1. create a new 1.1.X project
2. copy any existing Java class you have developed for your the former 1.0.X project and make necessary adaptations
3. include any connector bundle you might have added in your the former 1.0.X project
4. configure the internal storage as done for the former 1.0.X project

Build, deploy and run

This first run will barely upgrade the existing SQL schema in the internal storage: you will notice many exceptions in the logs files, just ignore.

Once the core application has started (check this from the log files), stop the JEE container.

Perform custom SQL upgrade

At this point you need to manually perform some SQL changes according to the description above.

An example of such changes is reported in the attached sample for MySQL: the set of SQL statements you need to run vary depending on the DBMS used for internal storage.

Enable ContentUpgrader

In core/src/main/resources/syncopeContext.xml add

  <bean class="org.apache.syncope.core.init.SpringContextInitializer">
    <property name="upgrade" value="true"/>
  </bean>

Enable SyncopeMD5FallbackAuthenticationProvider

If some of existing users have MD5 passwords and you want them being able to log in without prior changing their password, modify in core/src/main/resources/securityContext.xml

  <bean id="syncopeAuthenticationProvider"
        class="org.apache.syncope.core.security.SyncopeAuthenticationProvider">
    <property name="adminUser" value="${adminUser}"/>
    <property name="adminPassword" value="${adminPassword}"/>
    <property name="adminPasswordAlgorithm" value="${adminPasswordAlgorithm}"/>
    <property name="syncopeUserDetailsService" ref="syncopeUserDetailsService"/>
  </bean>

to

  <bean id="syncopeAuthenticationProvider"
        class="org.apache.syncope.core.security.SyncopeMD5FallbackAuthenticationProvider">
    <property name="adminUser" value="${adminUser}"/>
    <property name="adminPassword" value="${adminPassword}"/>
    <property name="adminPasswordAlgorithm" value="${adminPasswordAlgorithm}"/>
    <property name="syncopeUserDetailsService" ref="syncopeUserDetailsService"/>
  </bean>

Once all of your users have changed their password, you can restore the original configuration.

SyncopeMD5FallbackAuthenticationProvider can also be taken as reference to implement more sophisticated handling of existing MD5 passwords.

Build, deploy and run

This second run should succeed without logging any exception.

You should now have full access to all Syncope features.

Stop the JEE container

Disable ContentUpgrader

In core/src/main/resources/syncopeContext.xml remove

  <bean class="org.apache.syncope.core.init.SpringContextInitializer">
    <property name="upgrade" value="true"/>
  </bean>

Build, deploy and run

This final run can be considered as definitive: only, if you configured SyncopeMD5FallbackAuthenticationProvider or similar, consider planning its removal in the near future, maybe once all users have changed their password.
