2. Copy the renamed securityContext.xml file.
3. Replace the existing file with the copied file at the following location: …<ConnectServerInstallFolder>\AdeptiaServer\ServerKernel\etc\saml.
4. In case you are using SAML authentication, open the updated securityContext.xml file and do the following changes:

1. 1. Uncomment the following property:

      <!-- <property name="entityBaseURL" value="http://localhost:8080/adeptia"/> -->

   2. Update the URL as required. Where localhost is the IP address and port of the Connect Server.
   3. Uncomment the idp.xml property:
      
      
      
      
   4. If you are using Adeptia Connect with load balancer, follow these steps:
      
      • Remove or comment out the existing contextProvider bean
        <bean id="contextProvider" class="org.springframework.security.saml.context.SAMLContextProviderImpl"/>
      • Add the below contextProvider bean
        

        <bean id="contextProvider" class="org.springframework.security.saml.context.SAMLContextProviderLB">
         <property name="scheme" value="http"/>
         <property name="serverName" value="www.myserver.com"/>
         <property name="serverPort" value="8080"/>
         <property name="includeServerPortInRequestURL" value="false"/>
         <property name="contextPath" value="/adeptia"/>
        </bean>

      This table explains the each property of contextProvider bean:

      scheme	Name of the scheme (http or https).
      serverName	Name of the server.
      serverPort	Port number of the server.
      includeServerPortInRequestURL	To include server port number in the URL or not. It must be false.
      contextPath	Prefix of a URL path used to select the context(s) to which an incoming request is passed. A URL is in the format: http://hostname.com/contextPath/, where each of the path elements can be zero or more separated elements. It must be /adeptia.

      <bean id="contextProvider" class="org.springframework.security.saml.context.SAMLContextProviderLB">
       <property name="scheme" value="http"/>
       <property name="serverName" value="www.myserver.com"/>
       <property name="serverPort" value="8080"/>
       <property name="includeServerPortInRequestURL" value="false"/>
       <property name="contextPath" value="/adeptia"/>
      </bean>

   5. If there were any other changes in the old file, you have to do the same changes manually in the updated securityContext.xml file.
   6. Save the file.

Adding certificates in cacerts file

Two new certificates need to be added to the cacerts file in the application. This step is required to update the cacerts file with COMODO renewed certificates as the existing certificates of COMODO have expired.

Follow the steps below to add the certificates: 

1. Stop the Connect Server.
2. Download the following two certificates from this link. 
   • 1199354.crt
   • 1720081.crt

3. On the command prompt, run the following command to import the two new certificates to the cacerts file:

   keytool -import -file "<path_to_Certificate_file>" -keystore "<path_to_application_folder>\ServerKernel\etc\truststore\cacerts" - alias "<alias_name>" - storepass "<cacerts file password>"
   
   Where,
      path_to_Certificate_file: The location where you have downloaded the certificates. 
   path_to_application_folder: Location of the cacerts file in the Connect Server. 
   alias_name: Alias name for '1199354.crt' and '1720081.crt' are 'USERTrust RSA Certification Authority' and 'COMODO RSA Certification Authority' respectively.
      cacerts file password: Password for the cacerts file. By default, the password for the cacerts file is 'changeit'.
   
   

4. Restart the Connect Server.

Installing Fontconfig Library on Linux

This section is applicable only if you are using Connect Server in Linux environment.

In view of using open source Amazon Coretto JRE with this release, it is mandatory for you to install the Fontconfig library on the machine where Connect Server is running.
