# [Specification Change] Changes in Authentication Mechanism Enable/Disable Logic

TIP

This change only affects systems that have ID/Pass or SAML authentication methods enabled.

The logic for determining the enable/disable status of authentication mechanisms, particularly for ID/Pass and SAML methods, has been changed. As a result, under specific conditions, these authentication mechanisms may be unintentionally enabled or disabled.

Before upgrading the system, check if you have set the following environment variables. For details about environment variables, please refer to this page.

  • LOCAL_STRATEGY_ENABLED
  • SAML_ENABLED

If you haven't set the above environment variables, you won't be affected by this change.

If you have set the above environment variables, please proceed with the following steps:

  1. Access /login using a private browser to verify if the enable/disable status of ID/Pass and SAML authentication matches your expected configuration.
  2. If they match, you won't be affected by this change.
  3. If they don't match, take one of the following measures:
    1. Prioritize DB values (recommended)
      1. Navigate to the "Security Settings" page in the admin panel and toggle ON/OFF to save the correct enable/disable status in the database
      2. Remove the environment variables LOCAL_STRATEGY_ENABLED and SAML_ENABLED
      3. Restart the server
    2. Prioritize environment variable values
      1. Delete documents with key: 'security:passport-local:isEnabled' and key: 'security:passport-saml:isEnabled' from the configs collection in the database
      2. Restart the server

# [Deprecated] Deprecation of Some Environment Variables

  • The environment variable FILE_UPLOAD_DISABLED has been deprecated
    • Role: Disable file upload functionality
    • Alternative: Set FILE_UPLOAD=none to disable file upload functionality
  • The environment variable DISABLE_LINK_SHARING has been deprecated
    • Role: Disable share link functionality
    • Alternative: You can disable share link functionality from the "Security Settings" in the admin panel

# [New Feature] OpenTelemetry Support (Beta)

GROWI v7.2.0 introduces beta support for sending telemetry data to OpenTelemetry collectors. This data collection enables early problem detection, performance optimization, and UI improvements. Through this feature, you can contribute to this open-source software as a valuable data provider supporting GROWI's evolution.

As this feature is in beta, it is disabled by default. When enabled, data will be sent to a secure analytics platform provided by GROWI, Inc. (opens new window), allowing you to participate in GROWI's continuous improvement program. In future versions, we are implementing stricter anonymization of transmitted data, and plan to enable this feature by default once it meets our development team's quality standards.

To accommodate organization-specific analytics needs, administrators can configure the OpenTelemetry collector destination to their own servers.

We welcome feedback from the early development stage to further improve GROWI. If you'd like to help, please join this improvement program.

For more information, please see Telemetry.
