FIXED: Potential performance issues related to getting generic credentials have been resolved. (NEVISIDM-9295)
FIXED: Corrected issues with pagination of FIDO UAF credentials. (NEVISIDM-9315)
FIXED: In Kubernetes, IDM now saves Asynchronous Email Sending into the persistent event queue. Previously, IDM with with OracleSQL or PostgreSQL database did not save it into the persistent event queue, making Asynchronous Email Sending impossible. (NEVISIDM-9476)
CHANGED: Refactored dataroom handling to use separate dataroom test in SQL instead of summarizing them. (NEVISIDM-9408)
CHANGED: Refactored JMS Bridge to use its internal status to check for potential disconnetcions, thus provide improved stability. (NEVISIDM-9319)
CHANGED: Refactored the way IDM retrieves data from the persistent queue. (NEVISIDM-9502)

UPGRADED: Extended CredentialGetDto classes with the following 9 credential types: Ticket, Otp, TempStringPassword, Vasco, PUK, DevicePassword, MobileSignature, SamlFederaion, SecurityQuestions. They can be queried with the new endpoint {userExtId}/credentials in User REST service. (NEVISIDM-9479)
FIXED: JMS bridge feature refactored to avoid high resource consumption in case the bridge target is not enough stable. (NEVISIDM-9319)
- Bridge status added to health endpoint.
  - The health endpoint counts the unsuccessful restart attempts and indicates as down if it reaches 10, otherwise as up
  - The successful reconnection to bridge target resets the health endpoint counter
- New configuration properties introduced:
  - messaging.bridge.failure.retry.interval: passed to org.apache.activemq.artemis.jms.bridge.impl.JMSBridgeImpl as failureRetryInterval property; by default 10000
  - messaging.bridge.max.retries.on.failure: passed to ~"~.JMSBridgeImpl as maxRetries property; by default 6
- Before this refactor the maxRetries property was hardcoded with value -1 and failureRetryInterval as 1000.
  - This means it tried to reconnect for each one second infinitely and a reinitalizer algorithm tried to stop the bridge and re-instantiate
  - Unfortunately, the previous bridge instances didn't shut down properly, so a lot of memory and other resources were not freed up
- The current implementation instantiates the bridge only once.
  - In case the bridge lost its running state (based on the newly introduced configurations) the IDM tries to start back
  - The mentioned health endpoint counts these restart attempts
NEW: You can configure external JMS server for provisioning instead of using embedded Artemis server and JMS bridging. (NEVISIDM-9474)
- If you configure external JMS server, the embedded Artemis instance will not be started.
- New configuration properties introduced:
  - application.modules.provisioning.connection.factory.classname: connection factory class name; e.g. org.apache.activemq.artemis.jms.client.ActiveMQXAConnectionFactory
  - application.modules.provisioning.connection.factory.xa.properties: initialization properties for previous factory class; e.g. {"brokerURL": "https://artemis-server:61616", "user": "producer", "password": "secret"}
  - application.modules.provisioning.destination.classname: JMS destination class name; e.g. org.apache.activemq.artemis.jms.client.ActiveMQQueue
  - application.modules.provisioning.destination.name: JMS queue name; constructor parameter for previous class; e.g. Provisioning
  - application.modules.provisioning.destination.properties: possible initialization properties for the destination class
  - There is no default value for these properties. The default behavior is to start and use embedded Artemis JSM server
  - ATTENTION: The configured connection factory must implement jakarta.jms.XAConnectionFactory and destination must implement jakarta.jms.Destination!
NEW: The OpenTelemetry span and related OpTrace logging can contain the SOAP and REST request and response bodies. (NEVISIDM-9488)
- New configuration property introduced:
  - add.request.and.response.body.to.opentelemetry: need to add or not; by default false
  - ATTENTION:
    - Processing the complete request and response bodies can cause reduction of performance!
    - The complete request and response bodies could contain sensitive information!
    - It works only if you use OpenTelemetry extension agent and OpTrace logger is configured to TRACE or you can see the body contents in Jaeger or similar tool!
NEW: We added a documentation page that provides a more detailed explanation of the SOAP detail levels. See more (NEVISIDM-9376)

(NEVISIDM-9474)
NEW: Introduced rest.display.timezone configuration property to set the timezone for date and time attributes in the REST API responses. For further information: rest.display.timezone(NEVISIDM-9450)

