Incompatible changes
When you update to IDM 8.0.0 from the last major version, the following changes may impact existing deployments. Adjust existing scripts, files, clients, and so on, as necessary.
If you’re upgrading from an older release, review the changed functionality from all releases after your current version of IDM:
Changes between IDM 7.3.1 and 7.3.2
_api
parameter requires authorization
Requests passing the _api
parameter now require authorization. Learn more in Common REST.
Array comparison
Starting with IDM 7.3.0, unordered array comparison became the default behavior. For this release of IDM, ordered array comparison is the default behavior, restoring the default behavior from prior to IDM 7.3.0.
You can now use the comparison
managed object schema configuration property to choose how JSON array comparisons are made with regard to array order.
Learn more about managed object schema properties and array comparison.
Java upgrade
You must upgrade to Java 17, which is required by Jetty 12, to run IDM 7.3.2. Learn more in Embedded Jetty configuration.
Changes between IDM 7.3.0 and 7.3.1
Workflow engine upgrade
The Flowable embedded workflow engine has been upgraded to version 6.8.0. If you’re upgrading from a previous version of IDM and use workflow, this upgrade requires one or more incremental upgrade scripts. For more information, refer to Upgrade an existing repository.
Changes between IDM 7.2.x and 7.3.0
Synchronization JSON array comparison is order-agnostic
JSON array comparison during sync is now order-agnostic. This change may negate the need for certain custom scripts within mappings. For example, scripts that were previously required to sort ldapGroups
values to avoid unnecessary target object updates.
Attribute encryption on assignments
Assignment attributes are now encrypted if the corresponding connector attribute indicates confidentiality, based on the attribute’s nativeType
(such as JAVA_TYPE_GUARDEDSTRING
or JAVA_TYPE_GUARDED_BYTE_ARRAY
). As part of this change, the managed assignment object now includes the following property:
"attributeEncryption" : { }
If attributeEncryption
is not present, the assignment attributes are not encrypted. If the property is present but empty, it will default to IDM’s default encryption cipher. To specify a different cipher, add the cipher
property. For example:
"attributeEncryption" : {
"cipher" : "AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding"
}
Additionally, secrets.json
has a new secret: idm.assignment.attribute.encryption
.
