Release Notes

Enhancements

Highlight of our 1.0 GA release is our web-based lightwave UI [README] (https://github.com/vmware/lightwave/blob/dev/vmidentity/lightwaveui/README.md). It really brings everything together allowing easy configuration once you have a promoted lightwave server up and running.
This release supports three replicated Lightwave containers deployment and upgrade with host networking.

This release allows three replicated Lightwave containers working behind load-balancer (LB) for high availability. The Lightwave UI is only accessible via LB. The Lightwave containers are deployed with host networking.

We extend the container deployment to not only support host networking but also bridged networks.
Enhancement in domain leave to allow force leave even when domain controller is offline.
Service dependency fix to allow lightwave container be more resilient against abrupt host shutdown/reboot etc.

Integrated windows authentication support: join lightwave to Active Directory (AD) allows one to register active directory as type of "native AD" to do kerberos authentication, i.e. lightwave computes user group membership same time as it authenticates the user to AD. It also allows one to use one's current logged in session to a windows box to authenticate with lightwave.
Lightwave UI fixes issue in native AD provider registration.

It is known in the latest lightwave 1.0.2, 1.0.3 releases, after lightwave container is upgraded, for instance, from 1.0.1 to 1.0.2, lightwave UI stops working. Please follow the steps to upgrade lightwave container.
1. Backup "/opt/vmware/share/config/lightwave-ui-oidc.xml" and "/opt/vmware/vmware-sts/webapps/ROOT/index.jsp" before upgrade. i.e. "Docker cp <container-name>: /opt/vmware/vmware-sts/webapps/ROOT/index.jsp"
2. Perform the upgrade on all the containers.
3. Place "lightwave-ui-oidc.xml" (from step 1) into "/opt/vmware/share/config/lightwave-ui-oidc.xml” and "/opt/vmware/vmware-sts/webapps/ROOT/index.jsp". i.e. "Docker cp index.jsp <container-name>:/opt/vmware/vmware-sts/webapps/ROOT/index.jsp"
4. Check for UI functionality.
When upgrading lightwave from 1.0GA to 1.0.3 release, lightwave UI no longer comes up. It is because tomcat 8.0.37 installs and sets JAVA_HOME to the latest version of java .i.e. OpenJDK-1.8.0.112. However, lightwave requires OpenJDK-1.8.0.102. Work-around is to simply repoint JAVA_HOME to OpenJDK-1.8.0.102, and restart 'vmware-stsd' service to resume lightwave UI.
