  1. Replace Java installation with Java 11

    1. Remove Java 8 installation and Delete JRE_HOME environment variable , as we do not need that with Java 11 installation.

    2. Install Java 11 and set JAVA_HOME according to Installation requirements - SSO

  2. Extract the archive sso-x.x.x-unix.tar.gz to directory /usr/local/ubisecure use the full path to the archive you have downloaded

    Code Block
    tar -xzvf sso-x.x.x-unix.tar.gz
  3. Copy unix.config file from the older version

    Code Block
    cp /usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso-old/ubilogin/unix.config /usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso/ubilogin/unix.config
  4. Add the following lines if they do not exist in the file /usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso/ubilogin/unix.config, see further instructions for openldap specific values from here The Macro language - SSO

    Code Block
    tomcat.instancename = ubilogin-server
    openldap.instancename = ubilogin-directory
    openldap.root= uid=System,ou=System,@suffix@
    openldap.maxsize = 10737418240
    openldap.idlexp = 20
  5. When upgrading from version 8.3.x or older, add the Accounting Service related settings if they do not exist in the file /usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso/ubilogin/unix.config. Modify the settings according to these guidelines.

    Code Block
    # Accounting configuration
    accounting.url = https://localhost:8442
    accounting.proxy.local.url = @accounting.url@
    accounting.instancename = ubisecure-accounting
    accounting.datasource.url = jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/accountingdb
    accounting.datasource.username =
    accounting.datasource.password =
    accounting.secret-key-location-uri = file:///${user.dir}/config/accounting-service.secret
    accounting.actuator.username = accounting_admin
    accounting.actuator.password =
    accounting.jms.broker.port = 36161
    accounting.jms.broker.socket-timeout-ms = 10
  6. When upgrading from version 8.4 or newer, depending of the location of your Accounting Service secret key you may need to copy the file from the older version. NOTE: The secret key must be the same during the entire reporting period which is a month, see Accounting Service security. Example (use the path you have set in the configuration):

    Code Block
    cd /usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso-old
    cp --parents accounting/config/accounting-service.secret ../ubilogin-sso
  7. Copy the following files and directories (recursively) from the previous installation to the matching ubilogin-sso directory. Note that Tomcat, Ubisecure SSO, and Accounting Service logs are retained. Let overwrite existing files or add flags -fn for the cp commands.

    When upgrading from versions 8.4 or newer, please notice that the Accounting Service custom configuration file:

    Code Block
    /usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso-old/ubilogin/custom/accounting/config/application.yaml

    which will copied with the copy statements below is not compatible with the newer version located at

    Code Block
    /usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso/ubilogin/config/accounting/config/application.yaml

    You need to check the following settings and manually convert them the corresponding new ones

    Since version 8.7:     server.use-forward-headers  →  server.forward-headers-strategy

                                        logging.file  →  logging.file.name

    Since version 9.0:     logging.file.max-history →  logging.logback.rollingpolicy.max-history

    See also Accounting Service additional configuration.

    Code Block
    cd /usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso-old
    cp -r --parents ubilogin/custom/* ../ubilogin-sso
    cp --parents ubilogin/config.index ../ubilogin-sso
    cp -r --parents ubilogin/methods/* ../ubilogin-sso
    cp -r --parents ubilogin/logs/* ../ubilogin-sso
    cp -r --parents accounting/logs/* ../ubilogin-sso
    cp -r --parents tomcat/logs/* ../ubilogin-sso
    cp --parents ubilogin/webapps/cdc/WEB-INF/config.properties ../ubilogin-sso
    cp --parents ubilogin/webapps/ROOT/robots.txt ../ubilogin-sso
  8. Check Password application

    NOTE:

    Password: Check from the current installation if Password application is enabled. To check, examine the file

    Code Block
    /usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso-old/tomcat/conf/server.xml

    If the path /password is not commented out, Password application has been enabled in the previous installation.

    Skip this step if the Password application is not enabled.

    Copy the following files and directories from the previous installation to the matching ubilogin-sso directory:

    Code Block
    /usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso-old/ubilogin/webapps/password/WEB-INF/password.properties
    /usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso-old/ubilogin/webapps/password/WEB-INF/saml2

    Edit /usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso/ubilogin/config/tomcat/conf/server.xml and uncomment following line:
    <Context path="/password" docBase="${catalina.base}/webapps/password"/>

    Also check /usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso-old/ubilogin/webapps/password/WEB-INF/web.xml for mail.smtp.host and mail.smtp.from configuration and copy those to new web.xml (/usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso/ubilogin/webapps/password/WEB-INF/web.xml)

  9. Check Common Domain Cookie Discovery

    NOTE:

    Common Domain Cookie Discovery

    Check from the previous installation if Common Domain Cookie Discovery has been enabled.

