shield/6.1.0

You can find the source of this version on GitHub at starkandwayne/shield-boshrelease. It was created based on the commit c014b267.

Release Notes

Core Enhancements

  • Properly handle secure redirection from insecure endpoints. If you target a SHIELD over a non-HTTPS endpoint, the CLI will wait to see if it gets redirected to an HTTPS endpoint before sending any credentials. Fixes shield/#151.
  • Authentication now produces more helpful debugging and diagnostic information, to assist site operators in troubleshooting their auth setup.
  • Users can now be granted access to SHIELD based on UAA credentials and their role assignments / memberships.

Bug Fixes

  • Fix a bug in the timespec scheduling logic for weekly jobs that would cause 60 separate tasks (one per second) to fire off when the weekly backup was to be run.
  • Rename nginx.ssl_cert property to nginx.ssl_crt, so that custom certificates will work with SHIELD.
  • Fix an off-by-one bug in the Web UI that was causing dates in May to display as dates in April (for example).

S3 Plugin Enhancements

  • The s3_host configuration option is now optional, and defaults to using Amazon’s s3.amazonaws.com endpoint.
  • The prefix configuration option is now optional, allowing backups to be placed directly in the root
  • The skip_ssl_validation configuration option now defaults to false (i.e., actually verify certs received from S3)
  • The socks5_proxy configuration option now displays in validation output.

Postgres Plugin Enhancements

  • Now supports backing up a single database on a cluster, via the pg_database configuration option.
