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:
- Edit C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Centro\Configuration\appSettings.config.
- Find and remove the duplicate LDAP.ActiveDirectory.rootURL value.
- Save.
- 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.
