nevisAppliance 2.201911.726 LTS - 15.10.2020​

Issue with automatic start of Nevis components

Who is affected?​

  • Customers that used nevisAdmin 3 (or inst createcommands) to set up instances.
  • NOT affected: nevisAdmin 4 customers.

What is the problem?​

  • Since the last nevisAppliance 2.201911.718 LTS release (in August 2020), some Nevis components were not automatically started after the nevisAppliance reboot.
  • Older LTS releases are not affected.

Installation steps​

  1. Install the hot fix release 2.201911.726 LTS.

Background​

A change in the August 2020 LTS update release is responsible for the automatic start problem. In the release notes of the August release, this change was marked as "FIXED: The issue regarding the boot order and the configuration of custom init.d scripts.".

This change accidentally removed the automatic startup of container-based setups, such as instances that are started as part of adnglassfish, adnwildfly or adnjboss. Also, standalone instances disabled in systemd were not started anymore after reboot.

With this LTS hotfix release of the nevisAppliance, this change has been completely reverted to keep stability on the LTS branch. An improved version of the boot order fix is now included in the RR branch only.

Discouraged

The use of adnwildfly as deployment container is discouraged. Consider migrating your adnwildfly based instances to the standalone container deployment if possible.

  • FIXED: The issue with the missing neviswf command on PATH. The command is now available.
  • UPGRADED: The CentOS operating system has been upgraded to the latest available versions.

nevisAppliance 2.201911.427 LTS - 26.11.2019​

Initial Long Term Support Release

Highlights

We are pleased to present the Nevis Cluster 2.201911.427 LTS release. This is the first Nevis release covered by an extensive long-term-support plan, as detailed in the Nevis Product Lifetime and Platform Support Matrix. The LTS (long-term-support) releases focus on stability and will fix defects and security issues while avoiding major, potentially breaking changes.

This release ships, among many bug fixes and product improvements, with the following highlights:

  • Performance improvements and faster recovery in the nevisProxy MariaDB session store, leading to a better user experience during infrastructure failovers.
  • Support of TLS 1.3, the new and most secure version of the TLS protocol in nevisProxy (requires at least nevisAppliance, RHEL 7 and SLES12 only).
  • Full support for OAuth 2.0 token introspection endpoints (RFC 7662).
  • Protect your services with terms and conditions, using the new feature available in nevisIDM.
  • Starting with this release, nevisIDM fully supports the latest long-term release of Oracle: Oracle 19c.
  • Performance and stability improvements in nevisAdmin 4 when working with large deployments.
  • PREVIEW Experimental support of highly automated Kubernetes deployments in nevisAdmin 4.
  • … and much much more.

Upgrade notes

  • This version of the nevisAppliance ships with the nevisProxy version for RHEL7, with the latest Mod Security and OpenSSL 1.1. Carefully read the nevisProxy release notes for details and backwards compatibility. There are known incompatibilities with old Mod Security rules and CA trust chains which are not created with the proper CA:TRUE flag. You can check old versions of nevisAdmin 3 used to create CA certificates without that flag on the nevisAdmin 3 host if you are affected and need to rotate all certificates signed by this CA:
openssl x509 -text -in /var/opt/nevisadmin/default/nevisadmin/repository/cert/ca_certificate.pem \
 | grep "CA:TRUE"
# OK: CA:TRUE
# NOK: (no output)

If there is no output, this CA is no longer readable by nevisProxy and all certificates must be rotated. See the nevisAdmin 3 release notes and reference guide for detailed instructions.

  • Carefully read the nevisIDM, nevisAuth and nevisAdmin 4 release notes for additional backward incompatibilities.

Resolved issues

  • UPGRADED: The Linux kernel and system libraries to the latest available versions.
  • CHANGED: The value for kernel.pid_max parameter in /etc/sysctl.conf was increased to 65534. This increases the ability to work on systems with lots of resources and to perform under heavy load. Otherwise, errors like -bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory were displayed. It addresses an issue known to RedHat and described at `http://access.redhat.com/solutions/1434943. (NEVIS-5791, NEVISAPPLIANCE-430)
  • FIXED: OpenJDK support for nevisAuth and nevisIDM when rendering images or documents, like captchas. Previously, errors like libfreetype.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory occurred on the Base and DMZ nevisAppliance when using OpenJDK. This was fixed by ensuring the fontconfig packages are always installed. (NEVISAPPLIANCE-425)
