Upgrade considerations
Before upgrading to OpsCenter, carefully consider the following changes and follow any prescribed actions.
Support for multiple user roles using LDAP authentication
Users can have multiple roles when using LDAP authentication. If the list of a user's groups map to more than one role in OpsCenter, each user will be granted each of the listed roles, and their resulting OpsCenter permissions will be merged for all of their roles. See Adding a role for an LDAP user (6.7) | Adding a role for an LDAP user (6.8).
role
attribute cannot be found. The single
role
attribute will be provided for users that have only one role. If your
application or script has users with only one role, then updates are not required for continued
use.LCM now installs OpenJDK as the default option
Starting in January 2019, Oracle is ending public updates for the Oracle Java 8 runtime, requiring commercial users to purchase a paid license to obtain updates.
To simplify licensing going forward, LCM in OpsCenter 6.7.0 is introducing support for installing OpenJDK as the default option. LCM will install OpenJDK as distributed by operating system vendors through .deb or .rpm packages. Existing clusters will be migrated to OpenJDK unless Oracle is explicitly selected as the Java vendor prior to running the first install or upgrade job from within OpsCenter 6.7.0.
To understand how this change effects your OpsCenter installation, see Choosing a Java vendor in Lifecycle Manager (6.7) | Choosing a Java vendor in Lifecycle Manager (6.8).
