Release highlights

This release focuses on introduction of the following new features and improvements:  

SSO key rotation

With the increasing number of applications integrated in each customers SSO application and the manual work needed to update security keys in the platform, we have introduced possibility for SSO to handle multiple signing and encryption keys. This allows for ease of environment updating and helps facilitate re-occurring key rotations throughout the year.  Periodic key rotation is an essential form of environment security. The ease of managing SSO and integrated applications singing and encryption keys will allow you to ensure your keys are renewed on a regular basis - or in an unfortunate event that they would have come exposed outside of the system.

In SSO 8.9.0 there is the possibility to create, update and delete signing and encryption keys through SSO API. Additionally, you can make sure that the metadata is kept up-to-date with the current, upcoming and expired keys.

More details on how this works and examples on key rotation can be found from Key rotation - SSO

Patch updates for CustomerID

A new API call has been included in this release to provide small updates to the users in your system. This PATCH call validates and updates only the field(s) that you are interested in updating - compared to the PUT103 Update user call which updates all of the users attributes. 

More information about the API call can be found from REST API 2.1 PATCH 124


Some notable changes that needs to be taken into consideration in this version upgrade

IDS-399 Additional import step is needed during Windows installation and Windows/Linux upgrade of SSO to get the initial signing and encryption key in place. The "key-initial"-key can later on be rotated through the SSO API

IDS-3241 OpenID Connect registration requests now provide jwks_uri instead of static jwks

IDS-3057 Changes the way that login and email is synchronised during updates

Additionally, you will find a listing of known issues, with internal ticket references at the bottom of this page

Change log 

SSO 8.10.1

New Features

  • IDS-2671 - SSO now support Sign in with Apple. A few new parameters have been introduced to enable this integration. Check out our Configure Sign in with Apple knowledge base article
  • IDS-2117 - SSO acting as broker now supports ftn_spname for OpenID Connect methods. This parameter is enabled with FinnishTrustNetwork parameter for the method and uses the client_name specified for the application as the ftn_spname value. Read more about the configuration from OpenID Connect authentication method - SSO configurations
  • IDS-3491 - SSO OAuth 2.0 applications can be configured to overwrite the spname value configured in the system, to use the value coming from another trusted broker in the Finnish Trust Network. This is configured through the AllowFtnSpname configuration string. More details on this configuration string can be found from OAuth 2.0 integration guide - SSO
  • IDS-2979 - SSO acting as broker now support spname for SAML methods. Similar to OpenID Connect, this parameter is enabled with FinnishTrustNetwork parameter for the method and uses the client_name specified for the application as the spname value. Configuration information can be found from SAML IDP Proxy - SSO
  • IDS-3518 - SSO SAML applications can be configured to overwrite the spname value configured in the system, to use the value coming from another trusted broker in the Finnish Trust Network. This is configured through the AllowFtnSpname configuration string. More details on this configuration string can be found from SAML2 configuration - SSO
  • IDS-3006 - SSO acting as broker now support spname for Mobile PKI methods. This parameter is enabled with FinnishTrustNetwork parameter for the method and uses the client_name specified for the application as the spname value. The value is shown in the DisplayName field of schema as shown in the Installing and configuring ETSI MSS Mobile PKI - SSO

Improvements

  • IDS-3149 - A new client configuration has been added to SSO to mitigate Downgrade attacks. "require_signed_request_object" can be set to true in client metadata to require authorisation requests to be signed. See Client configuration reference - SSO for details
  • IDS-2827 - Public clients can now be configured to use PKCE without client_secret. When including "token_endpoint_auth_method": "none" in the client metadata - PKCE (code_challenge is required in the authorisation requests). Configuration information can be found from Authorization code grant and web single sign-on - SSO

  • IDS-3617 - Improvements to the TicketProtocolOAuth2Exception and TicketProtocolException loggings for OAuth2 and SAML2 applications to include client Id (where available) to easier debug where issues with application configurations. Example of new log entries extended with client Id

    SAML2 application
    2022-03-18 10:22:50,380 protocol [192.168.0.108] SingleSignOnServlet: protocol.TicketProtocolException: [saml-application] Ticket validation error: ...
    OAuth2 application
    2022-03-28 12:50:57,409 protocol ERROR [172.30.0.1] AuthorizationServlet: protocol.oauth2.TicketProtocolOAuth2Exception: [oauth2-application] Invalid ticket request: ...

