Upgrade 12.6.8 to 12.6.9

Introduction

Goal

Upgrade a Bloomreach Experience Manager implementation project from version 12.6.8 to 12.6.9.

Upgrade Steps

Remove Login Page Captcha Configuration

As of Bloomreach Experience Manager 12.6.9, the captcha has been removed from the login page. Therefore, if your implementation project configured any of the following two configuration properties at the node /hippo:configuration/hippo:frontend/login/login/loginPage, they should be removed to prevent errors being logged during bootstrap after upgrading to 12.6.9.

• use.captcha
• show.captcha.after.how.many.times

Update Customized Login Page

If your implementation project contains any login page customizations, those may need to be updated when upgrading to 12.6.9.

As of Bloomreach Experience Manager 12.6.9, the SimpleLoginPlugin has been removed. The DefaultLoginPlugin, which extended SimpleLoginPlugin prior to 12.6.9, now extends LoginPlugin directly. If your implementation project extended SimpleLoginPlugin, it should be updated to extend DefaultPlugin instead.
