Version-dependent patch steps

To upgrade to the desired version, you must perform all applicable patch steps from the following list whose patch level is higher than the current patch level and lower than or equal to the target version.

For example, if you want to upgrade to the target version 8.0.18 and your current version is 8.0.3, you must complete all steps from patch version 8.0.4 up to and including patch version 8.0.18.

In case a patch step occurs several times, you must execute it once only (e.g., Tomcat updates).

  • BPC/Karaf has been stopped

Proceed as follows

  1. Open the file jetty.xml

  2. Locate the section "Set Response Headers"

        <!-- ==================== -->
        <!-- Set Response Headers -->
        <!-- ==================== -->
        <Call name="insertHandler">
            <Arg>
                <New id="RewriteHandler" class="org.eclipse.jetty.rewrite.handler.RewriteHandler">
                    <Set name="rules">
                        <Array type="org.eclipse.jetty.rewrite.handler.Rule">
                               ...
                        </Array>
                    </Set>
                </New>
            </Arg>
        </Call>
  3. Find the Item element "header-csp".

    1. If no such element exists add a new Item element.

  4. To the element <Set name="value"> add behind script-src the value 'unsafe-inline'.

  5. The Item element should look like this:

    <Item>
      <New id="header-csp" class="org.eclipse.jetty.rewrite.handler.HeaderPatternRule">
        <Set name="pattern">/*</Set>
        <Set name="name">Content-Security-Policy</Set>
        <Set name="value">script-src 'self' 'unsafe-eval' 'unsafe-inline'; connect-src 'self'; img-src 'self' data:; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; font-src 'self'; frame-ancestors 'self'; form-action 'self'; worker-src 'self' blob: ;</Set>
      </New>
    </Item>
  6. Safe and close the file

  7. Now you can start BPC/Karaf

8.0.21

BPC - Temporary activation to load inline JavaScript in a browser

This step is required if you are using INUBIT WebApp or INUBIT Process Interaction module in BPC and encounter problems related to JavaScript code execution.

By default, the Karaf applies CSP restrictions informing browsers to prevent inline JavaScript code execution. In order for the affected modules to work, any JavaScript must be loaded via referencing the resource properly.

As a temporary workaround the inline JavaScript execution can be re-enabled by setting a specific module property.

Enabling inline JavaScript execution is potentially a security risk. Virtimo recommends strongly to rework all JavaScript usage towards using JS files referenced from within the HTML.

Prerequisites

  • BPC is up and running

  • BPC user with admin rights is logged in

Proceed as follows

  1. Open the INUBIT WebApp modules configuration tab in BPC

Process Engine – Update H2 database

Prerequisites

The H2 database is used as an INUBIT internal database.

The use of the H2 database is not recommended for productive use.

Action

By updating INUBIT to this version, a previously used H2 database file will no longer be accessible. Therefore, the contents of this database must be backed up before patch installation.

Do the following

  1. Stop the Process Engine

  2. Back up the H2 database file with the following command:

    java -cp h2-<old-driver-version>.jar org.h2.tools.Script -url jdbc:h2:/<path-to-old-db-file>/<database-name> -user <username> -script backup.zip -options compression zip

    The file backup.zip is created, which contains the contents of the H2 database.

  3. Remove the following files:

    • <inubit-installdir>/inubit/server/ibis_root/ibis_data/database/<h2-db-file-name>

    • If present: <inubit-installdir>/inubit/server/ibis_root/log/dbh2

  4. Run the patch installer

  5. Restore the backed up H2 database content:

    java -cp h2-<new-driver-version>.jar org.h2.tools.RunScript -url jdbc:h2:/<path-to-new-db-file>/<database-name> -user <username> -script backup.zip -options compression zip

    The database file is restored from the file backup.zip at the specified path.

Using the latest script files

Action

Start the Process Engine

INUBIT is now being rolled out with JDK 17. To do this, various script files in INUBIT had to be adapted. In order to use these changes to the script files, manual adjustments are necessary.

Proceed as follows

Follow the instructions under updating script files.

Process Engine – Prevent disclosure of server information

It is considered a potential security vulnerability to leak server information (server name, version, etc.) in responses sent by a server application. This type of information has already been removed from all server responses, the only exception being the error responses.

Action

Updating the INUBIT with the patch installer also removes the server information from error responses.

The content of the server response is controlled via the <ErrorReportValve> entry in the server.xml file. For more information, see here.

Proceed as follows

  • Check the server.xml file. It should not contain an ErrorReportValve entry. If so, we recommend checking the file entry manually after running the patch installer.

  • Run the patch installer. The necessary entry <ErrorReportValve> is added or adjusted in the server.xml file.

Manual check

  • Open the server.xml file

  • Find the lines with the entry <ErrorReportValve>

  • Make sure: showServerInfo="false"

The value false indicates that no server information should be sent in error responses.

Further adjustments to the ErrorReportValve are possible. For more information, see here.

8.0.29

Only standard patch steps are required.
