nevisAdmin 8.2405.0 Release Notes - 2024-05-15

RPM: nevisadmin4-8.2405.0.7-1.noarch.rpm
GUI Version: FE 8.2405.0-1300 - BE 8.2405.0.7

Changes and new features

Breaking changes

CHANGED: Due to the shallow checkout feature, Kubernetes deployments no longer work with uninitialized repositories.

New features

NEW: Inventory scoped secrets, secret files, and files can now be converted into global scoped secrets, secret files, and files respectively, on the Secrets & Files screen.
NEW: nevisAdmin 4 now collects anonymized analytics data. This helps us understand better how nevisAdmin 4 is used.
note
nevisAdmin 4 only collects data, it does not send it to us without explicit user interaction. For more information, see product-analytics.

General changes

IMPROVED: Issues with INFO severity are now logged at DEBUG log level instead of INFO log level, for better log readability. This change only affects issues (mostly the ones created during the validation of configurations), not all log messages.
IMPROVED: The deployment process now creates a shallow clone of the deployment repository.
IMPROVED: In the Inventory Editor, validation errors that can be traced to specific lines are now displayed inline in the editor instead of only in the page header.
IMPROVED: The log viewer dialog (for pod's or nevisAdmin 4's logs) now lets you turn on line wrapping. The preference is sticky among logs.
FIXED: Using REST requests, it used to be possible to deploy projects with inventories that are not in the same tenant as the project. Such requests are now rejected.
FIXED: We fixed a GUI issue in the pattern editor where an error was thrown when a variable was assigned to a multi-select type of pattern field.
FIXED: The file tree in the Generation Results in the Deployment Wizard no longer throws errors or become unresponsive when the tree has a lot of items. Moving the divider between the file tree and the file content previewer also became easier.
FIXED: The authentication flow tree (in the right sidebar of the pattern editor) mixed up multiple occurrences of the same pattern when navigating using the links in the tree. Now those links correctly select the expected pattern in the tree.

Patterns 8.2405.0 Release Notes - 2024-05-15

Build Version: 8.2405.0.6

Changes and new features

info

Changes marked with ⚠️ may be breaking, have security impact, or affect user experience. Review these changes carefully, and adapt your pattern configuration as required.

General

⚠️ The image version encoded in the patterns has been raised to 8.2405.0 for all components. If you are deploying to Kubernetes you have to push all required images to your container registry before deployment.
PAT-639: Added Deployment Environment drop-down to Java Observability Settings pattern.
PAT-657: Ensure errors caused by uploaded XML files are shown in the pattern where the file is uploaded.
PAT-675: Fixed duplicate Java agent configuration in env.conf when using Java Observability Settings pattern.
PAT-667: Support generation of otel configuration based on inventory variables.
⚠️ PAT-660: Support 2-way TLS with PostgreSQL for Java components.
- The value enabled does not exist anymore, and you have to select a different value. We recommend to use verify-ca or verify-full in combination with a Trust Store instead.
⚠️ PAT-631: Kubernetes deployments will now use startup probes to allow for longer startup times.
- Additionally, the used liveness and readiness probe timings were tightened and the liveness and readiness delay configuration options were removed.
- Make sure to upgrade to the latest version of the nevisOperator and its corresponding CRDs before deploying with the new plugin version.

Application Protection

PAT-547: The generated dynamic SecurityRoleFilter won’t store the intercepted requests by default anymore.
PAT-651: The StateKey parameter is no longer generated for SecurityRoleFilter.
PAT-651: Added option to configure custom parameters for the SecurityRoleFilter in realms.
⚠️ PAT-659: Support 2-way TLS with PostgreSQL for nevisProxy.
- The value enabled does not exist anymore, and you have to select a different value. We recommend to use verify-ca or verify-full in combination with a Trust Store instead.
PAT-658: Updated navajo.xml generation to match the latest navajo DTD version.
PAT-674: Fix error during background generation when using a nevisAdmin ${var expression and using only a variable as param-value in a servlet or filter in Generic Virtual Host Settings or Generic Application Settings.

Authentication

PAT-673: Support configuration of arbitrary KeyObject elements by allowing the nevisAuth KeyObject pattern to be assigned to nevisAuth Instance.
PAT-673: Support configuration of property elements for KeyObject in nevisAuth KeyObject pattern.
PAT-669: Support configuration of custom Audit channels for nevisAuth.
PAT-657: Support child Mapping for Method in Generic nevisAuth Web Service.
PAT-652: New setting Shared Groovy Scripts on nevisAuth Instance.
PAT-642: Fix requirement clash when reusing JSON Response Step.
N/A: Fixed corrupted binary files being deployed when uploading them to Custom Resources in nevisAuth Instance.

