Publisher License

Starting with Publisher 5.0.8, a license file is needed for running the application. 

After the license file is obtained, it needs to be placed in the publisher.home folder. 

Changes in default password properties

With the upgrade to Spring Framework 5.0 the password storage has undergone a major change to provide more secure defaults. This means that passwords are now stored in an encrypted way by default. Existing passwords in publisher.properties should all be prefixed with {noop} to ensure that any existing plain text passwords will still work. The encryption algorithm is Bcrypt.

Please update the oauth2.secret accordingly.

Example

In Publisher 4.0.x the oauth2.secret would look like this:

oauth2.secret=123

In Publisher 4.1 you have two choices, either set the password without encryption:

oauth2.secret={noop}123

Or with BCrypt encryption:

oauth2.secret={bcrypt}$2a$04$zMrh.OEz/qDyPZnP14vMwucVpS5rTI91NZDHhW6fVG2sA.9NPGG16
