Release Notes

Enhancements

Lightwave 1.0 GA

• 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.

Lightwave 1.0.1 Patch

• 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.

Lightwave 1.0.2 Patch

• 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.

Known Issues

Lightwave 1.0.2 Patch

• It is known that 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.
