I'm halfway through the upgrade process, I've replaced the files and am planning on logging in to the agent side in order to click on the upgrade button. The issue I didn't think about is that I always use LDAP accounts and don't know of any local auth account to log in to the system (I didn't set it up initially). Now I'm in a situation where I think the upgrade is going well, but I can't log in to the system to finish it and reconfigure the LDAP plugin. Is there some way I can create a localauth account on the back end through the filesystem? I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

    Staff table, set backend column value to NULL, and if you don’t have a password already set then you will need to generate one using BCRYPT with 8 round entropy and add that to the passwd column for the relevant staff record.

    Cheers.

        Also, DO NOT forget to replace any plugins you have currently installed with the latest builds from our website before you run the upgrader. If you don’t you’ll have a world of issues post-upgrade.

        Cheers.

          I'm sorry I never got back with an answer on this, this was super helpful info and solved my problem, my ldap auth broke anyway but that was probably my fault, looking to set up oauth authentication for agents if I can eventually get emails working anyway.