Corrections

  • IDS-2059 - A correction to state value where previously if state included '%2B' it converted it to '+' in authorisation response. This is now resolved and returns the expected '%2B' in the response
  • IDS-3601 - A security vulnerability in password-reset application that allowed updating password of a user without verifying OTP code has been corrected
  • IDS-3660 - A custom redirect URI scheme previously caused failure in redirect with OAuth2 applications, this was now been resolved

SSO 8.9.3

Improvements

SSO 8.9.2

Corrections

SSO 8.9.1 was omitted due to new patch version of Log4j2 being released

SSO 8.9.0

New Features

  • IDS-399 - SSO key rotation possibilities has been enabled for SSO server
  • IDS-2956 - SSO API calls related to create, update and delete signing and encryption keys for SSO server has been included. Examples can be found from Key rotation - SSO
  • IDS-2957 - SSO API calls related to associate or remove association of signing and encryption keys with SSO server has been included. How to perform key rotation in SSO can be found from here
  • IDS-2961 - SSO API call to get certificate signing request for a specific key. This CSR is forwarded to a CA for signing and later on associated back to the specific key
  • IDS-2962 - SSO API call to store the signed certificate with a specific key. Only one certificate is allowed for a key, if there are multiple available in the body, the first will be read and the others will be ignored
  • IDS-2964 - New and/or updated signing and encryption keys are published in OpenID Provider JWKS when changes are detected. All non-expired signing keys and one valid encryption key is shown in the metadata.jwks. The scheduler is run every minute to check for changes
  • IDS-2963 - New and/or updated signing and encryption keys are published in SAML2 IdP Metadata when changes are detected. All non-expired signing keys and one valid encryption key is shown in the Metadata. The scheduler is run every minute to check for changes. Each valid key is provided twice in the SAML2 IdP Metadata, once inside IDPSSODescriptor element and once inside SPSSODescriptor element
  • IDS-2970 - New and/or updated signing and encryption keys are published in WS-Federation IdP Metadata when changes are detected. All non-expired signing keys and one valid encryption key is shown in the FederationMetadata. The scheduler is run every minute to check for changes
  • IDS-3241 & IDS-3242 - Client registration request provides jwks_uri instead of static jwks to better support key rotation

Improvements

  • IDS-1486 - A documentation pages for diag log description has been created to match the audit log description pages, for easier use by developers. 
  • IDS-2757 - id_tokens are included in refresh_token grant responses when "openid" is included in the scope. Extending the requested scopes with additional claims after the refresh token has been created will not fetch additional information. More information can be found from Authorization code grant and web single sign-on - SSO
  • IDS-3303 - Password application IDP metadata is automatically updated from the IDP metadata endpoint once a minute to support key rotation. More details are available from Password application installation - SSO

Corrections

  • IDS-3125 - A Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability has been resolved in SSO error page
  • IDS-1039 - SSO UI now shows "User account is locked" for OTP List and TOTP method after a user has tried to login with invalid code 5 times (or the amount configured in login attempts). Previously the user was shown the message after they tried to login on the 6th time after the method had already been locked
  • IDS-1652 - Message shown to user that have a mismatch of password and confirmation during password change now states a clearer reason for error "Make sure the passwords match. Please try again". Previously the message stated "The new credentials were not accepted" which did not point towards the reason for not being accepted
  • IDS-3176 - SSO UI now shows "User account is locked" for Unregistered SMTP OTP and Unregistered SMS OTP method after a user has tried to login with invalid code 5 times (or the amount configured in login attempts). Previously the user was shown the message after they tried to login on the 6th time after the method had already been locked
  • IDS-2828 - ubikt.jar now generates Certificate Signing Request (CSR) file from certificate contained in unix/win32.config. An example how to use the tool can be found from Increase the SSO metadata certificate private key size
  • IDS-3109 - SSO UI and audit logs now show correct "The user account is locked" message for TOTP method when a user has input invalid OTP code too many times and their account has gotten locked. Previously the message showed "The authentication method configuration is invalid: UNSPECIFIED"
  • IDS-3014 - SSO now shows correct template when returning from an external authentication method (SAML). Previously when a user returned back to the application, the default application template was shown to the user

