1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Identity Connect, and then select **Identity Connect**.
2. Download and unzip Identity Connect 7.1.6.
3. Stop the Identity Connect 7.1.X instance. On Windows, use the standard Windows utility or type `-> shutdown`. For Bash, use `path/to/salesforceIdConnect-3/shutdown.sh`.
4. Copy these configuration files from the conf directory of the extracted Identity Connect 7.1.6 installation to the conf directory of your Identity Connect 7.1.X installation.
    
    - authentication.json
    - managed.json
    - repo.jdbc.json
    - internal.jsonrepo.init.json
    - jetty.xml
    
    ```
    cp /path/to/salesforceIdConnect-715/conf/managed.json /path/to/salesforceIdConnect-7/conf/
    ```
5. Replace the Identity Connect 7.1.6 conf directory with the Identity Connect 7.1.X conf directory.
    
    ```
    cp -r /path/to/salesforceIdConnect-71X/conf /path/to/salesforceIdConnect-715/
    ```
    
    Your Identity Connect 7.1.X configuration is now copied to your new Identity Connect 7.1.6 instance, with new versions of the required configuration files.
6. Copy the security files from your Identity Connect 7.1.X installation to your Identity Connect 7.1.6 installation.
    
    ```
    cp -r /path/to/salesforceIdConnect-71X/security /path/to/salesforceIdConnect-715/
    ```
7. Copy the startup configuration from your Identity Connect 7.1.X installation to your Identity Connect 7.1.6 installation.
    
    ```
    cp -r /path/to/salesforceIdConnect-71X/resolver /path/to/salesforceIdConnect-715/
    ```
8. Copy the data from your Identity Connect 7.1.X installation to your Identity Connect 7.1.6 installation.
    
    ```
    cp -r /path/to/salesforceIdConnect-71X/db /path/to/salesforceIdConnect-715/
    ```
9. Start up Identity Connect 7.1.6. You can start Identity Connect as a Windows service, or use one of these commands.

    2. For Bash, use `/path/to/salesforceIdConnect-715/startup.sh`.