CHANGED: Users and their history tables name column sizes are increased. (NEVISIDM-9304)
- TITLE field is increased from 20 to 64 characters;
- NAME field is increased from 100 to 120 characters;
- FIRST_NAME field is increased from 50 to 100 characters.

caution

We suggest to apply this migration in maintenance period because of possible high load during index recreations. In case of Oracle database the IIDMA_USER_FIRST_NAME_UP index has to be dropped before altering the FIRST_NAME column (which is done by nevisidmdb tool). If you have other function based index on the field FIRST_NAME (or on TITLE or NAME fields) the migration fails until you drop them manually.

Breaking changes

Lucene/Elasticsearch related changes!

The index structure of the entities has been modified during refactoring, which may cause the Hibernate Query component to fail to upgrade without error. Therefore, delete all Lucene/Elasticsearch indexes associated with the IDM instance before starting. Once the IDM is started, it will re-index all entities as part of the startup process.

CHANGED: The nevisAuth session API only accepts String attribute values. Previously it was possible to add any value. If it was not a String, a warning was logged and it was not saved to the database. This change can be tricky with ScriptStates as groovy does not do type-safe checks for the session Map used in the scripts. It is possible to add and retrieve a non String value inside the script, but a java.lang.ClassCastException happens later. In those cases you have to check the scripts and change the behaviour to store a string value, by either changing your logic, or serialising your object to a String. (NEVISIDM-9089)
REMOVED: We removed the jcan-log and jcan-optrace third-party dependencies. OpTrace logging is replaced by OpenTelemetry. (NEVISIDM-9070)

UPDATED: The default value for security.properties.cipher changed to AES/GCM/NoPadding. In systems, where this value was set, no configuration change is necessary, the update will not affect the decryption process. In systems, where this value was not set, enabling the decryption fallback mechanism with security.properties.fallback.enabled is recommended. This will allow the decryption of old values, which were encrypted with the old default. Alternatively, the cipher can be set to the old value to maintain the same decryption process.

For all history tables with less than a million records, the update automatically happens during migration.

If a table is not updated, a log message in a separate table is added: TIDMA_TABLE_UPDATE_LOG. To run a manual update:

Copy and run the ALTER_TABLE line in an SQL terminal from the TIDMA_TABLE_UPDATE_LOG table. The line looks something like this:

Table not updated, because there are too many records: `{table_name}`.
For a successful update, run the following command manually at maintenance time.
`ALTER TABLE {table_name} MODIFY ORIG_ID NUMBER(19,0);`

Database schema requirement

Application version	Minimal required database schema version	Maximal supported database schema version
2.82.0.1117104689	7.4	7.x

Breaking changes

The index creation and the search functionality behind the Query REST services were upgraded (NEVISIDM-7526). As a consequence, delete the old indexes in the application.queryservice.index.dir folder.

The index folders are also changed to avoid conflicts during upgrade. These are the changes:

For applications: Application_Index → Application
For clients: Client_Index → Client
For roles: Role_Index → Role
For clients: Unit_Index → Unit
For clients: User_Index → User

Furthermore, the search for custom properties changed slightly. Previously, it was possible to search for values with the following two syntaxes:

With "property" as the static keyword: "property: property_value"
With the name of the property definition as the keyword: "property_name: property_value"

As of this release, you can still use "property" as a static keyword:

"property: property_value"

But if you want to use the property name definition as a keyword, add the "properties." static keyword as a prefix:

"properties.property_name: property_value"

The nevisIDM reference guide is updated accordingly. For more details, see the chapter "Query Service and Quick Search Feature".

The CTL_MOD_DAT field of the TIDMA_PROPERTY_VALUE table is no longer updated for each modification on a related scope (for example, on TIDMA_USER). Also, custom property update events are no longer written into the TIDMA_PROPERTY_VALUE_V table, to reduce database space consumption. Direct modifications on custom properties are still incorporated into property tables, but only the ones that were changed.

