SSP v1.1.1 Release Notes

Owned by Jason Elwood
Last updated: Aug 21, 2014 by Daniel McCallum

If you are running a SSP version prior to 1.1.1, you are strongly encouraged to upgrade or otherwise apply the reporting subsystem security patches described by SSP-701.

Also please take a few minutes to review additional security-related announcements detailed at the top of the SSP space here in Confluence.

You should delete or change the passwords for the uPortal users created for demonstration purposes, especially in a production deployment. This can be done through the user interface: Manage Users ->  Find an Existing User -> [Enter user ID from list below] -> [Click result] -> Delete or Edit, then change password. Demo users:

  • advisor0
  • ken
  • student0
  • student1

Non-private installs should also either change the admin user's password or add some other user to the Portal Administrators group and delete the admin user.
