  • Fixed several defects related to the SVA feature Storage Token TTL, and added support for Outlook Universal add-in. The nature of these fixes requires that this release (2.22.0.102) is the minimum version to support the Storage Token TTL feature. To enable Storage Token TTL you must upgrade your Storage Connectors to version 2.22.0.102 or later and upgrade all of the Syncplicity clients (mobile, desktop) to the minimum supported version. You can find more information about this feature in the Syncplicity StorageVault with Authentication Configuration Guide.
  • Added a new configuration parameter “syncplicity.ws.corsexposeheaders” to provide the option to change the default list of  CORS headers in the "Access-Control-Expose-Headers" header.

October 2018

Version 2.21.0.80

  • Introduced support for controlling the TTL (time-to-live) for the Storage Token used when authenticating a user to a StorageVault with SVA (StorageVault Authentication), for increased security. The SVA Storage Token can be refreshed before it expires up to the maximum refresh time, after which the user must re-authenticate to the StorageVault with SVA. Both the SVA Storage Token TTL and Max Refresh durations are set for the entire StorageVault with SVA and are configurable in the /etc/syncp-storage/syncp-storage.conf file. Further details about the Storage Token TTL feature are in the Syncplicity StorageVault with Authentication Configuration Guide . For access to this guide, contact Syncplicity Support.
  • Introduced the v3 API for the Syncplicity Storage Connector. This new version of the API supports the new SVA Storage Token TTL feature. Log into the Syncplicity Developer Portal for the updated API documentation coming in Q4 2018 at https://developer.syncplicity.com .

    https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2018:0014
  • Added support for SVA emails to use the custom email banner if setup in the Company Settings.
  • Added “Content-Range” header name to the allowed CORS headers list to enable the Syncplicity Outlook Universal add-in to upload files in chunks.
  • Added a new configuration parameter “syncplicity.ws.corsheaders” to provide the option to configure the list of CORS headers.
  • Added the following JVM options to enable better debugging and improved memory management on the Storage Connector node.
    -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -XX:HeapDumpPath=/var/log/syncp-storage/syncpstorage.hprof
    -XX:MetaspaceSize=320 -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=320m -XX:+UseCompressedOops
  • Disabled VMware Tools time synchronization since the Storage Connector users chrony for time synchronization.
  • Migrated from init.d to system.d for the syncp-storage service initialization and management.
  • Improved the comments in the /etc/syncp-storage/syncp-storage.conf file regarding storage type “fs” to give better guidance on how to configure NFS mounted storage. Also improved the setup instructions in the following article regarding configuration of the Storage Connector:
    Configure the Storage Connector

October 2017

Version 2.15.2.0

  • Fixed an issue causing the creation of shared links for an SVA-enabled StorageVault to fail.
  • Support added to enable the Syncplicity Outlook Universal to access files stored on SVA-enabled StorageVaults.

August 2017

Version 2.15.0.8

  • Support was added to pass through messages from Syncplicity Orchestration to the client to support data loss prevention (DLP) access policies. The returned message is 403 Prohibited by DLP Policy.
  • Support was added to pass through messages from Syncplicity API Gateway to custom apps to inform the app when it has exceeded the API threshold. The returned message is 429 Too many requests.
  • Fixed Support case where chunked uploads from a Syncplicity client failed when a chunk was removed from storage. This issue was tracked by the following errors in the storage connector logs:
    Orchestration request: Webservice Exception: Not Found (Service: Amazon S3;Status Code: 404; Error Code: 404 Not Found; Request ID: ******************* ******) com.amazonaws.services.s3.model.AmazonS3Exception: Not Found (Service: Amazon S3; Status Code: 404; Error Code: 404 Not Found; Request ID: ***** ********************)
  • Fixed Support case to change the following storage connector log message from INFO to ERROR. The message occurs when a Syncplicity client does not properly authorize with the SAML IDP:
    End Request 400 Missing Argument: Syncplicity-Storage-Authorization End Request 400 Missing Argument: Storage Authorization or cookie

August 2017

Version 2.12.1.0

OVA OS version: CentOS 7.3

Fixed Support case to include the nfs-utils package in the OVA. Some NFS mounts were failing without this package installed.