If you count on the above mentioned records, for example in your nevisDP scripts, calculate them based on earlier history events, as nevisIDM does in the background. You could also use the SOAP history services. (NEVISIDM-7545)

General changes and new features

General/Core

NEW: It is now possible to ensure the creation of custom properties at startup. The custom properties are loaded from JSON files placed at the directory <instance directory>/conf/import. For the exact format, see the section "Pre-loading other data" in the chapter "Database Preparing" of the nevisIDM reference guide. (NEVISIDM-7541)

NEW: It is now possible to filter users based on their custom properties when fetching the users. (NEVISIDM-7012)
NEW: You can now set the custom properties of a user in the same call in which you create or modify the user. In the User rest service, you require the following additional permissions if you want to use this functionality:
NEW: The Client rest service now provides custom properties in the user list response. This new functionality requires the following additional permissions:
FIXED: The custom properties were not returned when you queried and modified user data in selfAdmin mode. This bug is now fixed. (NEVISIDM-7483)
FIXED: You could not use some common English words to search on the Query REST interface. This bug is now fixed. (NEVISIDM-7526)
FIXED: Once the terms & conditions were consented by a first user, no other user was asked for a consent any more - the service always returned an empty list. This bug is now fixed. From now on, multiple users can accept the same terms & conditions one after another. (NEVISIDM-7566)
FIXED: The transaction timeout was sometimes logged in the log file as 30 seconds (the default value), even though you had set the timeout differently (for example, to 60 seconds). This bug is fixed. From now on, the configured timeout appears in the log file. (NEVISIDM-7574)
FIXED: "Direct Printing" did no longer work in conjunction with adnooprint 1.2.x. This issue is now fixed, and printing works again with LibreOffice 5.3.6 and adnooprint 1.2.x. (NEVISIDM-7594)

Breaking changes

CHANGED: During user creation on the REST interface, the login ID generator can now generate a loginId if no ID value is provided and the generator is enabled. If the caller wants to override the generated loginId, by providing a value for it in the request, the caller needs the AccessControl.LoginIdOverride right. (NEVISIDM-7374)
CHANGED: The unique check of the credential's extId and the client's id now takes place on database level, in a new table called TIDMA_CREDENTIAL_CLIENT. Previously, this check happened in the Java business logic. Because the uniqueness constraint may already be violated in some cases, execute specific manual steps before starting the database migration. For more details, see section Upgrading from nevisIDM 2.79.0.x]
CHANGED: When removing old, archived users, the UpdateUserStateJob now also removes users who were created with the Archived state and never had their state changed. That is, these user's STATE_CHANGED_DATE is "null". (NEVISIDM-7349)

FIXED: The bug where validation errors of the messaging log did not log the correct truststore configurations. (NEVISIDM-7371)
KNOWN BUG: There is a bug in the underlying OpenOffice used by adnooprint 1.1.0.0, which causes a memory leak. As a workaround it is recommended restarting adnooprint periodically with a cron job. (NEVISIDM-5525)

More Information

For more information on the underlying bug, see Issue 41675 - memory leak while converting](https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=41675)".

UPGRADED: Versions of the underlying Artemis and embedded container were upgraded. (NEVISIDM-7370)

Web GUI

FIXED: The bug where URL parameters could not be parsed due to an exception in the language resolution logic. (NEVISIDM-7335)

CHANGED: When querying a generic credential, the result now contains the custom properties of the credential. (NEVISIDM-7061)
CHANGED: The response of the GET method /{clientExtId}/users/{userExtId}/mauths/ includes the new field stateName. This field contains the active state of the credential in the database. The available field/state options are "active" or "disabled". (NEVISIDM-7289)

Database

NEW: The nevisidmdb tool now supports the repair command for failed database migrations. (NEVISIDM-7381)
CHANGED: The LOGIN_ID column of the TIDMA_USER table is extended to 300 characters. Due to this change, indexes that hold the LOGIN_ID column must be rebuilt during migration. Furthermore, the indexes iidma_user_client_login_id_up and iidma_user_login_id_num of Oracle databasesare dropped and recreated. As a consequence, the migration may take longer. Therefore, plan your migration accordingly. (NEVISIDM-7306)
REMOVED: Legacy procedures of the nevisIDM database version 2.60.0.0 have been removed. (NEVISIDM-7246)

Configuration

NEW: The nevisidm-prod.properties file contains the following new configuration parameters:

CHANGED: Deprecated configuration properties now generate a warning in the logs if they are set. (NEVISIDM-7331)
FIXED: The bug where the provisioning truststore configuration did not fall back to the truststore provided in the system property javax.net .ssl.trustStore , if the configuration property messaging.remote.tls.truststore was not set. (NEVISIDM-7372)

Upgrading from nevisIDM 2.79.0.x

Step 1: Installation

Install the packages of nevisIDM 2.80.0.552486535 on the server.

