Installation Notes

If you have picked up the previously issued 7.6.3 and/or have had your instance manually patched by Actify support or engineering, it is unnecessary to install 7.7.0.

Important Notes

  • Organizations using LDAP and upgrading to Centro 7.7.0 may run into an issue where the LDAP.ActiveDirectory.rootURL key may be duplicated in the appSettings.config file.
    • This may cause issues and confusion when trying to run the WebApp and when importing LDAP users.
    • Work Around:
      1. Edit C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Centro\Configuration\appSettings.config.
      2. Find and remove the duplicate LDAP.ActiveDirectory.rootURL value.
      3. Save.
      4. Restart the web app.

  • Centro 7.7.0 has new permissions that govern deleting resources, changing a catalog part's project, and allowing users to manually create a catalog part.
    • In previous versions, catalog users could perform these functions.
    • In Centro 7.7.0, these permissions are defaulted as disabled; in other words, users who used these related features will not be able to use them unless their permissions have been changed accordingly.
    • Please review your organization's permissions policy surround Centro and set these accordingly.
    • See Centro 7.7.0: Additional Permissions.
