Upgrading the SAML Session Provider from 1.13.x to 1.14.x

Your system must meet these requirements:

  • Infor Federated Service in use is version 12.0+, either Infor Xi Platform or InforOS.

  • The SAML Session Provider property pointing out the base URL using https (ifs.service.https.url) for the IFS web services is correct.

  • The current SAML Session Provider version prior to the upgrade is 1.13.41 or later.

  • The ION Grid version must be 11.1.13.0.90 or later.

Upgrading the SAML Session Provider using LifeCycle Manager

  1. In LifeCycle Manager, select Applications tab. Expand the ION Grid installation and select the SAMLSessionProvider 1.13.x installation for that Grid.
  2. 2. Right-click on SAMLSessionProvider and select "Upgrade SAML Session Provider to version 1.14".
    Note: During upgrade initialization, LifeCycle Manager gathers the Grid properties. The upgrade will fail if the Grid becomes unresponsive.
  3. Both current and new application versions are displayed along with the upgrade requirements in the Upgrade SAML Session Provider step. Click Next…

    The connection to IFS and the IFS version are validated to make sure that the IFS version is supported by SAML Session Provider 1.14. The "IFS admin password" field must be provided because it cannot be read from the Grid properties. Make sure that the other properties are valid.

    1. If the IFS fqdn, https port, or admin user is not correct, quit the upgrade and change the existing SAML Session Provider properties to the correct values.
    2. Click Next...

      The connection to IFS will be tested and the IFS version validated to be supported by SAML Session Provider 1.14.

  4. In the Summary window click Finish to start the upgrade.
