Abstract
Described is a system for preventing unauthorized access to an upgrade implementation module while an authentication-authorization service is offline. Various embodiments of the upgrade implementation module record an upgrade token generated by a system manager. The upgrade implementation module sets an authentication-authorization service to an offline mode. The upgrade implementation module determines a match between a received upgrade token and the recorded upgrade token in order to prevent unauthorized access of the upgrade implementation module. In response to determining the match, the upgrade implementation module authorizes implementation of an upgrade package associated with the upgrade token while the authentication-authorization service is in the offline mode.