June 2017

Version 2.12.0.21

  • This release of the Storage Connector is available as an Open Virtualization Archive (OVA) file only. To deploy the OVA in your datacenter refer to Install the On-Premise Storage Connector . If you are upgrading from a previous version of Storage Connector, and want to preserve the settings from your current Storage Connector nodes before you decommission them, refer to Configure the Storage Connector .
  • Added support for CentOS 7.3. The underlying CentOS operating system in the OVA distribution of the Storage Connector has been upgraded to CentOS 7.3.
  • Updated to the latest versions of the Java SDK to address the CentOS critical Errata and Security Advisory 2017:0180.
  • Fixed an issue during a yum upgrade of the OS whereby the symlinks to Java are broken, causing the Storage Connector to encounter errors and fail to start up.
  • The default log level was changed from DEBUG to INFO. The log level can be changed by editing the /etc/syncp-storage/logger.xml file and changing the following setting:
    <logger name="application" level="INFO" />

October 2017

Version 2.10.4.0

  • Fixed an issue causing the creation of shared links for an SVA-enabled StorageVault to fail.
  • Default log level set to INFO for fresh installs of the Storage Connector.

January 2017

Version 2.10.2.3

  • Introduced support for 3rd party applications integrated with the Syncplicity API Gateway to now POST requests using the AppKey and As-User headers.
  • Enhanced the /v2/files Storage Connector API to support upload requests without multipartForm data required (now an optional parameter), thereby supporting the new background sync feature in the Syncplicity iOS mobile application.
  • Fixed an issue with NFS-mounted storage. In some rare cases a file system can, by default, create new directories requested by the Storage Connector as read-only, which prevents the Storage Connector from writing file data to these directories. This results in one or both of the following error messages in the Storage Connector logfile:
    End Request 500 Internal Server Error: Backend Storage Error (Permission denied) java.io.FileNotFoundException:To address this the Storage Connector now sets an explicit write permission to newly created folders and file chunks.
  • Addressed a security vulnerability related to StorageVault Authentication (SVA). Added the ability to whitelist domains for SVA SSO authentication.

December 2016

Version 2.10.1.0

  • Introduced support for the European Union (EU) PrivacyRegion, which allows on-premises customers to deploy Storage Connector in any public or private cloud anywhere in the world and configure it to process file storage for companies that are in the EU. Note that a Storage Connector can only be configured to communicate with one PrivacyRegion. For instructions on configuring the Storage Connector for EU PrivacyRegion see Syncplicity Support Article, Deploy the Syncplicity On-Premise Storage Connector
  • Upgraded the underlying CentOS operating system kernel version to kernel-2.6.32642.11.1.el6.x86_64 in order to address a known vulnerability (CVE-2016-5195). See:
    https://access.redhat.com/security/vulnerabilities/DirtyCow
  • Upgraded to the latest OpenJDK version (java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.111-0.b15.el6_8.x86_64) to address a known vulnerability (CESA-2016:2079). 
  • Changed the default log retention setting from 30 days to 7 days. This can be changed by the system administrator by editing the /etc/syncp-storage/logger.xml file and changing the following value:
    <maxHistory>7</maxHistory>
  • To improve the hardening of the Storage Connector and host OS, the use of self-signed SSL certificates on the Storage Connector node is no longer supported.
  • Improved the error message emitted to the Storage Connector log when the NFS mounted storage runs out of space and uploads start failing. Previously and under certain scenarios, if a file upload failed due to lack of space on the NFS mounted storage, the only error message logged would be
    Upload Generic error java.io.IOException: No such file or directory
    In this release the following error message is now logged:
    Upload Generic error com.syncplicity.storage.client.StorageException:
    No space left on device /mnt/my_file/data/806/a9

