Component : UIM - UMP LIFERAY v9.0.2

Release : 9.2.0
Component : UIM - UMP LIFERAY v9.2.0

In 9.0.2 a Liferay patch is installed
In 9.2.2 along with the Liferay patch, Tomcat is upgraded

Resolution

Assumption:

In 9.0.2 do the following steps:
1. Deactivate wasp probe in UMP robot

3. Go to the path <UMP_installation>\probes\service\wasp\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes and edit the portal-ext.properties file in UMP robot.
4. Add the following property and save the file
    session.enable.phishing.protection=false
5. Activate wasp probe
6. Clear browser cache
7. login UMP using SSO

In 9.2.0 do the following steps:
1. Take the backup of wasp folder from UMP robot installation path. This is mandatory because new installer will overwrite some directories.
2. Re install UMP using UMP 9.2.2 installer from the UIM Hotfix Page link: https://ftp.broadcom.com/user/downloads/pub/UIM/UIM_Probe_Hotfixes/UMP9.2.2SAMLfix.zip
3. Once installation is successful, deactivate wasp in UMP robot.
4. Delete work folder in wasp directory
5. In <UMP_installation>\probes\service\wasp\lib\services delete the following three jar files:
hibernate-commons-annotations*
hibernate-core-*
hibernate-entitymanager-*
6. Delete the xerceslmpl.jar file from the directory <UMP_installation>\probes\service\wasp\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\lib
7. From backup location, restore portal-ext.properties file to <UMP_installation>\probes\service\wasp\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes
8. Add the following property and save the file
session.enable.phishing.protection=false
9. From backup location, Restore data folder to <UMP_installation>\probes\service\wasp\webapps\ROOT