CustomerID 5.9.1

Corrections

  • IDS-3674 - A deviation was observed within CustomerID 5.9.0 where metadata.xml polling spawned a new polling bean for each update query. In very large deployments, this creates environment overload. This CustomerID 5.9.1 patch release fully resolves the observed polling loading issue.
    • When updating to this CID 5.9.1 patch, administrators should ensure that the SSO instance has been stopped, apply the patch and then restart SSO

CustomerID 5.9.0

New Features

  • IDS-3236 - A new API 2.1 API, PATCH124, has been created which permits updating user information without requiring validation of all existing user information.  Documentation can is available REST API 2.1 PATCH 124

Improvements

  • IDS-1206 - Role invitation messages has been updated to be optional, this can be set to required again by setting ui.role.invite.message.required = true in eidm2.properties
  • IDS-2869 - An improvement has been made for CustomerID when used with User Driven Federation (UDF). It is no longer possible for a user to register and UDF an external authentication method if their SSN is already present within the system
  • IDS-3303 - CustomerID IDP metadata is automatically updated from the IDP metadata endpoint once a minute to support key rotation in SSO. New configuration changes can be seen from Configuration changes in versions - CustomerID

Corrections

  • IDS-2234 - Reminder email is now sent to user with pending role invitation. Interval can be configured using the "renotify.roleinvitation" parameter in eidm2.properties. Previously a reminder email was not sent to the user when role invitation was done through REST API
  • IDS-2235 - Role invitation expiration email is now sent to invited user. The Administrator that invited user to the role also now gets notified if the user approved the invitation to the new role. Previously if the role invitation was done through REST API the user was not informed that the invitation had expired and the Administrator was not informed when the user approved the invitation. 
  • IDS-3153 - Custom attributes can now be emptied using REST API 2.1 (PUT103) Update User. Previously the API call did not remove the custom attribute from LDAP directory
  • IDS-2649 - Custom attribute can now be updated and emptied using REST API 1.0 (MOD004b) Update User. Previously the API call did not update nor remove the custom attribute from LDAP directory
  • IDS-2652 - Clearing username field in CustomerID UI no longer shows an internal error to the user. It is strongly recommended to use validation.json configuration for this field to set it as required if it is used as login field. See information about General properties - CustomerID and Validation configuration - CustomerID
  • IDS-3032 - Trailing space for registration name configuration in eidm2.properties no longer breaks the registration workflow. Previously the workflow was invalid. It is still recommended to not include any trailing spaces in CustomerID configuration files
  • IDS-3183 - REST API 1.0 (MOD004b) did not update a user's SSN in LDAP in all cases. This has been resolved.
  • IDS-3057 - Updating login or email through API now updates LDAP entry as well as long as the new parameter general.login.enforce.equals.email is set to false (which is default). If you want to make sure that the login is enforced to be the user's email address, this parameter can be updated to true. Read more about this new parameter in General properties - CustomerID