Step 2: Configuration files

No changes.

Step 3: Database

The unique check of the credential's extId and the client's id now takes place on database level, in a new table called TIDMA_CREDENTIAL_CLIENT. Previously, this check happened in the Java business logic. As a consequence of this change, the credential extId must be unique for each credential within the same client. Because this uniqueness constraint may already be violated in some cases, execute the following manual steps before starting the database migration.

The violation of the uniqueness constraint may have happened in the past, when two concurrent threads inserted credentials with the same extId into the same client. Existing applications (nevisIDM instances running versions below 2.80.0.X) can still insert inconsistent data to the database. Therefore, make sure that existing applications do not add new credentials or assign Vasco credentials to the database after the migration took place. Otherwise, check the uniqueness constraint again manually.

Find all credentials that violate the constraint, with the following query. The query lists all the credential extIds that are duplicated within the same clients.

SELECT CREDENTIAL.EXTID AS credentialExtid,
 COUNT(CREDENTIAL.EXTID) AS credentialCount,
 TU.CLIENT_ID AS clientId
FROM TIDMA_CREDENTIAL CREDENTIAL
 LEFT OUTER JOIN TIDMA_USER TU ON CREDENTIAL.USER_ID = TU.USER_ID
GROUP BY TU.CLIENT_ID, CREDENTIAL.EXTID
HAVING COUNT(CREDENTIAL.EXTID) > 1
;

Change the extId for the credentials listed by the query. Not change the extId for all credentials - one credential per listed extId can keep this extId. But change the extId for all other credentials with the same extId. For example, you have credentialCount=2 for a specific credential extId "123". One of the credentials with extId "123" can keep the extId "123". But give the other credential with extId "123" a new, unique, extId.
Only the users who own the affected credentials know the secrets in these credentials (because the values are hashed). This means that administrators cannot re-create the credentials with the same secrets. In this context, there are three possible options to change the affected credentials:

The users delete the credentials on their own and create new ones through one of our APIs (GUI, REST, SOAP).
The administrators delete the credentials and create new ones through our APIs (GUI, REST, SOAP). With this option, the secrets of the new credentials must be communicated to the affected users.
The administrators manually change the extId of the credentials directly in the database. However, by doing so, the changes are neither written to the audit log nor to the provisioning queue. Use the following statement in case synchronise these manual changes to another system (replace NEW_VALUE with the new extId value):
```
for each row in the query above, get the credentialExtId and the clientId and do:
 SELECT CREDENTIAL_ID as credentialId WHERE EXTID='credentialExtId' and CLIENT_ID=clientId;
 for all but one credentialId do:
 UPDATE TIDMA_CREDENTIAL SET EXTID='__NEW_VALUE__' WHERE CREDENTIAL_ID=credentialId;
```

Best Choice

Which of the above options is the best for you depends on the kind of external systems, the involved clients, the number of affected users and credentials, as well as the kind of credentials. You can now start the database schema migration. Update the nevisidmdb package with the following command (this will remove the current installed version of nevisidmdb):

rpm -U nevisidmdb-7.3.0.552486535-1.noarch.rpm

Migrate the database schema with the following command:

NEW: nevisIDM now provides a REST service to get and delete the Mobile Authentication credentials of a user (by means of the GET and DELETE methods). For more details, see the separate REST API documentation. (NEVISIDM-6770, NEVISIDM-6797)

Web Services

NEW: The Web Service supports additional user notifications (10-20) from version 1.45 on. (NEVISIDM-6653)
FIXED: The bug concerning the nevisidm-ws-client.jar file, which contained duplicated WSDL files. (NEVISIDM-6728)
FIXED: The bug where the web services did not accept unknown SOAPAction headers. From now on, nevisIDM no longer evaluates the SOAPAction header and ignores its value. (NEVISIDM-6710)

Database

KNOWN_BUG: The nevisIDM application with a MariaDB database does not support the autocommit being set to "false" in both the server configuration and through the database.connection.url property in the nevisidm-prod.properties file. As a workaround, enable the auto-commit either on the server or on the client. (NEVISIDM-6878)
FIXED: The bug in MariaDB where the nevisidmdb tool did not commit the last entry in the history table. This happened when autocommit was set to "false" in the server configuration and on the connection URL. (NEVISIDM-6858)

Upgrading from nevisIDM 2.76.2.x

Step 1: Installation

Install the packages of nevisIDM 2.77.0.75 on the server.

