Liferay Cloud now provides CI/CD support for Client Extensions on Liferay PaaS. Developers can integrate Client Extensions into their Git-based CI/CD pipelines, ensuring automatic builds and deployments alongside core Liferay services. This update enables automated validation, independent deployments, and faster release cycles for Client Extensions.

Highlights:

• Dedicated CI/CD Pipeline: Separate build pipeline for Client Extensions to prevent conflicts with core Liferay services.

• Automated Builds: Every commit triggers a new Client Extensions build, packaged as a LUFFA archive.

• Independent Deployments: Client Extensions builds deploy separately, improving release flexibility.

• Seamless Integration: Works with existing Git-based workflows on Liferay PaaS.

• Zero Downtime Deployments: Deploy client extensions without affecting the main Liferay service.

The SSL Certificate Management view now provides expiration alerts for certificates nearing expiration (e.g., within 30 days) and those that have already expired. Certificates must now be defined exclusively through the LCP.json file, simplifying management and ensuring consistency across deployments. This update reduces manual errors and ensures secure and uninterrupted deployments.

Highlights:

• Expiration Alerts: Notifications for certificates nearing expiration and those already expired, with clear visual indicators.

• Exclusive LCP.json Configuration: Certificates can only be defined through the LCP.json file.

• Improved Visibility: Organized list view showing certificate names, types, associated domains, and expiration dates.

• Proactive Management: Tools and alerts to help users maintain secure SSL/TLS configurations.

The vendor has deprecated OpenSSO/OpenAM, so there's no reason for us to keep it. The alternative, which is PingAM can be integrated using our existing OpenID connector or SAML Authentication.

With this improvement, the Data Migration Center allows users to export and import Object Entries using CSV files. Not all field types are supported but many of the most used ones are:

Supported field types: dateandtime, date, decimal, integer, longint, longtext, precissiondecimal, richtext, text and picklist.

In order to help users, only supported fields are available for exporting at the UI. As new types are allowed, they will appear available in the UI.

SCIM provides a unified, RFC compliant way to keep user/group data in sync between different applications. Liferay is a service provider and enables clients to be connected. Through the defined RESTful APIs and schemas, clients can perform CRUD operations to keep resources in sync.

Pages served by Liferay might make use of third party cookies. In order to inform Liferay to manage them as part of the user cookie consent, now Portal developers and Content creators have a way to indicate the portal about them.

In order to make Liferay aware of them, the content creator or portal developer will need to update the markup to the following:

First, indicate the type of cookie following this format:

Second, change the markup depending on the element affected:

For example, embedding a video from a video provider, will see the markup changed in the following way:

• Before: <iframe src="..." />
• After: <iframe data-src="..." `data-third-party-cookie="CONSENT_TYPE_FUNCTIONAL"  />
