New Features
EBS Plugin version 2.3.2 introduces a new feature where user will not need to specify the source apps schema password in EBS DB hooks provision wizard. This password can now be pulled from a text file present on the target DB host which will be created automatically during DBTechStack provisioning.
Plugin Installation
Plugins to support EBS virtualization are not automatically included in the Virtualization Engine deployment and can be installed by the end-user after uploading the plugin through the Manage > Plugin screen.

Key points
- Plugin 2.3.2 is a patch release that will support EBS-597 Delphix Hooks Password-Storing Apps password to file for EBS appsTier.
- Plugin 2.3.2 also will continue to support sudo privileges for virtualizing EBS appsTier only for EBS 12.1 customers.
- Customers can skip a patch plugin release upgrade if they intend to upgrade their plugin to a higher version. The Delphix Engine ignores patch versions when handling plugin upgrade logic. It only validates the major/minor plugin version during the plugin upgrade.
