and signature updates to complete BEFORE upgrading from 6.X to 7.X. Downloading the initial engine and signatures can take up to 15 minutes.
- If you require any WebMarshal services to run as specific accounts, after upgrade you must edit the new services and set the account credentials. By default the new services run under the local system account.
- MarshalFilter and Secure Computing SmartFilter are not available for licensing or installation in this release.
- You MUST remove any references to these items in configuration before upgrading. Services will not start if any references remain.
- For URL filtering, use the Trustwave Web Filter Database (M86 Filter List).
