Upgrade Webconsole to v7 and configs restore

[katbert 3]

I'm in process of upgrade ERA from 6.5.34.0 to v7

Upgrading Webconsole steps from: https://support.eset.com/KB6925/

• Stop Tomcat service,
• backup 3 configs: .keystore, server.xml and EraWebServerConfig.properties
• uninstall old Tomcat
• install new Webconsole and Tomcat from all-in-one installer v7
• restore 3 configs

I compare configs from backup (which used by Webconsole v 6.5) and new-genegatet configs from Webconsole v7

I see, what server.xml - have only one difference - password to keystore.

So, restoring of server.xml + keystore - restore ONLY self-signed certificate of Webconsole v6. I'm right?

In case you are upgrading from 6.5, only certificate will be different. But when upgrading from older version, there might be other differences, for example configuration of TLS algorithms (enabled are only strongest cipher suites as a security hardening). Technically in case you are using self-signed certificate, there is almost no need to restore configuration ... but it is required specifically for those that are using custom configuration, for example with their own certificate.
