Migration

• Bug 7793: shiro.ini is no longer exposed in ODL Nitrogen.

shiro.ini is no longer exposed in ODL Nitrogen. A more robust mechanism is provided to configure AAA in ODL Nitrogen based on the clustered-app-config framework. A migration utility is provided and may be run by invoking the following:

An XML payload is output to stdout, which can be used as a PUT payload to the aaa-app-config REST endpoint to maintain configuration from a previous version. An alternative is to write the resulting payload to the initial application config:

python bin/upgrade/convert-shiro-ini-to-rest-payload <filename> > etc/opendaylight/datastore/initial/config/aaa-app-config.xml

For Example:

python bin/upgrade/convert-shiro-ini-to-rest-payload etc/shiro.ini > etc/opendaylight/datastore/initial/config/aaa-app-config.xml