September 2016

Version 2.9.0.3

  • Introducing support for Syncplicity Storage Connector compatibility with Microsoft Azure Compute and Blob Storage. With this integration Azure customers can:
    • Provision CentOS-based virtual machines such as the Standard A4 size, using Azure’s native Virtual Machine provisioning tools.  
    • Deploy the Storage Connector software package on these servers in an .rpm format.
    • Configure connectivity between your Storage Connector and your Azure Blob storage account.
    • Run the Syncplicity Storage Validation Tool after deployment to confirm proper connectivity to both Syncplicity Orchestration and your Azure Blob storage account. 
    • Achieve performance benchmarks that are comparable to the benchmarks for other supported hypervisors such as AWS EC2 and VMware ESX.
  • Documented the expected format of the Storage Connector Log files for messages of type INFO, WARN and ERROR. For customers who chose to consume Storage Connector Logs for operational or investigative purposes, the formatting in the logs has been updated and published in an article found on the Syncplicity Support site.  
  • Updated the layout of the default configuration file for the Storage Connector that is found in /etc/syncp-storage/syncp-storage.conf. The file now includes clearer references to the supported storage types, and clearer illustrations of the default values needed to connect to each storage type.  
  • Changed the default behavior of the Storage Connector remote version query utility. Previously, the default behavior allowed the version of any running Connector to be remotely queried from any browser using the URL of the Connector, suffixed with a /version string. If the connector is online the query would return the version number of the responding Connector. The utility is intended to help with connectivity troubleshooting and with run-time monitoring in a multiconnector environment to ensure all Storage Connectors run a common version. Now the utility is disabled by default to prevent revealing unnecessary detail. If needed an administrator can reenable the utility after an install. To enable the /version API, on each Storage Connector node add the following line to the /etc/syncp-storage/syncp-storage.conf file:
    syncplicity.versionPage.enabled = true

July 2016

Version 2.8.0.7

  • To improve security for the default, lead-on password for the syncp user has been hardened. The minimum password complexity requirements have been enhanced as follows:
  1. Passwords must have at least 14 characters
  2. Passwords must use at least one of each of the four available character types: lowercase letters, uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols
  3. Passwords cannot reuse the last 5 passwords
  4. Passwords must contain at least 5 characters different from the previous password
  • Increased Storage Connector scaling to support 150 concurrent requests with no configuration changes needed from the customer. Support for proxy configurations for Syncplicity Shared Files in a deployment where the Storage Connector is deployed on-prem and the RMS server is hosted in the cloud at rms.syncplicity.com. Previously, when deploying in this configuration when an administrator used the “test” tool from the Admin console all traffic requests would fail.  
  • Updated documentation for Storage Connector health monitoring capabilities. See the For IT > Storage vaults > Monitoring storage vaults section of Syncplicity Support site
  • Upgraded the Java JDK to resolve 5 vulnerabilities. See:
    https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA2016-0651.html
  • Upgraded the underlying CentOS operating system version in this release to CentOS 6.8 to address a set of vulnerabilities (2 with High Severity, 4 with Low severity)
    NOTE: The Storage Connector .ova deploys with its own instance of CentOS. This means that if your Storage Connectors have been deployed using the .ova install method in vSphere ESX your version of CentOS is vulnerable since it contains a prior release of CentOS perhaps as old as v6.4 depending on the .ova version you first deployed. Incremental RPM updates do not include changes to the underlying OS.
    If you have deployed your Storage Connectors in another hypervisor such as EC2 via the CentOSami approach, the operating system in these Storage Connectors may also be exposed depending on which ami you originally chose. 
    Therefore, to remediate these issues and upgrade to Centos6.8 there are two approaches:
  1. If you use vSphere ESX, you can deploy a net-new Storage Connector .ova running version 2.8.0.7 for each of your existing deployed Connectors. After doing so you can decommission them.
  2. If you use vSphere ESX and cannot deploy new ova images, or if you have deployed using the ami approach, you can upgrade the underlying CentOS following the yum update process.