Known Issues

SSO

Ticket number

External description

IDS-561There is a known issue where SSO does not check the mappingURL value when creating or editing an inboundDirectoryMappings when using the SSO REST API. Directory Mappings are possible to be created, but then not opened or edited.   
IDS-608There is a known UI/UX issue where a very large site list is displayed within the SSO management UI.  This results in hard to use UI if large lists of sites are present in the SSO deployment. A possible workaround is to use an ldap editor to configure the authorization policies and groups.
IDS-941There is a known issue where unregistered SMTP OTP authentication will not permit TLS or any secure authentication.  Documentation improvement will be made to ensure proper configuration is shown if unsecure SMTP servers are required.
IDS-1030There is a known issue where running the CertAP setup.cmd in a windows environment will post errors of missing linux tags. While these errors are unsightly, they can be safely ignored.  This issue will be corrected in a future release.
IDS-1171There is a known issue when using OpenLDAP 2.4.44 when performing SSO session cleanup which will cause replication issues.
IDS-1499There is a known issue where SSO will return http 401, rather than http 400 when token introspection without an authentication header or when invalid credentials are present. 
IDS-1525There is a known issue where SSO logs will contain a stopped search warning entry when tomcat is shutdown. This error can be safely ignored.  
IDS-1526There is a known issue where SSO logs will contain a unstopped thread warning entry when tomcat is shutdown. This error can be safely ignored.
IDS-1629There is a known issue resulting in unclear error messages. When a user is configured without a phone number and SMS OTP method is added to their profile result in one of two error messages. If the SMS OTP is the only authentication method enabled, the message will be “The user account is disabled”. If there are other authentication methods enabled, the message will be “Access to the requested resource is denied”.
IDS-1648This is a known issue that only  is only present with password2. User is presented with a popup "Update: Invalid account Status" if one of the previous three passwords are used when asked to update their password. There is no known work around. 
IDS-1662The use of the following special characters when making any search will result in an internal sever error 500 and a stack trace. Symbols: + = # ; , < > Work around, administrators should not use the special symbols when naming users or searching for users.
IDS-1832There is a known issue where editing an existing authorisation policy (example case added an attribute) resulted in the alteration of ubiloginNameValue. This affects SSO 8.3.0 and later. There is no work around at this time.
IDS-1893There is a known issue if you use OpenID authentication, a user cannot access SAML or Ubilogin web applications. Work around use any other non-OpenID authentication method. If OpenID is required, then use OAuth 2.0 application.
IDS-1995When using BankID and Safari, during initial login Safari displays a 0kb file being downloaded when there is no downloaded file
IDS-2059There is a known issue where the authorisation endpoint may become corrupted if a URL contains "%b" in URL encoded format. 
IDS-2089There is a known issue where shutting down Ubisecure Accounting service on a windows server will show errors within the ids-accounting.log. 
IDS-2090There is a known issue where the SSO management UI will not filter results correctly if the filter expression is short, contains incorrect filter expressions and there are Scandinavian characters included. 
IDS-2092There is a known issue where the tomcat log will show a severe servlet warning for com.ubisecure.ss-ui.  However, this warning is due to a user repeating the same action (double clicking an item or using the back button).  This warning can be safely ignored and will be addressed in a future release. 
IDS-2094There is a known issue where disabling the main account in the SSO login directory does not disable the User Driven Federation accounts.  Users are still able to login to services with the Federated account even while the main account is disabled.   Work around: Administrators who are disabling a main login directory account should ensure that they check and disable any associated UDF accounts at the same time.  This issue will be addressed in a future release.  
IDS-2095There is a known issue that the Acccounting service generates a temp folder under Ubisecure\ubilogin-sso\accounting\temp each time it is restarted. A workaround that system administrator can do is to create a cron job that removes these folders on a regular interval.
IDS-2096

There is a known issue where attempting to use exceptionally long SAML Entity IDs will result in creation failure (larger than 64 characters) .  There is no known work around and may not be possible to resolve due to LDAP field limitations.  We will address this in a future release.  

IDS-2120There is a known issue where dual node SSO will require jndi.properties to be manually configured on the second node during SSO upgrade.
IDS-2121There is a known issue where dual node SSO will require settings.sh to be manually configured on the second node during SSO upgrade.
IDS-2260

There is a known installation issue when using SSO Password reset.  Using the installation instructions for password reset tool requires an administrator to run tomcat update.  This occasionally results in an empty context.xml file being created which causes SSO to fail when being restarted.  Workaround, repeat the run tomcat update step which will create a correct .xml file and SSO will restart.

