Mandatory checks before upgrading
- If using the federation new settings are in Preferences to activate the federation or the federated login.
- For the best user experience the update should be done on all federated services at the same time if possible.
- Check if your service is running on an URI. With version 11.7 this is not possible any longer. Only base DNS names are working.
Downgrade information (optional)
- In case a downgrade to a previous version is necessary:
- Version 11.6 is forward and backward compatible to older and newer versions.
- Simply replace the PowerFolder-Server.jar file with that from the previous version you would like to run.
- Downgrading to version 11.6 deactivates the federation functionality. To activate it you have to enable the setting server.federation.login_enabled in configuration file.
- When you are using LDAP authentication and downgrading below version 11.5:
- Enter your PowerFolder.config file before starting the server.
- Delete the entries LDAP.<index>.