    To check, examine the file

    Code Block
    /usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso-old/tomcat/conf/server.xml

    If the path /cdc is not  commented out, Common Domain Cookie Discovery has been enabled in the previous  installation.

    If Common Domain Cookie Discovery has been enabled prior to the upgrade, re-enable the settings after upgrade according to the Common Domain Cookie Discovery document.

  10. Run the setup script:

    Tip

    Before running the setup script check if you want to preserve some of the settings that may otherwise be regenerated, see: Preserve essential configuration settings in upgrade.

    Code Block
    cd /usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso/ubilogin
    ./setup.sh
  11. After the setup script, you may still need to check some files from the backup folder if you have customised them. Compare the files under /usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso-old with the ones under /usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso and copy the necessary changes from:

    Code Block
    /usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso-old/ubilogin/webapps/uas/WEB-INF/uas.properties
    /usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso-old/ubilogin/webapps/totp/WEB-INF/application.yaml
  12. When upgrading from version 8.3.x or older, install and prepare PostgreSQL server. Since SSO version 8.4 with Accounting Service feature access to PostgreSQL database is required for the service to run. If you have already installed Ubisecure CustomerID you can use the existing PostgreSQL installation but you need to create a specific database for this purpose. The necessary tables are automatically created during the initial startup of the Accounting Service.

    See PostgreSQL preparation on Linux for more information and steps to accomplish.

  13. When upgrading from version 8.6 or older, upgrade PostgreSQL server (for supported versions, see System Recommendations) following PostgreSQL official upgrade documentation at https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/upgrading.html .
    We have created Knowledge Base "How-to" article with information how we have tested the upgrade and also include estimated migration times. See Upgrade and migrate to new version of PostgreSQL

  14. For clustered environment check that you have configured OpenLDAP replication in the following files as currently advised: /usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso-old/ubilogin/ldap/openldap/ldap_server_list.conf and /usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso-old/ubilogin/ldap/openldap/ldap_peer.conf, see OpenLDAP clustering: Install node 1. If not add the settings into these files before continuing with the OpenLDAP installation. (Please remember that now this node old NODE2 will be new NODE1 , add configuration details keeping this in mind)
    You can copy these files from old installation directory and make needed changes as now NODE2 from old configuration will be NODE1 in new upgraded installation.

    Code Block
    /usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso-old/ubilogin/ldap/openldap/ldap*.conf
  15. If you have a clustered environment repeat the step advised in OpenLDAP clustering: Install node 1 and modify /usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso/ubilogin/config/settings.sh. Replace <node1-hostname> with your hostname.

    Code Block
    ADD the following new line below the line reading "esac"
    LDAP_LISTEN_URLS="ldap://<node1-hostname>:389 $LDAP_LISTEN_URLS"
  16. Remove old OpenLDAP installation and Restore the Ubisecure Directory from the backup

    Code Block
    ./ldap/openldap/remove.sh
    ./ldap/openldap/install.sh --no-initdata
    su ubilogin -c "/usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso/openldap/libexec/slapd -T add -f "/usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso/openldap/etc/openldap/slapd.conf" -l /home/ubilogin/database.ldif"
  17. Start the ubilogin-directory daemon:

    Code Block
    systemctl start ubilogin-directory
  18. Important: Add new entries and update LDAP secrets into OpenLDAP, ignore warnings about e.g. existing entries

    Code Block
    ./ldap/openldap/import-changes.sh
  19. When upgrading from version 8.3.x or older, configure Accounting Service

    Before continuing with the installation which will start the Accounting Service you need to enter and save the secret key contents in the location referred by accounting.secret-key-location in unix.config. See Accounting Service security about the usage of the key for pseudonymisation. The page contains a suggested script to create a secure enough secret in the default location.

    You may also customise other Accounting Service configuration settings for your needs, which is recommended. See Accounting Service additional configuration about the properties to set.

    When customising edit this file which is copied from the installation package by the setup script: /usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso/ubilogin/custom/accounting/config/application.yaml

  20. Reinstall SSO Tomcat and Accounting Service configuration and start the services. Since version 8.4 remove should be done before installation directory is replaced (see step 3.). About Accounting Service (ubisecure-accounting) start see also Linux single node installation.

