Deployment Instructions
Follow these instructions to deploy a cumulative hotfix:
- Download the cumulative hotfix from the support link. Support download links are provided in the succeeding sections on this page.
- Extract the downloaded cumulative hotfix. Each cumulative hotfix is provided in a compressed tarball format (tar.gz).
- On Linux, use "tar -zxvf <filename>" to extract the compressed tarballs.
- On Windows, extract the compressed tarballs.
- The command to copy the hotfix from a Mac/Linux system to the Virtual Appliance is:Copy the extracted files to the Virtual Appliance using SCP software. SCP is available by default on most Mac/Linux systems. You can download WinSCP for the Windows platform.
For example:scp CHF_<Component_Name>-14.4.2-<Date>-VA001.tgz.gpg [email protected]:scp CHF_VA-14.4.2-20231019120955-VA001.tgz.gpg [email protected]: - For example:SSH into the Virtual Appliance.
- Generate the MD5 checksum for the hotfix and compare with the checksum that is documented in the succeeding sections on this page.
For example:md5sum <Cumulative Patch>md5sum CHF_VA-14.4.2-20231019120955-VA001.tgz.gpg - Apply the cumulative hotfix.
For example:patch_vapp <Cumulative Hotfix>patch_vapp CHF_VA-14.4.2-20231019120955-VA001.tgz.gpg - (Optional - Rollback): If there is a need to roll back a cumulative hotfix after it has been applied, log in via SSH/CLI into the Virtual Appliance as shown in Step 4 and run "rollback_vapp".
- The patch and rollback commands should be executed within a "tmux" session (that is, run "tmux" and then run the required patch/rollback command).
- Hotfixes must be applied only after deploying services on a cluster node.

Virtual Appliance - Fixed Defects
The following defects are fixed in Virtual Appliance 14.4.2 Cumulative Hotfix 1:
Support Ticket | Engineering Ticket | Problem Summary | Root Cause | Behavioral Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
33309993 | DE553292 | Security Issue - Enumeration of a protected resource via URL in Virtual Appliance remote tools (Bulk Loader client). | - | - |
33220050 33161609 | DE547824 DE542263 | The following issues are reported in the Identity Manager Log Rotation functionality: * Name mismatch in the rotated log files. * Logs are overwritten to the archived files. | The Log Rotation configuration file used different naming conventions for the log files. | - |
33493989 | DE572781 | Unable to delete a Virtual Appliance node that is not reachable. | Virtual Appliance applies an Operating System validation check that prevents CentOS 6 nodes and allows only the addition of CentOS Stream 8 nodes to the cluster. The same validation check prevents the removal of a node that is not reachable. | Disabled the Operating System validation check for nodes that are being removed, thereby allowing removal of nodes that are not reachable. |
33301128 | DE552525 | Cannot upgrade Virtual Appliance [14.4.1+CHF] to [14.4.2]. | Strict version validation resulted in the patch application failure. | Enhanced the release version validation algorithm. |
33475442 33501083 | DE571385 DE573084 | Enhancement request for the Virtual Appliance to support custom favicon for Identity Manager, Identity Governance, and Identity Portal. | - | Virtual Appliance now allows you to change the favicon for Identity Manager, Identity Governance, and Identity Portal. For more information, see Custom Favicon. |
33486983 | DE571519 | The vAppUserPortalShowAllServices alias is not working as expected. | The Virtual Appliance operating system upgrade impacted the service identification. | - |
33429975 | DE565378 | Changes made to /etc/resolv.conf are lost after the Virtual Appliance reboot. | Changes do not persist due to a change in the NetworkManager service in CentOS 8. The NetworkManager service validates each entry in the resolv.conf file that is configured with DHCP, thereby rewriting the file every time the NetworkManager service restarts. | Virtual Appliance supports a new alias "nmctl-rcmgr" which enables the Resolve Config Manager (rc-manager) to persist changes that are made to /etc/resolv.conf even after rebooting the Virtual Appliance. |
33526405 | DE577685 | The NFS share that the MountNetworkShares alias creates is owned by the root user. Users other than root cannot write to the mounted directory. | The alias mounts the file system as root. | The alias now mounts a file system as a virtual appliance user. |