Identity Management

PAT-680: For permissions related to credentials (such as CredentialChangeState, CredentialCreate, CredentialDelete, CredentialModify, CredentialPdfView, CredentialSearch, CredentialView, and CredentialViewPlainValue), it is now allowed to reduce the elementary permission to a specific credential type. Example: CredentialCreate.PASSWORD
PAT-663: Avoid file clash when creating the same nevisIDM property with different scopes.

Mobile Authentication

⚠️ PAT-668: The following 2 values have been removed from the default facets in nevisFIDO UAF Instance:
- android:apk-key-hash:z7Xkw62dAn/BsckOQ9a3OMhmlwhzdr2VkcswIIyJgJE
- ios:bundle-id:ch.nevis.accessapp.presales.k8s
PAT-641: Fix HTTP connection to nevisFIDO for Out-of-band Mobile Onboarding.

SAML / OAuth / OpenID Connect

NEVISDETECT-1835: Added option to disable nevisAdapt analyzers, either on module or analyzer level.

nevisAppliance 8.2405.0.1130 - 15.05.2024

Announcement

The Rolling Release from May 2024 has been lifted to be based on 'Rocky Linux 9' which is a breaking change. To go along with supported Operating System Releases, we have upgraded the Base OS of the NevisAppliance from Rocky Linux 8 to 'Rocky Linux 9', also to support the EL9 platform. Please get yourself familiar with 'Rocky Linux 9' if you need to do OS level changes.

The database appliance contains in addition to MariaDB (10.5.x) also a PostgreSQL Database (15.x) which is supported by the Nevis components.

Breaking change

NetworkManager is now the default for managing network interfaces/connections.

The legacy scripts in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ still exist but are now under control of the NetworkManager.
NetworkManager stores its config files under /etc/NetworkManager/. The 'nevisappliance' network menu still creates these legacy files during this transformation (as you also manually can do) but NetworkManager will handle them. You can also already use the new configuration by defining interfaces in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections, these will also be considered.
Thus, to go along with this change, while upgrading existing Rocky Linux 8 based nevisAppliances (current RR and RR23) it is necessary to make the following changes to prepare the activation of NetworkManager upfront or after the 'upgrade-nevis.sh' script but before rebooting the nevisAppliance!

Update/append the following (arrow marked) parts in each existing /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg* file, giving it the same value as you have for 'DEVICE':

...
TYPE=ethernet
NAME=eth0                        # <======= add this line accordingly (adjust value)
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
...
#NM_CONTROLLED=no                # <======= put this in comment(#)

Issue the following shell commands

# systemctl enable NetworkManager
# systemctl restart NetworkManager

also note:

ClamAv runtime user/group has changed from 'clamav:clamav' to 'clamscan:antivirus' to go along with this package. This change will be done automatically during the upgrade.
The 'vi' editor is superseeded by 'vim'

For more information, see the component-specific upgrade and release notes.

nevisAuth 8.2405.0.4 - 15.05.2024

Changes and new features

Breaking changes

REMOVED: The constant TokenSignature.DFLT_ALGORITHM using SHA1 was removed from jcan-sectoken, use the value SHA256withRSA instead.
REMOVED: The nevisauth-test-authstateharness-fat no longer embeds the following 3rd party dependencies: log4j, slf4j, groovy-test, groovy-test-junit5, groovy-testng as these can easily cause an unresolvable version clash.
REMOVED: RHEL8 Linux is no longer supported, it is superseded by RHEL9. RHEL8 is still supported on 7.2405.x (LTS24).
FIXED: The OOCD and Remote session store incorrectly storing time data in certain cases when using MariaDB. This caused an error during daylight saving time switch in spring while 1 hour disappears from time. MariaDB JDBC driver defaulting to the server timezone caused to double convert from local timezone to UTC. Normally this does not cause any issue for nevisAuth as the read/write uses the same logic. During the daylight saving time switch this causes a validation error at db that we try to insert a not existing (valid) time. Database connection session is now using UTC timezone to avoid this. Note that because of this change OOCD entries and Sessions will expire earlier with the timezone offset. If this is not acceptable you can fix the data in the DB like this: update nevisauth_out_of_context_data_service set reap_timestamp = DATE_ADD(reap_timestamp, INTERVAL 2 HOUR); update TNSSA_AUTH_SESSION_CACHE set ABSTO = DATE_ADD(ABSTO, INTERVAL 2 HOUR); These statements assume Central European Time and that the data was created in Summer time. (With winter time you have to add only 1 hour) In case of getting an error like Unknown or incorrect time zone: 'UTC' afterwards that means your database did not have the timezone database initilized. You have to run mysql_tzinfo_to_sql /usr/share/zoneinfo | mysql -u root mysql -p to verifiy the result of that you can run SELECT * FROM mysql.time_zone_name;. Note that this will only impact you if you upgrading from the java8 els versions or any rolling version >= 4.40.0.10. Upgrading from LTS21 is not impacted as LTS21 does not have this issue yet as it was introduced in NEVISAUTH-4265.

