Portal Platform Release Notes
=============================
Version: 3.2.0
--------------
:Release Date: 2020-05-21

.. toctree::
    :maxdepth: 1

This release contains an Angular upgrade, bug fixes and security enhancements.

**New Features**

        * Angular Upgrade from 1.X to 7.0 - Portal and SDK (Backward Compatible)
        * OParent 2.0 Migration & Self Release Jobs
        * UI/TypeScript Test Coverage - (Portal Coverage 60% and SDK Coverage 63%)
        * Spring Boot Migration (Portal only/ Partially Completed)

**Bug Fixes**

        * License scan issues addressed
        * Fixed Sonar reported critical issues.

**Known Issues**
        * User management pages do not work properly. We will be addressing this in the Guilin release. So, the work around is:

           1.  If we try to add user role by navigating directly to an application, like A&AI, we are unable to add roles.
           2.  However, With Portal admin privileges a user (in this case Demo user) can navigate to User screen and select Portal/Default from the drop down.
           3.  Then update user roles for A&AI and other applications in the popup.
           4.  We validated that this operation is correctly updating the role in AAF.

**Security Notes**

        * Closed HTTP Ports (Portal, SDK)
        * Address Security Vulnerabilities from Nexus-IQ (Jars and Javascript libraries)
        * Containers to run as Non-Root user: portal, portal-sdk, portal-widget

*Fixed Security Issues*

        * OJSI-97 - portal-app exposes plain text HTTP endpoint using port 8989 [`OJSI-97 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/OJSI-97>`_]
        * OJSI-105 - portal-sdk exposes plain text HTTP endpoint using port 30212 [`OJSI-105 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/OJSI-105>`_]
        * OJSI-106 - portal-app exposes plain text HTTP endpoint using port 30215 [`OJSI-106 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/OJSI-106>`_]

*Known Security Issues*

*Known Vulnerabilities in Used Modules*
        * Portal was granted a waiver by SECCOM for OJSI-190. Portal stores users passwords encrypted instead of hashed. This was not fixed for Frankfurt.

     - `Project Vulnerability Review Table for PORTAL <https://wiki.onap.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=68542388>`_

**Upgrade Notes**
        * These still apply:
           1. For https Apps onboarded to portal, a certificate has to be downloaded in the browser when first trying to access the landing page of the App.
           2. For onboarded Apps using http (since Portal is using https) the browser asks the user to click to Proceed to the unsafe URL.
           3. For onboarded Apps using http the icon in the URL bar will appear red, click on it and allow unsafe scripts. Different browsers use different methods to accomplish this, Firefox has a security icon near the URL that you can click on "Unblock" and "Disable protection for now"
           4. The first time some apps are selected in the Applications panel, an error stating the webpage might be temporarily down, copy the presented URL to a new browser; once that is done, the application will open in the Portal.

**Deprecation Notes**
        * 2.6.0 portal/sdk is the last version to support the old AngularJS UI versions.
        * Expect upgrade on Angular frontend and SpringBoot backend in next releases: The components like Policy, VID, SDC, AAI, MSB, SO – if any of them use portal/sdk java libraries, then please anticipate MAJOR changes to portal/sdk with respect to technology stack upgrade which is pending for long time on Angular frontend and SpringBoot backend.
        * The tech stack upgrade helps resolve many security vulnerabilities and also provides latest rich UI and microservices features that components can take advantage of, just by upgrading to latest portal/sdk.

**Other**
        * Below are the docker images released as part of Portal Platform project:
        * onap/portal-app:3.2.3
        * onap/portal-db:3.2.3
        * onap/portal-sdk:3.2.0
        * onap/portal-wms:3.2.3
        * portal/sdk java artifacts - (Release branch: “release-3.2.0”; Jar Version: "3.0.0")

Version: 2.6.0

    :maxdepth: 1

Maintenance release with bug fixes and security enhancements.

**No New Features**

**Bug Fixes**
        * Portal Setup - MariaDB issue.
        * Issue editing application url.
        * PORTAL-* charts now use nodePortPrefix variable.
        * Fixed Sonar reported critical issues.

**Known Issues**
        * AAI UI's new role "ui_view" is not registered in AAF, Portal cannot fetch it. So, the work around is

           1. upload new role from Bulk Upload in Portal Roles page (create a csv file which has one line like:   ui_view,10 )
           2. Sync Roles on same page
           3. Assign this ui_view role to demo account in User page
           4. Then demo user can access AAI UI app from Portal

**Security Notes**

*Fixed Security Issues*

    :maxdepth: 1

This is the official release notes for the Casablanca Maintenance Release 3.0.2.

**Known Issues**
        * The issue is an application running on HTTPS will not open in Portal if the AAF root CA is missing.
          An error message will appear in a separate tab in Portal. It will say something like:
          "The webpage at https://portal.api.simpledemo.onap.org:30200/vid/welcome.htm?cc=........ might
          be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address."
          Here is the work-around, copy above VID (or other app) URL and replace welcome.htm to login.htm
          in a new browser window; after login come back to Portal home page and click VID, it will now work.

        * For applications running on HTTP (for example SDC), the user needs to disable the security check in the browser to access the application.