Step 2: Configuration filesNo changes

Step 3: Database

Steps to perform for Oracle DB only

Head to the Oracle JDBC driver](https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/jdbc-ucp-122-downloads.html)" download page and download the appropriate driver. The driver file will be called something like ojdbc8.jar.
Create a lib folder (if it does not exist) under the nevisIDM instance folder (mkdir -p /var/opt/nevisidm/$INSTANCE/lib).
Copy the downloaded driver to the newly created lib folder (/var/opt/nevisidm/$INSTANCE/lib).
Copy the downloaded driver to the lib folder of nevisidmdb tool (/var/opt/nevisidmdb/lib). Update the nevisidmdb package with the following command (this will remove the current installed version of nevisidmdb):

rpm -U nevisidmdb-4.4.0.75-1.noarch.rpm

Migrate the database schema with the following command:

nevisidmdb migrate

Step 4: Cleanup

Remove the software packages of the old nevisIDM release from the server and restart the affected nevisIDM instances.

Step 5: nevisAuth configuration

Install the new nevisidmcl package on all nevisAuth instances that connect to the upgraded nevisIDM instance.
Restart the affected nevisAuth instances.

nevisIDM 2.76.2.63 - 19.02.2020

Database schema requirement

Application version	Minimal required database schema version	Maximal supported database schema version
2.76.2.63	3.1	4.x

Breaking changes

REMOVED: nevisIDM no longer supports adnwildfly. For adnwildfly,use nevisIDM version 2.75.x.x for long term support (LTS). (NEVISIDM-6188)
REMOVED: The auditing provider fileAuditProvider is removed. Use the auditing provider jsonAuditProvider instead. (NEVISIDM-6026)
DEPRECATED: The auditing provider jcanLogAuditProvider is deprecated. Use the auditing provider jsonAuditProvider instead. (NEVISIDM-6026)
CHANGED: As of this release, jsonAuditProvider is the default auditing provider. (NEVISIDM-6026)
CHANGED: nevisIDM now uses Log4j 2, instead of Log4j, for logging. Therefore, migrate all logging configurations to Log4j 2 files. See chapter Step 2: Configuration Files.
CHANGED: From now on, the status code of a REST request with a missing body is "400" (Bad Request). Previously, it was "422" (Unprocessable Entity). (NEVISIDM-6161)
CHANGED: As of this release, REST requests with unknown fields in the request body will fail. (NEVISIDM-6161)

General changes and new features

General/Core

KNOWN BUG: Logging for jcan.op does not work. It is fixed in version 2.76.3.77 (NEVISIDM-6986).
NEW: You can now configure the jsonAuditProvider auditing provider such that it rolls the log files daily and/or by file size. (NEVISIDM-6026)
NEW: From now on the provided logging template is in YAML format. YAML is also the recommended format. (NEVISIDM-6414)
CHANGED: The package of the UserServiceRequestInjectingFilter has been changed. Adjust the logging configurations such that they point to the new packagech.adnovum.nevisidm.web.filters.UserServiceRequestInjectingFilter. (NEVISIDM-5838)
FIXED: The issue where device password credentials were not properly locked after reaching the maximum attempt counter. (NEVISIDM-6261)
FIXED: The issue with the initialization vector randomness. Now the initialization vector is chosen at random for every new encryption. This deprecates the property security.properties.iv.(NEVISIDM-5916).
REMOVED: Custom batch jobs are no longer supported. As a replacement, use an external job scheduler (for example, Cron), which accesses nevisIDM via the official nevisIDM API's.