    Code Block
    cd /usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso/ubilogin
    ./config/tomcat/install.sh
    systemctl start ubisecure-accounting
    systemctl start ubilogin-server
  21. When upgrading from version 8.8.x or older, import initial key.

    This operation needs to be done only once when upgrading from version 8.8.x or older to version 8.9.x or newer, and should not be done for any follow-up updates from 8.9.x or newer to newer versions.

    Server signing and decryption key management was updated for SSO 8.9 and the initial signing and decryption key generated during SSO setup must be imported manually in the new location in Ubilogin Directory.

    Code Block
    cd /usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso/ubilogin
    ./ldap/openldap/import.sh ./ldap/initial-key.ldif
  22. The system upgrade is complete. For the new Java installation you need to import SSO certificate to Java trust store. See also other steps in Single node installation finalization.

    NOTE:  If you have Ubisecure CustomerID installed, you need to copy the Authorizer files at this point. For instructions, please see Related tasks when upgrading SSO in Linux - CustomerID.

  23. Remove the backed up ubilogin-sso-old directory, or rename and retain it as desired.

  24. Clear your web browser’s cache before accessing the user interface.

    This installation is now ready to serve traffic and will act as SSO New Active Node NODE1as SSO Active Node (Node1) , now we need to migrate data before we switch traffic to this upgraded SSO Node.

Data Migration : Start Maintenance/Service Window

  1. Stop the daemons that are running in old Active Node (SSO Node1) and Newly upgraded SSO Node (New Active Node) :

    Code Block
    /etc/init.d/ubilogin-server stop
    /etc/init.d/ubilogin-directory stop
    /etc/init.d/ubisecure-accounting stop
  2. Take a backup from Ubisecure Directory of the old SSO Node1

    Code Block
    /usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso/openldap/libexec/slapd -T cat -f "/usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso/openldap/etc/openldap/slapd.conf" -l /home/ubilogin/database.ldif
  3. Clean up data directory from New SSO Node1 (Newly upgraded Node)

    Code Block
    cd /usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso/openldap/var/openldapm-db/cn=Ubilogin,dc=sso,dc=example,dc=com  
    (delete all files inside)
    rm -rf *

  4. Move backup taken in Step2 to New SSO Node1

  5. Import data from backup file to New SSO Node1

    Code Block
    /usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso/openldap/libexec/slapd -T add -f "/usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso/openldap/etc/openldap/slapd.conf" -l /home/ubilogin/database.ldif

  6. Start the ubilogin-directory daemon:

    Code Block
    systemctl start ubilogin-directory
  7. Important: Add new entries and update LDAP secrets into OpenLDAP, ignore warnings about e.g. existing entries

    Code Block
    cd /usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso/ubilogin
    ./ldap/openldap/import-changes.sh

    Now start ubilogin-Also, import initial-key

    Code Block
    cd /usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso/ubilogin
    ./ldap/openldap/import.sh ./ldap/initial-key.ldif

  8. Now start ubilogin-server and ubisecure-accounting service.

    Code Block
    systemctl start ubilogin-server
    systemctl start ubisecure-accounting

  9. Verify logs and login into SSO management console

  10. If everything looks ok, - switch traffic to this upgraded node .

End Maintenance/Service Window


Upgrade SSO Old Node1 (Old Active Node)

Please note, we will be upgrading old NODE1 to make it a new NODE2 (Passive Node). We will refer this old Node1 as Node2 here onwards.

Preliminary Tasks

  1. Now all the Service daemons are already in stopped state in SSO Node2.

  2. For the version to be removed, make sure you still have Java 8 installed and JRE_HOME and JAVA_HOME set

  3. Remove SSO and Accounting Service daemon configurations

    Code Block
    cd /usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso/ubilogin
    ./config/tomcat/remove.sh
  4. Replace Java installation with Java 11

    1. Remove Java 8 installation and Delete JRE_HOME environment variable , as we do not need that with Java 11 installation.

    2. Install Java 11 and set JAVA_HOME according to Installation requirements - SSO

Upgrade on Node2 (Old Node 1

...

)

Copy SSO node 1 installation(upgraded Node) to Node2

On Node2, create ubisecure folder and copy the ubilogin-sso folder from Node 1 to Node2.

...

Code Block
systemctl start ubisecure-accounting
systemctl start ubilogin-server

Configuring LDAP failover

Each Ubisecure SSO can be configured to connect to the LDAP directory on the other node in case the local directory cannot be reached. This is recommended if SSO and the directory are run on separate servers. If SSO and directory are run on the same server (default configuration), LDAP failover is not always desired. In this case this chapter can be skipped.
