Long certificates require manual installation in Linux version
When a long certificate is set in suffix.pfx, whose base64 encoded string is longer than about 4000 characters, it causes the installation procedure to fail. This is due to an issue with OpenLDAP ldapmodify tool, which is unable to read lines longer than 4096 characters long and sso installation script writes the base64 encoded certificate in one line in secrets.ldif. To address this issue, a tool ldiffold.sh is included with sso 7.1.0 linux version, which folds given ldif file so that it no longer contains extra long line. It can be run as follows:
cd /usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso/ubilogin/ldap ../../tools/linux-x64/ldiffold.sh < secrets.ldif > secrets.ldif.tmp mv -f secrets.ldif.tmp secrets.ldif
Ubilogin ticket protocol attribute size limits
The Ubilogin Ticket Protocol uses the HTTP GET method to send authentication and authorization information from UAS to Web Agents. The HTTP GET method has a size limit. The size limit affects the amount of information it is possible to successfully send from UAS to Web Agents. The SAML 2.0 protocol resolves this size limit by using the HTTP POST method to send information from UAS to Web Agents.
Ubilogin SAML Service Providers use SAML 2.0 protocol.
Ubisecure SSO, SAML 2.0 and High Availability

Custom CSS with relative paths
The url path of ubilogin.css stylesheet file has changed in SSO 7.0.0 to /template/<template_name>/style.css. In case a custom css file with relative paths to images etc has been used, it's required to check that the relative paths work after upgrading.
Disabled users are able to login when federated with User Driven Federation
Currently the user account status in the local user directory is checked only during the initial authentication before the mapping is stored in the Federation Table. If user decides to accept the storing, account statuses are not checked for subsequent federations. This means that any user, that have been disabled in the local directory after they authenticated for User Driven Federation, can successfully login when they are federating with their remote account. This can be prevented by configuring the applications Authorization Policy so that it ensures the user is authorized only if the account is enabled. The procedure is described in UDF documentation page.