Web GUI

FIXED: The issue where the Event queue manager screen did not load because of too many events. (NEVISIDM-5633)
FIXED: The issue where the Unit Search Tree was not loaded on the first request. (NEVISIDM-6236)
FIXED: The issue where the application drop-down list was larger than the Assign clients to application screen when the display name of one of the applications was too long. (NEVISIDM-5919)
FIXED: The issue where Internet Explorer used older versions in compatibility mode, which broke the layout. The system now enforces version 11+ in compatibility mode. (NEVISIDM-6411)

Rest API

NEW: The endpoint that retrieves a user's pending terms now also supports pagination. (NEVISIDM-6072)
NEW: New REST services for enterprise roles and enterprise roles authorizations are now available. For more details, see the separate REST API documentation. (NEVISIDM-6178)
NEW: The Roles endpoint of the Profiles REST service now also returns roles assigned over enterprise roles. (NEVISIDM-6333)
CHANGED: Password creation will now also return the "201" (CREATED) status code and a location header for the created password credential even if no password fragment is returned in the response. (NEVISIDM-6186)
CHANGED (Edge Case): Paginated REST calls now return elements that are created at the exact same timestamp in the correct order. (NEVISIDM-6168).
CHANGED: From now on, fields of POST request DTOs are marked as mandatory or optional in the separately available REST API documentation. (NEVISIDM-6160)
CHANGED: As of this release, REST requests with unknown fields in the request body will fail. (NEVISIDM-6161)
CHANGED: From now on, the status code of a REST request with a missing body is "400" (Bad Request). Previously, it was "422" (Unprocessable Entity). (NEVISIDM-6161)

Database

NEW: As of this release, the user nevisfido for mobile authentication is available as reference data for newly created nevisIDM databases. (NEVISIDM-6216)
NEW: This release introduces the new nevisidmdb tool. You will find more information in chapter nevisidmdb Usage and Configuration Properties]".
FIXED: The issue where the creation of VIDMH_UNIT_UNIQUE was skipped at migration when you used Oracle. (NEVISIDM-6281)
REMOVED: The existing nevisidmdb database has been removed and replaced. The following operations are not supported anymore: If you need multiple instances, you can use the nevisidmdb database with different configuration files. Chapter Database Preparing]" includes information on how to perform the initial setup now. Dropping the database is critical in a productive environment. But if you really need to drop the database, you will find more information in chapter Drop nevisIDM database]". This is not supported anymore. From now on, choose the kind of access during the initial database setup. Accessing the database directly is not recommended. If it is required nevertheless, use an alternative client, for example the Oracle Instant Client. SQL files are not included in the RPM's anymore. Use the nevisidmdb tool for database schema migrations.
REMOVED: The DELETE_CREDENTIAL_HISTORY procedure has been removed. (NEVISIDM-6997)

Upgrading from nevisIDM 2.75.0.x

Step 1: Installation

Install the package nevisidm 2.76.2.63 on the server.

Step 2: Configuration files

The configuration property application.modules.auditing.provider of the nevisidm-prod.properties file has a new default: jsonAuditProvider.
nevisIDM now uses Log4j2 for logging. The existing log4j.xml logging configuration file is not compatible with Log4j2 and is therefore not supported anymore. The default recommended configuration file format for Log4j2 is YAML. The default logging configuration file is now named logging.yml. Perform the following steps to migrate configuration files of existing instances:
- Manually migrate custom logging configurations contained in the old log4j.xml file to the instance's logging.yml file. You will find further information about the new Log4j2 configuration format in the template and on this website: (http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/migration.html).

Step 3: Database

If not done yet, first upgrade the database schema to version 2.75.0.0 according to chapter Upgrade database to version 2.75.0.0]".
Update the nevisidmdb package with the following command (this will remove the current installed version of nevisidmdb):

rpm -U nevisidmdb-3.1.2.63-1.noarch.rpm

When you update the nevisidmdb package, the system will migrate existing legacy env.conf configurations to the new configuration properties file format. Existing instances will be zipped to /var/opt/nevisidmdb/legacy_instance_<instance-name>.tar.gz. → Go to the directory /var/opt/nevisidmdb/conf/ and double-check that the migrated configuration file is correct. You can find further information on the configuration properties file in chapter nevisidmdb configuration properties file]".

