ActiveGate release notes version 1.213

With this release, the oldest supported ActiveGate versions are:

How long are versions supported following rollout?

New configuration file

When you run the update to ActiveGate 1.213, the contents of the instance.properties and multitenant.properties files are migrated to a new authorization.properties file. The instance.properties and multitenant.properties files remain as backup, but any settings applied in them won't take effect.

The change results in a new format for setting up ActiveGate for multi-environment support and Tenant token rotation, which are now both performed in the authorization.properties file.

The authorization.propertiesfile is stored in the ActiveGate configuration directory.

Reverse proxy or load balancer configuration at installation time

The configuration parameter ignoreClusterRuntimeInfo in the [connectivity] section, can now be specified during ActiveGate installation for Linux or Windows, to facilitate immediate connection to a reverse proxy or a load balancer.
