1. UCS@school-Update

This document contains the changelogs with the detailed change information for the update of UCS@school from version 5.2v4 to 5.2v5.

The change information for previous version jumps can be found at the changelog overview page.

1.1. Maintenance release to enforce an updated ID Connector

UCS@school 5.2v5 adds a preinstallation hook to enforce an updated ID Connector.

What’s new?

• Together with the 4.0.0 release of the ID Connector, administrators can now push legal guardians to the ID Broker.

• Together with the Apple School Manager Connector 5.1.1, administrators can now install the Apple School Manager Connector on a central replica node.

• Users now get an error message on the UMC if they reset a password and it fails the dictionary word policy.

Warning

If you have the ID Connector App installed, you must first update it, before updating to UCS@school 5.2v5

1.2. General notes on the update

During the update, services within the domain may fail. For this reason, the update should be performed within a maintenance window. It is generally recommended to install and test the update in a test environment first. The test environment should be identical to the production environment.

Please note that depending on the size of the UCS@school environment, this update may take longer than usual to complete. This is because additional LDAP structures for new role Legal Guardians need to be created and LDAP indices must be updated.

1.3. Update process

Major updates for UCS@school are released in the Univention App Center as a standalone app update. Minor updates and bug fixes (errata for UCS@school) that do not require interaction with the administrator are released in the repository of the already released app version of UCS@school. The changelog documents that Univention issues with each UCS@school app version are then expanded accordingly with a new section that shows which packages were released at what time and which errors were fixed in the process.