Manually migrating conf files when using nevisAppliance

In case nevisAppliance is used, then the nevisidmdb package is already updated during build time of the nevisAppliance image. In this case, migrate the configuration files manually. Proceed as follows:

Create a backup (archive) of the existing configurations (/var/opt/nevisidmdb/<instance-name>/conf/).
Create a new properties file called nevisidmdb.properties in /var/opt/nevisidmdb/conf/.
Migrate your existing configurations from the env.conf file to nevisidmdb.properties file as follows (the variables surrounded by underscores are the current variable values from your env.conf file):
In case of an Oracle database:
database.connection.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@//*_DBHOST_*:*_DBPORT_*/*_ORACLE_SID_*
database.owner.name=*_DBOWNER_NAME_*
database.owner.password=*_DBOWNER_PASSWORD_*
database.role.appl=*_ROLE_APPL_*
database.ts.index=*_DBTS_INDEX_*
database.ts.data=*_DBTS_DATA_*
In case of a MariaDB database:
database.connection.url=jdbc:mysql://*_DBHOST_MYSQL*_:*_DBPORT_MYSQL_*/nevisidm
database.owner.name=*_DBOWNER_NAME_MYSQL_*
database.owner.password=*_DBOWNER_PASSWORD_MYSQL_*
Copy /opt/nevisidmdb/template/env.conf to /var/opt/nevisidmdb/conf/, which can be used to configure environment variables.
Migrate the database schema with the following command:

nevisidmdb migrate
## with a custom configuration:
nevisidmdb migrate -c /var/opt/nevisidmdb/conf/custom-nevisidmdb.properties

Step 4: Cleanup

Remove the software packages of the old nevisIDM release from the server. Restart the affected nevisIDM instances.

Step 5: nevisAuth configuration

Install the new nevisidmcl package on all nevisAuth instances that connect to the upgraded nevisIDM instance.
Restart the affected nevisAuth instances.

REMOVED: The technical attributes from the TIDMA_PERSIST_QUEUE table have been removed. (NEVISIDM-6158)

Upgrading from nevisIDM 2.74.0.x

Step 1: Installation

Install the packages of nevisIDM 2.75.0.510 on the server.

Step 2: Configuration files

No changes

Step 3: Database

Preparation: Stop the nevisIDM instance. Execution: Patch the DB of nevisIDM 2.74.x.x to 2.75.0.510. Therefore, perform the following steps: Oracle

Create a logon trigger. The logon trigger is required to set the current schema of the user to the database owner when connecting to the database.

Connect to the database with system user:

$> nevisidmdb sqlplus <system>

Execute the following SQL statement by replacing the database owner and user name accordingly. Note that the db owner name defaults to UIDM01 and the db user name defaults to *UIDM02:

SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER <db user name>.after_logon_trg AFTER LOGON ON <db user name>.SCHEMA
BEGIN
 EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA = <db owner name>';
END;
/

On the server's terminal, execute the command below. Note that the db owner name defaults to UIDM01 and the db user name defaults to UIDM02.

$> nevisidmdb patch 2.74.0 2.75.0 <db owner name> <db owner password> <db user name> <db user password>

Recommendation: Refresh the DB statistics and flush the shared pool with the old query plans. Thus, the Oracle DB creates new query plans that are optimized for the upgraded nevisIDM data model.
Optional: Check for invalid DB objects. Proceed as follows:

Connect to the database as DBOWNER (defaults to UIDM01) with sqlplus.
Search for invalid DB objects (such as db_user or db_owner):

SQL> select OBJECT_NAME, OBJECT_TYPE from user_objects where status = 'INVALID';

Generate a script to recompile invalid objects:

SQL> Select decode( object_type, 'PACKAGE BODY', 'ALTER PACKAGE ' || OBJECT_NAME ||
' COMPILE BODY;','ALTER ' || OBJECT_TYPE || ' ' || OBJECT_NAME || ' compile;' )
from user_objects where status = 'INVALID' order by object_type;

Execute the generated script.

The nevisIDMpatchdbscripts are tested for invalid objects. If everything is correct, no invalid objects should be created.*Some invalid objects are *automatically recompiled when you first access them. So in terms of corruption, they are not really invalid.

MariaDB

On the server's terminal, execute the command below. Note that the db owner name defaults to UIDM01:

$> nevisidmdb patch 2.74.0 2.75.0 <db owner name> <db owner password>

Remove the init-file parameter for idm_call_reset_autoincrement.sql from the MariaDb configuration.

Post-processing: Start the nevisIDM instance.

Step 4: Cleanup

Remove the software packages of the old nevisIDM release from the server and restart the affected nevisIDM instances.

Step 5: nevisAuth configuration

Install the new nevisidmcl package on all nevisAuth instances that connect to the upgraded nevisIDM instance.
Restart the affected nevisAuth instances.