IDS-2261There are several known issues with javascript tools when using SSO Password reset.  Similar javascript is used in UAS with no issue.  If you are experiencing password reset javascript issue, please contact Ubisecure Support referencing this internal ticket for potential work arounds. 
IDS-2314There is a known issue with passing a refresh token to token endpoint results in "invalid_grant" error, if the refresh token has been issued to an unregistered user from an authentication method having a connected Directory Service.
IDS-2315There is a known issue that SSO returns refresh token for un-registered users. This should not be done since there is no way of handling the lifecycle of the un-registered user's refresh token.
IDS-2332There is a known issue when using OpenLDAP in SSO where slapd runs out of connections to process incoming requests.
IDS-2478There is a known issue in SSO that it is not possible to have different localisations for access_denied returned by IdP and local access_denied, for example if directory user mapping fails after successful authentication
IDS-2663There is a known issue where creating a new site via a Safari browser where the site as an @ symbol in the email address will cause an error and no site will be created.  This error is not experiences with current Chrome or Firefox browsers.  As a work around please use one of these alternate browsers.
IDS-2790There is a known issue with sending in invalid formatted request to introspection endpoint returns stack trace including server version number. This can be mitigated by following our Security considerations for using reverse proxy and customising error pages with HAProxy Security considerations for production environments - SSO 
IDS-2829There is a known issue that TOTP API is unable to generate secret for user if keysize has not been configured in the method. This is mitigated by ensuring that keysize is set when creating TOTP method.
IDS-2880There is a known issue when not including the scope of a sub claim in the authorisation policy for API protection. If this is not included during the API call, the response will not include any sub claims in the introspection response. A work around is to ensure your authorisation policy include the required claims.
IDS-3092There is a known issue where Administrators are unable to alter password encoding through the SSO management UI. There is no known UI work around.
IDS-3113There is know issue after upgrading to SSO 8.8. If there were old Unregistered CIBA methods configured in the system, Administrators are unable to see the configuration information. To resolve this, Administrators are able to update the method Type from previous "Backchannel Authentication Adapter" to new "Unregistered OpenID Connect CIBA" type and restart SSO server.
IDS-3186

There is a known issue when changing password, if the current password is reused as the new password, an internal application error is shown. There is no known work around.

Shown also as CustomerID known issue.

CustomerID

Ticket number

Description

IDS-693

There is a known issue with user approvals from Users view. If there are required attributes for the approval step, these are not validated if approval is done through the Users view.

IDS-1332There is a known issue with CustomerID where it is not possible to use one email account for multiple UIDs created in CustomerID.  Work around: It is possible for the system administrator to use custom attributes holding the same email address in the second or third CustomerID UID.  
IDS-1358There is a known issue within CustomerID where an administrator applying permissions across a whole organization will result in a failure of CustomerID to initialise.  Work around: Admins should ensure that they do not apply permissions to an entire organisation, but apply the permission to a specific organisation class.  All classes within an organisation may have the permission added, but not to the whole organisation at the same time, during the same commit.
IDS-1365There is a known UI improvement for lists of Users and Roles for CustomerID administrators.  Currently the lists are not ajax based, which means that cannot be called via popup, unlike other lists seen in CustomerID Admin UI.  While this does not cause an error, it is not ideal from a usage point of view.
IDS-1373There is a known issue in CustomerID when a new user is created in a non-virtual organisation, the invitation can contain a role when no role has been approved for that user.  
IDS-1380There is a known issue with CustomerID organisational attributes where the UI validation (validation.json) is not utilised.  This impacts MOD001, POST100, PUT101 and MOD003.  Using the API calls will result in good responses, but no organisational attribute change will be made.  
IDS-1382There is a known issue within CustomerID mandates where no email is sent to the user or organisation when the configuration is set to false ( mandate.receiver.approval = false), even though the administrator requests a mail to be sent.  No error or warning screen is displayed.
IDS-1389There is a known usage limit in CustomerID Mandates. When viewing a mandate, currently only the role is shown. It would be more user friendly to show both the role and its organisation within the mandate view. There is no workaround. 
IDS-1411There is a known issue within the CustomerID XML schema ID, if an administrator makes an error and reuses and existing variable ID, this second use of the variable ID will not be assigned but the organisation will still be created.  No error is reported.  This can cause troubleshooting and usage errors.  Workaround: Administrators should ensure that variable IDs are unique prior to creating new variable IDs within the system installation.
IDS-1413There is a known error in CustomerID mandates if the mandate name is longer than 61 characters. If longer than 61 characters, creating the mandate will fail. Workaround: Do not create mandate names longer than 61 characters. 
IDS-1418There is a known issue with CustomerID REST API MOD008. If an administrator removes a single mandate role from a user with multiple mandate role, the original (removed) mandate template still exists within the LDAP database. This can result in troubleshooting errors and database checking errors (backup, etc). 
IDS-1419

There is a known issue with CustomerID REST API MOD021 when creating a new user. Even when the API call appears to work, the user is not added to the organisation. Workaround: Do not use REST MOD021 (modification) during the creation of a new account. Please ensure you use create APIs when making new users. 

