Below are important changes and requirements when upgrading from EJBCA 7.11 to EJBCA 7.12.

For upgrade instructions and information on upgrade paths, see Upgrading EJBCA. For details of the new features and improvements in this release, see the EJBCA 7.12 Release Notes.

Database Changes

A new column invalidityDate has been added to CertificateData and NoConflictCertificateData. If your EJBCA database user does not have ALTER TABLE privileges, you will need to run the ALTER commands in the upgrade scripts.

Behavioral Changes

Auto-enrollment LDAP Connection Timeout

The timeout for LDAP connections to Active Directory is now configurable per auto-enrollment alias and the default is set to 5 seconds. Previously the default JDK connection timeout was used which caused unnecessarily long timeouts, blocking enrollment attempts.
