This is a major version upgrade from 5.8.5.
IMPORTANT:
- If upgrading see Upgrade Identity Panel
- NOTE: Even though this is a major upgrade, the minor upgrade procedure may be followed after:
- Install .NET Core 6
- Review Identity Panel configuration for breaking changes (see notes below)
- If performing a clean install see Install Identity Panel
Notes:
- This should be considered a priority upgrade as Microsoft is deprecating support for .NET Core 3 in December 2022.
- After upgrading, open each Graph provider settings, press Create Certificate, and follow instructions to update Azure App with the new certificate authentication
- After upgrading, the WebAgent.exe --upgrade task must be run
- If using Uplift, this release contains breaking changes for the dlls in the MIM Extensions folder. After upgrading Panel Service, go to Identity Panel -> Settings -> Uplift, and download a new configuration package. Unblock and extract the folder, and copy all dlls into the MIM Extensions folder.
- Support for MIM Portal fixtures is removed (data scans are still supported), due to MIM SOAP not being supported in .NET 6. Following update to 6.0 MIM Portal writeback fixtures must be converted to PowerShell fixtures.
- Due to switching to .NET 6, in some cases the SQL provider no longer supports use of cliconfig SQL aliases.
- .NET 6 does not use Internet Explorer proxy settings. If a proxy bypass is required for Panel Service, edit system environment variables to add a NO_PROXY key with value: .hostname
- Version 6.0 switches all PowerShell activities from the built-in Windows PowerShell 5.1 to PowerShell Core 7 (which can use compatible modules as needed from PowerShell 5.1). Deployments using PowerShell should review the breaking changes to determine if script modifications are required: Differences between Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell 7.x - PowerShell | Microsoft Learn
- The MSOnline, and AzureAD (Connect-MSOnline and Connect-AzureAD) PowerShell modules are not supported by PowerShell Core 7. Scripts using these modules will need to be rewritten using the Microsoft Graph SDK PowerShell.
- The Identity Panel Suite drops support for Internet Explorer