IDS-1446There is a known issue when using CustomerID REST API MOD009 to create a new user. The API will return 200 OK even when the new user password is not set; this results in a failed account creation. Workaround: Do not use REST API MOD009 (modification) to create a new user account. Please ensure you use create APIs when making new users. 
IDS-1463There is a known issue when using the CustomerID lost password recovery wizard where the wildfly server will log an exception in the error log. The password reset works correctly for the end user, but the resulting log file is cumbersome for large deployments where end users often reset their passwords. The error exceptions can be safely ignored, these will be corrected in a future release.
IDS-1468There is a known issue caused by an Administrator altering the name of an Organisation when a new user has registered but not yet been approved. An application error occurs and is logged. Workaround: To avoid this only change an organization name when the pending user view is empty.
IDS-1474There is a known issue that results in unsaved organisational custom attributes occurring when approval is set to false; attributes are saved when they should not be. 
IDS-1476There is a known issue within User DrivenFederation (UDF) of a social login during registration. If a user attempts to register more than one social login (UDF) against an external account a warning error message is presents. Resolution will be to provide the user a message explaining that they have already UDF'd a social account to this internal account and it is not possible to register a second social account.  
IDS-1478There is a known issue that results in a null pointer exception with stack trace if a user attempts Self Service User Driven Registration (UDF) of a social login account when UDF is not enabled within the CustomerID service.
IDS-1494There is a known issue that causes occasional error pages to be displayed when a user logs out of their federated (User Driven Federation, UDF) social login account.
IDS-1504This known issue is a regression. When a user is invited to multiple roles, only one role appears in the invitation screen. This impacts both CustomerID Admin UI and user Self-Service. 
IDS-1509There is a known issue where a new user being invited to a virtual organisation the CustomerID administrator cannot approve the user; an internal server error occurs.   
IDS-1555There is a known issue where the mandate tab cannot be accessed on the CustomerID UI if the localisation information is incomplete. Workaround is to ensure that all localisation fields are completed. 
IDS-1681There is a known issue where the cursor focus remains in the mobile text field after a user has selected the email confirmation, when both email and mobile confirmations are required. 
IDS-1706There is a known issue with null values (DbAssignable.set and DbAssignable.isNull) which may result in NullPointer exceptions when using REST calls. This impacts Roles, Mandates and Invitations.
IDS-2033Search response when using the CustomerID authoriser rule will return duplicate entries if capitalisation is present in the searched term or in the database field. In the future, no duplicates will be returned even if capitals are used or present in the naming field. Example: friendlyName and friendlyname. 
IDS-2091There is a known issue that the "New Organization" field in the "Open user applications" approval tab sometimes shows incorrect status
IDS-2093There is a known issue that listing of users doesn't take into considerations users that are in locked status
IDS-2162There is a known issue in CustomerID within Mandates, where no renotify email is sent to the administrator when an existing user requests a mandate for an existing additional organisation. No email is sent to Administrators for approval and no errors are logged. There is no workaround for this issue.
IDS-2201There is a known issue in CustomerID where an email to a user with a single expiring or expired role will have all open roll invitations listed in the email, not just the expiring or expired role invitation.  
IDS-2205There is a know issue in user registration where the "Mobile input field was not confirmed" error message is left in the UI even after the user has verified their mobile number if they have other invalid fields to correct
IDS-2207There is a known issue in CustomerID where interrupting the creation of a pending user will reset localisation of the browser session. 
IDS-2231There is a known issue when Administrator denies a role request for a user, that user gets two emails sent to them. One stating "Role invitation denied" and a second one stating "Role denied". 
IDS-2233There is a known issue in CustomerID API 1.2 REST call MOD025 "Create Role Invitation" related to email notification. If this REST call is used, the inviter mail address configured does not get a notification when the end-user approves the received role. The notification still works if role invitations are done through the GUI.
IDS-2290There is an issue opening approval tab under main organization branch if there are around 10 000 sub-organizations. As a workaround, you can choose not to use recursive selection by adding "admin.approvals.recursive.selection.default = false" to you eidm2.properties file. See also: IDS-2310 below.
IDS-2310There is an issue searching roles under main organization branch if there are around 10 000 sub-organizations. As a workaround, you can choose not to use recursive roles by adding "ui.organization.roles.recursive = false" to you eidm2.properties file. See also: IDS-2290 above.
IDS-2311There is a known issue in approval view where changing main organization for a pending user in a sub-organization fails to create the new sub-organization in LDAP. This will need to manually be resolved by removing the invalid sub-organization in SQL
IDS-2312There is a known issue in approval view where changing technical name of an organization to include Scandinavian letters doesn't work.
IDS-2420There is a known issue in registration when pressing Enter without filling in all required fields causes registration to get cancelled instead of highlighting the required fields needed to complete the registration. Identified in CID 5.3.5
IDS-2683There is a known issue where CID REST API's 2.0 and 2.1 do not locate organisations with URL encoded characters in their names.  Work around, if possible, ensure there are no URL encoded characters within organisation names. (example Ä Ö Å). 
IDS-2703There is a known issue where a role name with different case can be created which results in one LDAP entry and two SQL entries.
IDS-2712There is a known issue where an internal error is shown and stack trace is logged when a user registers with the same organisation name as an existing organisation but in a different case. Example. "UBISECURE" when "Ubisecure" already exists.  
IDS-2713There is a known issue impacting Windows server installations, where the import and export tools fail to move users between CustomerID 5.3.x and later versions. 
IDS-2814There is a known issue where Self Service will not open a user control window if the UDF (user driven federation) link refers to an obsolete authentication method.  For example if the external identity has switched from SAML to OIDC.  An exception is presented. There is no work around at this time. 
IDS-2816There is a known issue which will create an unhandeled exception if the users SMTP server cannot be resolved.  This issue will cause a database collision issue which may prevent the same email address from being used, as it already exists within the database but not in a fully created form.

