1. UCS@school-Update#
This document contains the changelogs with the detailed change information for the update of UCS@school from version 5.2v7 to 5.2v8.
The change information for previous version jumps can be found at the changelog overview page.
1.1. Release 5.2v8#
What’s new?
The RADIUS 802.1X integration now uses the rewritten univention-radius-ntlm-auth helper from UCS 5.2-7 and no longer ships its own network access check (Bug #59894).
1.1.1. RADIUS 802.1X uses the rewritten NTLM authentication helper#
UCS@school 5.2v8 requires UCS 5.2-7, which ships the rewritten univention-radius-ntlm-auth helper. The separate UCS@school implementation of the network access check has been removed; the helper evaluates the UCS@school internet rules itself.
The package ucs-school-radius-802.1x activates this evaluation through the
Univention Configuration Registry Variable freeradius/auth/helper/ntlm/network-access/internet-rules/enabled.
The variable is set during the installation of the package and unset when the package is removed.
A value set by the administrator is kept during package updates.
The WLAN access decision itself does not change. For more information, see Authentifizierung des WLAN-Zugriffs über RADIUS.
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.
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.
