Product Timeline

For more details of the December 2020 release, see the blog post.

UXP Core 1.14.0

• Service providers can now add access rights to REST APIs on a more granular level. See UXPUG-SS Section “Dividing a REST API into Endpoints”.

• Security server supports defining specific endpoints for REST APIs, including dynamic endpoints like /posts/{id}.

• Service administrators can control access rights on an API endpoint level.

• Service administrators can control which HTTP operations (GET, DELETE, etc.) can each service client perform on an endpoint.

• Service providers can add HTTP headers for both REST and SOAP services. Headers can be used to configure authentication between the security server and the API.

• Security servers do not accept REST requests that include client and service identifiers in URL. The identifiers must be placed in HTTP headers. For the accepted format, see UXP-UG-SS Section “REST Request Format”.

• Security servers now have a status info service that can be used by third-party load balancers to choose a healthy target security server in a cluster setup.

• Security server can be configured to use its status information to decide whether to accept incoming requests (by default disabled). If enabled, a security server with status DOWN stops responding to HTTP(S) requests so other servers in the cluster with status UP can serve the request. This improves the reliability of a security server cluster.

• To help security server administrators with keeping all security servers in a cluster synchronized, we have added functionality to export relevant client and service information in a file. Configuration files can be imported to other security servers.

• New user guide Security Server: Configuring High Availability and Load Balancing. See UXPUG-SSHA.

• Registry server has now a new global group for all subsystems found in the global configuration. This subsystem can be used to make services available to all instance members.

• UXP metainfo services that can be used to discover service providers and their services are now available over REST requests. See UXP-PR-META.

• Added scripts that help UXP server administrators gather relevant information about current state of a server.

• Security servers and registry servers are now incompatible with UXP Monitoring server versions 1.x. Security servers will not forward monitoring information to old monitoring server.

• UXP 1.14 is incompatible with UXP Directory version 2.2 and below. Before upgrading the registry and security servers, UXP Directory must be upgraded to version 2.3 or above.

• Performance improvements on high message load.

• UI layout was changed in security server client dialog.

• Upgraded versions of third-party libraries and components to ensure security of the system.

• Multiple minor fixes and improvements.

For more details of the September 2020 release, see the blog post.

UXP Monitoring 2.3.0

• Added support for EC keys and longer (3072 and 4096 bit) RSA keys for the monitoring server TLS certificate.

• Added support for TLS 1.3 (now a default protocol) between the monitoring server and security server. TLS 1.2 is still supported for backward compatibility.

• Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is now a supported (and recommended) platform. See Ubuntu upgrade guide UXP-UPG-UB20.

• Upgraded versions of third-party libraries and components to ensure security of the system.

• Multiple minor fixes and improvements.

For more details of the August 2020 release, see the blog post.

UXP Core 1.13.0

• Added support for elliptic curve (EC) keys for software token and hardware tokens (EC keys as security server encryption keys are currently not supported).

• Added support for EC keys for nginx and internal TLS certificates.

• Added support for longer (3072 and 4096 bit) RSA keys.

• Improved TLS communication.

• Added support for TLS 1.3 (now a default protocol). TLS 1.2 is still supported by default for backward compatibility.

• Added stronger default enabled TLS cipher suites.

• It is now possible to configure enabled cipher suites for TLS communication between security server and information system.

• Improved procedure for changing the security server internal TLS certificate.

• It is now possible to change the certificate smoothly.

• It is now possible to import a certificate (generated by an external certificate authority) and the corresponding private key as a PKCS#12 keystore.

• Server side listening port between security servers is now distributed together with security server address via global configuration. It enables to change the listening port of the security server without breaking connections with other security servers. This functionality can be used only after all the registry servers and security servers of the UXP instance are upgraded to current version.

• Security server owner connection type for servers in service consumer role are now fixed to HTTPS to improve security.

• Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is now a supported (and recommended) platform. See Ubuntu upgrade guide UXP-UPG-UB20.

• Multiple minor fixes and improvements.

For more details of the April 2020 release, see the blog post.

UXP Connector 1.6

• UXP Connector keeps now an audit log. The audit log events are generated by the user interface when the user changes system state or configuration. The audit log is located at /var/log/uxp-connector/uxp-connector-audit.log. The audit log events are described in the document “UXP Connector: Audit Log Events”.

• The connection security between the UXP Connector and the UXP Security Server has been redesigned. It can be configured via the Connection Security page. This includes the following functionality:

• Connector certificate can be downloaded from the user interface.

• Connection security mode (whether the client system must be authenticated or not) can be checked from the user interface.

• Connection security mode can be turned on and off through the command line interface.

• Client system internal certificates are now called trusted certificates and are detached from a subsystem code.

• A keystore with a private key and a certificate can be generated for a client system other than security server directly in UXP Connector user interface.

• Read more in user guide section “Connection Security”.




• While running test queries through UXP Connector the query is now rolled back by default so the query has no effect on the database state. The user can choose to commit the query to keep the changes.

• Internal test queries run through Connector are now logged to query log.

• Service created using Connector must now be assigned to a WSDL file in order to be published.

• Connector users are now managed as UNIX users who belong to a special user group. Similarly to UXP Core components. Read more in user guide section “Managing Connector Administrator Accounts”.

• Connector uses now c3p0 library for connection pooling between Connector and database.

• Updated versions of JDBC drivers included with Connector.

• Reminder for MariaDB driver users: Float comparison has to be done now using the LIKE keyword instead of equals sign (=).




• Various smaller improvements and bug fixes.

For more details of the March 2020 release, see the blog post.

UXP Core 1.12

• There is a new component UXP Verifier. It can be used to view the contents of the message log stored in the security server as well as download and verify individual signed messages.

• There is new HTTP header Uxp-Transaction-ID. It is automatically generated by the security server to contain a unique value for every message mediated by the security server. The transaction ID is also saved to the message log and can be used to uniquely identify UXP messages.

• There is a new configuration option to disable saving the technical messages (monitoring and metainfo services) to message log. This can help to save disk space if there is no need create proof value for exchanges that do not involve business data.

• Java Runtime Environment is upgraded to version 11. The other third-party libraries and components are upgraded as well to ensure security and good performance of the system.

• Version 7.x of Elasticsearch and Kibana tools is now supported for local monitoring. Elasticsearch clusters are now supported.

• The old Request Statistics Document (the old format for UXP statistics) is no longer supported in local monitoring.
