Removed Features

August 10, 2020

AM, Amster, IDM, DS, and IG Dockerfiles: Dockerfiles for building AM, Amster, IDM, DS, and IG base images are no longer in the forgeops repository. They’re now distributed with the AM, Amster, IDM, DS and IG binaries.

Base Docker Images provides instructions for obtaining version 7 Dockerfiles and building base images using the Dockerfiles.

Helm charts: Helm charts, which were used to deploy the ForgeRock Identity Platform in earlier versions, are no longer used. They’ve been removed from the forgeops repository.

amster pod: AM file-based configuration triggers Amster jobs as needed for importing and exporting AM run-time data.

Because of this, the amster pod has been removed from the CDK and CDM deployments.

PostgreSQL pod: IDM now uses DS for its repository. Because of this, the PostgreSQL pod has been removed from the CDK and CDM deployments.

forgeops-init repository: The forgeops-init repository is no longer available on GitHub. Previously, you used this repository as a starting point for creating a custom configuration repository.

In the current version, starter configurations for AM, IDM, and IG reside in the forgeops repository.

bash scripts for CDM cluster creation: The bash scripts used for CDM cluster creation have been removed from the forgeops repository.

The current version uses Pulumi software to create clusters for CDM deployments instead of using bash scripts.

Downloader utility: Binary images are needed when you build Docker images for the ForgeRock Identity Platform. In the previous version, you obtained binary images of ForgeRock Identity Platform software from Artifactory by using the Downloader utility provided in the forgeops repository.

The process for building Docker images for the ForgeRock Identity Platform has changed. Instead of using the Downloader utility, obtain the images from ForgeRock BackStage.

See Base Docker Images for more information.

AM WAR file customization script

In previous versions, the customize-am.sh script provided a way to customize the AM web container before AM started.

This script has been removed from the forgeops repository. To customize the AM web container, you can:

Create a Dockerfile that inherits from the AM base Docker image, and then overlay changes to the exploded AM WAR file into the /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/openam directory.
Customize the AM WAR file you downloaded from ForgeRock Backstage, and then copy it into the docker/6.5/am directory before you build an AM base image.
