Identity Manager 4.8.4 provides the following key functions and enhancements in this release:
In addition to the existing operating systems (OS), this service pack supports
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8.4
Open Enterprise Server (OES) 2018 SP3
macOS 11 Big Sur for Designer
NOTE:You must install Designer 4.8 and then update to 4.8.4 version. For more information, see NetIQ Designer Setup Guide for macOS 11.
This service pack supports new version of Docker with Identity Manager Containers. The supported version is 20.10.6.
Identity Applications includes the following enhancement:
A new driver configuration property is introduced in the User Application Driver to automatically remove the login entry from the oidpInstanceData attribute when it reaches the size limit of 16 KB. The Enable oidpInstanceData attribute clean-up property is prompted for configuration while upgrading the User Application Base package to the latest version 4.8.4.20210706230504. By default, the value is set to true. For more information, see Modifying the User Application Driver Properties in the NetIQ Identity Manager - Administrator’s Guide to Designing the Identity Applications.
NOTE:NetIQ recommends that you do not configure this property when OSP and Identity Applications are configured on different Tomcat instances using different port numbers. This known limitation will be addressed in an upcoming release of the User Application driver.
Identity Manager containers includes the following enhancements:
This release provides an option to mount a directory and use the mount directory for storing all the common dependent files. In other words, it allows you to place the following dependent files in the mount directory and use those files within containers.
Driver RPM files for patching drivers to the required version
Third-party JAR files or any other dependent files
This allows you to perform a seamless update of containers without any manual intervention. This capability is currently supported for Identity Manager Engine and Remote Loader containers only.
For more information, see Handling RPM Updates and Third Party Files in the NetIQ Identity Manager 4.8.4: Installation and Upgrade Guide.
This release allows you to start the Remote Loader instances automatically when the Remote Loader containers are deployed and brought up. You must create a startup file and place the file in the shared volume. The startup file that you create must be passed as an environment variable while deploying the Remote Loader container.
For more information, see Starting Remote Loader Instances Automatically With Remote Loader Container Deployment in the NetIQ Identity Manager 4.8.4: Installation and Upgrade Guide.
