Migration to Jackson 3

The CMS applications (except of the Headless server) have been migrated from using Jackson 2 to Jackson 3. Some minor parts of the applications still require Jackson 2.

The migrated CoreMedia CMS applications use Jackson 3 dependencies wherever possible. However, Jackson 2 dependencies cannot be banned entirely so far, because there’re still required transitively by other thirdparty dependencies.

As the required changes for the Headless server are breaking, they will be published with the next LTS AEPs 2512.1.0 (CMCC-12) and 2406.4.0 (CMCC-11).

Reactivation of LDAP Users

When an external user vanishes from a UserProvider, it is deactivated in the CMS. This deactivation used to be final, and when the user reappeared in the UserProvider, it was handled as a new user in the CMS. Now, the CMS can reactivate reappearing users, so that they get back all their recent assets, esp. their home directories with the Studio preferences documents.

The reactivation of LDAP users must be enabled by setting the contentserver configuration flag cap.server.restore-inactive-users to true. For backward compatibility reasons, it is false by default. For details see Content Server Manual / Configuration and Operation / LDAP Integration / LDAP User Lifecycle.
