Connect2id server 14.0 RC2 with Oracle Database support

2023-03-06

This is a snapshot of the upcoming Connect2id server 14.0 with Oracle database support.

The underlying Infinispan-based architecture received a sweeping upgrade from v9.4.x to v14.0.x, while retaining the existing stateless, stateless + Redis and replication Connect2id server clustering modes.

In v14.0 persisting Connect2id server data to an LDAP server will no longer be supported. Connect2id server deployments with an LDAP backend database have the choice to migrate to a supported SQL RDBMS or to AWS DynamoDB.

More information can be found in the release notes below.

Release notes

14.0-rc.2 (2023-03-06)

Summary

  • Upgrades to Infinispan 14.0.

  • Adds Oracle 12c r1+ Database support.

  • Removes LDAP backend database support as part of the Infinispan 14.0 upgrade. Connect2id server deployments with an LDAP backend database can migrate to a supported SQL RDBMS or to AWS DynamoDB.

Configuration

  • /WEB-INF/infinispan-*.xml

    • Upgrades the XML schema to Infinispan 14.0.

  • /WEB-INF/infinispan-stateless-oracle.xml

    • New Infinispan configuration for stateless clustering and an Oracle database.

  • /WEB-INF/infinispan-stateless-redis-oracle.xml

    • New Infinispan configuration for stateless clustering and an Oracle database and Redis for caching and storage of short-lived objects.

  • /WEB-INF/infinispan-replication-oracle.xml

    • New Infinispan configuration for replication clustering and an Oracle database.

  • /WEB-INF/infinispan-multitenant-stateless-oracle.xml

    • New multi-tenant Infinispan configuration for stateless clustering and an Oracle database.

  • /WEB-INF/infinispan-multitenant-stateless-redis-oracle.xml

    • New multi-tenant Infinispan configuration for stateless clustering and an Oracle database and Redis for caching and storage of short-lived objects.

  • /WEB-INF/infinispan-*-{mysql|postgres95|sqlserver|oracle|h2}.xml

    • New optional "dataSource.createTableIfMissing" Java system property. When "true" (the default value) the Connect2id server will automatically create the required SQL tables on startup. It will also perform automatic table alternations where necessary in new major releases. When "false" the database administrator must create or alter the tables manually before server startup.

  • /WEB-INF/infinispan-*-ldap.xml

    • The LDAP backend database XML configurations are removed and no longer supported.

  • /WEB-INF/sql

    • New directory containing the required SQL statements for manual table creation, to be used when the Connect2id is configured to disable automatic table creation (if missing) on server startup (with dataSource.createTableIfMissing=false).

Resolved issues

  • The SQL store must not set the client "application_type" to the default value "web" on record retrieval (issue server/838).

  • The Microsoft SQL Server id_access_tokens table column cnf must be VARCHAR (100), not NVARCHAR(100) (issue authz-store/199).