General Changes

FIXED: OAuth2 only return error redirect when valid redirect_uri is provided.
FIXED: We made the encryption of the AccessToken work also for OAuth2.
FIXED: We fixed corrupted SecToken generated by JWT Bearer Grant Authentication flow.
FIXED: Getting BadConfigurationException when setting nevismeta.httpclient.authorization.basic.* properties.
FIXED: The actorCert not extracted from HTTP Request.
FIXED: The public client without client secret throw exception during token request.
NEW: We support EC key for JWKS.
NEW: Configuration option server.tls.verify-sni which allows to disable SNI validation Jetty. This can be used to mitigate a Java bug when a Java client is not sending SNI information when the hostname does not contain a dot.
EXPERIMENTAL: We introduced the property openid.promptParameterSupported for using prompt parameter in AuthorizationServer.

nevisFIDO 8.2405.0.2 - 15.05.2024

Changes and new features

NEW: nevisFIDO supports the Password Authenticator in the metadata and policy files. A new default policy file has been added to allow only the password authenticator to be used.

Breaking changes

CHANGE: The PublicKeyCredentialOptions stored in the FIDO2 session (webauthn_sessions) changed its format. Because of the serialisation used, it's not backward compatible. Ongoing registration or authentication ceremonies (started before upgrading) will fail.
REMOVED: RHEL8 Linux is no longer supported, it is superseded by RHEL9. RHEL8 is still supported on 7.2405.x (LTS24).
FIXED: The session store incorrectly storing time data in certain cases when using MariaDB. This caused an error during daylight saving time switch in spring while 1 hour disappears from time.

nevisIDM 8.2405.0.9032318589 - 15.05.2024

Application version: 8.2405.0.9032318589
Minimal required database schema version: 7.23
Maximal supported database schema version: 7.x

Changes and new features

General/Core

UPGRADED: We updated Jetty to 12.0.6.
UPGRADED: We updated Netty to 4.1.108.Final.
UPGRADED: We updated Spring Framework to 6.0.19.
UPGRADED: We updated CXF to 4.0.4.
UPGRADED: We updated PostgreSQL Driver to 42.6.1.
UPGRADED: We upgraded Commons-configuration2 to 2.10.1.
NEW: Credential-type specific permissions have been extended with AccessControl.CredentialSearch; From now on, it is possible to provide CredentialSearch to only specific credential types. For further information: Credential-type specific permissions of nevisIDM roles.
NEW: OpenTelemetry spanId and traceId is added to audit log if openTelemetry is configured.
FIXED: Potential performance issues related to getting generic credentials have been resolved.
FIXED: Corrected issues with pagination of FIDO UAF credentials.
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.
CHANGED: Refactored dataroom handling to use separate dataroom test in SQL instead of summarizing them.
CHANGED: Refactored JMS Bridge to use its internal status to check for potential disconnetcions, thus provide improved stability.
CHANGED: Refactored the way IDM retrieves data from the persistent queue.
FIXED: Potential performance issues related to getting generic credentials have been resolved.
UPGRADED: On GUI CredentialType dropdowns lists only the CredentialTypes that signed-in user has the required credential-type specific right. Credential-type specific permissions.
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.
FIXED: JMS bridge feature refactored to avoid high resource consumption in case the bridge target is not enough stable.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Web GUI

FIXED: Improved performance of Users per Applicaiton report.
FIXED: Improved performance of the Assign Roles to Profile page.
FIXED: Search function on Vasco Administation tab now works correctly.

REST API

NEW: The endpoint {userExtId}/credentials is added to the User REST Services to search for the credentials of the user with given extId.
NEW: Added new endpoint to find and delete generics credentials to ClientsRestService.

SCIM API

Notes

The following unique key to the MariaDB based dynamic session management has to be added:

alter table attribute add constraint uc_id_name unique (ID, NAME);

Important

Before adding the unique key be sure that all instances using this database have been upgraded to the latest RR.
The command may fail if there are duplicated attributes. In that case you have to retry later. We recommended adding this key while there is low load.

The upgraded Apache version httpd/2.4.59 also contains the fix for the DH certificate bug.

Backward compatibility issues

If you have configured a PKCS#11 based HSM in navajo.xml, then you have to add those lines into the env.conf file:

OPENSSL_ENGINES=/opt/nevisproxy/lib/engines
export OPENSSL_ENGINES

the default value of the parameter ResourceManager.NoSessionCookie.CookieSecure of the Http[s]ConnectorServlet and WebSocketServlet has changed to true.
the default value of the parameter URLMode of the EncryptionFilter has changed to hmacsha256.
For nevisproxy to run correctly, you need at least SP3 if running on SLES15. You can check the installed SP version on your SLES15 host by executing cat /etc/os-release. The version has to be 15.3 or more:

# cat /etc/os-release 
NAME="openSUSE Leap"
VERSION="15.3"
