Using Opt In Upgrade

This page tells how to take advantage of an automatic process for upgrading to a new Delinea Platform tenant from your existing Secret Server Cloud.

Automated Upgrade from Secret Server Cloud to the Platform

The procedure to upgrade Secret Server Cloud to the Delinea Platform depends on whether you are a new customer or a current Secret Server customer.

New Customers

If you are a new Delinea Platform customer, the Platform comes with built-in Secret Server functionality, so you will not need to perform any upgrade steps. You can disregard the rest of the instructions on this page.

Current Secret Server Customers

If you are already a Secret Server administrator, you may be able to opt in to a process that provisions a new Platform tenant upgrade from your Secret Server Cloud instance.

This process automatically upgrades your Secret Server Cloud instance to a new Platform tenant. The upgrade is seamless and harmless to the current operations of your Secret Server Cloud instance.

Once you are in your Platform tenant, all the Secret Server capabilities are provided, including secret lifecycle management, reporting, inbox, and administration.

Existing Secret Server administrators who become Delinea Platform administrators through the "Opt-in" mechanism retain all their existing Secret Server administrator privileges (but gain no new Secret Server privileges) and automatically gain Delinea Platform administrator privileges.

To get started:

  1. Log in to your Secret Server Cloud instance as a tenant administrator with Platform upgrade permissions.

  2. Near the top of the portal, click the New! button.

    Alt

    If you do not see the New! button, you can still provision a Platform tenant by contacting your customer representative or by completing the steps below:
    1. Browse to <tenant>.secretservercloud.com/ConfigurationAdvanced.aspx
    2. Edit the configuration, and set the “Delinea Platform Enablement Code” to BETTERTOGETHER.
    3. Save the configuration.
    4. Go back to the Secret Server home page.
    5. Click the “New!” button at the top near the search bar.
    6. Follow the guide, entering a tenant name and initial admin email address.
    7. Access the tenant through the link in the browser or in the invitation email sent to the initial admin email address.
    8. Set a password for the cloudadmin@<tenant> account.
