Methods and systems for dynamic upgrade of an access manager

A system for configuring an access manager, the system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory readable by and coupled with the one or more processors, wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to:
• determine a configuration of first version of an access manager executing on the computing system to protect access to one or more resources, wherein the configuration includes one or more functional settings of the first version of the access manager, and wherein the configuration includes one or more policy parameters that defines authentication for accessing the one or more resources;
• obtain the one or more policy parameters included in the configuration of the first version of the access manager;
• obtain the one or more functional settings included in the configuration of the first version of the access manager;
• generate a configuration of a second version of the access manager to protect access to the one or more resources, wherein generating the configuration of the second version includes:
• modifying the one or more policy parameters for adjustment from the first version to the second version of the access manager;
• and
• modifying the one or more functional settings of the first version for adjustment from the first version to the second version of the access manager;
• configure, based on the generated configuration of the second version of the access manager, the second version of the access manager on the computing system;
• and
• modify execution of the access manager on the computing system from the first version to the second version based on configuring the second version of the access manager.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computing system, causes the computing system to:

• determine a configuration of first version of an access manager executing on the computing system to protect access to one or more resources, wherein the configuration includes one or more functional settings of the first version of the access manager, and wherein the configuration includes one or more policy parameters that defines authentication for accessing the one or more resources;
• obtain the one or more policy parameters included in the configuration of the first version of the access manager;
• obtain the one or more functional settings included in the configuration of the first version of the access manager;
• generate a configuration of a second version of the access manager to protect access to the one or more resources, wherein generating the configuration of the second version includes:
• modifying the one or more policy parameters for adjustment from the first version to the second version of the access manager;
• and
• modifying the one or more functional settings of the first version for adjustment from the first version to the second version of the access manager;
• configure, based on the generated configuration of the second version of the access manager, the second version of the access manager on the computing system;
• and
• modify execution of the access manager on the computing system from the first version to the second version based on configuring the second version of the access manager.