Considerations and limitations

SameSite cookie changes in Google Chrome

In Google Chrome version 80 and above, the default behaviour of cookies that are used in cross-domain use cases have changed. If your applications or services are communicating between different top-level domains you need to take the following actions as described in our SameSite cookies changes technical announcement to ensure that they continue to operate as before.

Long Certificates Require Manual Installation in Linux Version 

When a certificate is set in suffix.pfx, whose base64 encoded string is longer than about 4000 characters, the installation of SSO ends in a failure. This is due to an issue with an OpenLDAP tool ldapmodify, which is unable to read lines longer than 4096 characters long and the installation script writes the base64 encoded certificate in one line in secrets.ldif. To address this issue, a tool ldiffold.sh was included with SSO 7.1.0 linux version, which wraps given ldif file so that it no longer contains lines that are too long. It can be run as follows:

cd /usr/local/ubisecure/ubilogin-sso/ubilogin/ldap
../../tools/misc/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 

When installing Ubisecure SSO in High Availability mode, there are some restrictions due to some protocol requirements when using SAML 2.0. Please refer to the Ubisecure Clustering document for more information.

Backwards compatibility issues

Swedish BankID Authentication Adapter

For installations of SSO 8.4.1 through 8.7.0, the Swedish BankID Mobile authentication adapter has to be configured using the JWKS key id (kid) exposed in the SSO JWKS metadata. See Installing and configuring Swedish BankID - SSO for more details.  It should be noted that Swedish BankID have altered several details of their authenticator, as we strongly recommend using their latest application.

To use all current Swedish BankID features and functions, you are required to use SSO 8.8.0 with CIBA authenticator 1.1.1. 

SQL directory and OTP printout or TOTP

With SSO 8.8.0, if you have users coming from SQL directory and you are using OTP printout or TOTP, you need to add LegacyUserCredentialsTable compatibility flag to the method and restart SSO server to make sure it takes affect.
