You can check the RPM versions you currently have installed, to see if they need to be updated, by entering:

apigee-all version

To update your installation, perform the following procedure on the Edge nodes:

On all Edge nodes:
1. Clean the Yum repos:
```
sudo yum clean all
```
2. Download the latest Edge 4.50.00 bootstrap_4.50.00.sh file to /tmp/bootstrap_4.50.00.sh:
```
curl https://software.apigee.com/bootstrap_4.50.00.sh -o /tmp/bootstrap_4.50.00.sh
```
3. Install the Edge 4.50.00 apigee-service utility and dependencies:
```
sudo bash /tmp/bootstrap_4.50.00.sh apigeeuser=uName apigeepassword=pWord
```
  where uName:pWord are the username and password you received from Apigee. If you omit pWord, you will be prompted to enter it.
4. Update the apigee-setup utility:
```
sudo /opt/apigee/apigee-service/bin/apigee-service apigee-setup update
```
5. Update the apigee-lib utility:
```
sudo /opt/apigee/apigee-service/bin/apigee-service apigee-lib update
```
6. Use the source command to execute the apigee-service.sh script:
```
source /etc/profile.d/apigee-service.sh
```

Update the apigee-validate utility on the Management Server:

/opt/apigee/apigee-service/bin/apigee-service apigee-validate update

Update the apigee-adminapi utility:

/opt/apigee/apigee-service/bin/apigee-service apigee-adminapi update

Update apigee-machinekey utility:

/opt/apigee/apigee-service/bin/apigee-service apigee-machinekey update

Update apigee-config util:

/opt/apigee/apigee-service/bin/apigee-service apigee-configutil update

Update all Cassandra nodes:
```
/opt/apigee/apigee-setup/bin/update.sh -c cs -f configFile
```
where configFile specifies the configuration file that you used to install Apigee Edge for Private Cloud. For example, /opt/silent.conf.
On all Edge nodes, execute the update.sh script for the edge process:
```
/opt/apigee/apigee-setup/bin/update.sh -c edge -f configFile
```

Execute the update.sh script for SSO on all nodes:

/opt/apigee/apigee-setup/bin/update.sh -c sso -f configFile

Execute the update.sh script for the UI on all nodes:

/opt/apigee/apigee-setup/bin/update.sh -c ui -f configFile

If you are using the New Edge experience, execute the following command:
```
/opt/apigee/apigee-setup/bin/update.sh -c ue -f configFile
```
If you are using Apigee mTLS, follow the procedure described in Upgrade Apigee mTLS. For more information, see Introduction to Apigee mTLS.

Changes to supported software

There are no changes to the supported software in this release.

Deprecations and retirements

There are no new deprecations or retirements in this release.

New features

This release introduces the following new features:

New wrapper around the nodetool repair tool

The wrapper does a sanity check on disk space (where Cassandra is mounted) before running the nodetool repair. The wrapper also supports JMX authentication and SSL over JMX related configurations.

Added support in the LDAP policy for dynamic string substitution for the <BaseDN> element.

The LDAP policy's <BaseDN> element specifies the base level of LDAP under which all of your data exists. In this release, we have added a ref attribute to the element, which you can use to specify a flow variable containing the <BaseDN> value, such as apigee.baseDN. ref takes precedence over an explicit BaseDN value. If you specify both ref and value, ref has priority. If ref does not resolve at runtime, value is used.

Security issues fixed

The following is a list of known security issues that have been fixed in this release. To avoid these issues, install the latest version of Edge Private Cloud.

Issue ID	Description
N/A	Passwords were being logged in Edge for Private Cloud, due to normal logging of configuration file delta changes. You can prevent logging of configuration changes as follows: If an Edge component is already installed, do either of the following steps: Set `LOGGER_PRINT_CONFIG_DELTA=false` as an environment variable. This stops configuration delta logging for all components on that node. To stop configuration delta logging for specific components, add `logger.print.config.delta=false` to the customer-specific configuration file for that component. This stops logging of configuration changes for that component. See How to configue Edge for more information. If you are installing an Edge component, you can prevent logging of configuration changes by adding the following entry to the `silent.conf` file: CONFIG_DELTA_LOG=n This configures the component not to log configuration changes.
N/A	Improved security of passwords and related data stored in the platform.
CVE-2015-9251	Cross-site Scripting (XSS) is fixed when a cross-domain Ajax request is performed without the dataType option in jQuery.
N/A	Added additional protections against SAML assertion replay attacks.
