<h1 >What we're about to do<a href="#What-were-about-to-do" class="wiki-anchor">¶</a></h1>
<p>Until today we have been able to apply regular maintainance and patch installation while the service is still up and running. But we are planning to apply some major improvements to the support platform that require the service to be shut down. The changes and their impact are explained in the following chapters.</p>
<a name="Single-Sign-On"></a>
<h2 >Single Sign On<a href="#Single-Sign-On" class="wiki-anchor">¶</a></h2>
<p>The support platform is based on <a href="https://redmine.org" class="external">Redmine</a> which ships with its own mechanisms for user management by default. Since the number of users is continuously growing, as are our plans to extend our services portfolio, a centralized solution needs to be established. <a href="https://sso.digitalwerk.net" class="external">digitalwerk ego</a> is our approach to the solution with authentication of services based on <a href="https://oauth.net/2/" class="external">OAuth2</a>. After users are migrated from <a href="https://support.digitalwerk.net" class="external">digitalwerk community</a> to <a href="https://sso.digitalwerk.net" class="external">digitalwerk ego</a> you will be able to explore all our current and future services using the same user without the need to sign up to services again.</p>
<a name="Whats-about-to-change"></a>
<h3 >What's about to change?<a href="#Whats-about-to-change" class="wiki-anchor">¶</a></h3>
<p>You no longer will authenticate yourself directly to <a href="https://support.digitalwerk.net" class="external">digitalwerk community</a>. Instead you will be asked to sign in to <a href="https://sso.digitalwerk.net" class="external">digitalwerk ego</a> which will redirect you to the page originally requested in <a href="https://support.digitalwerk.net" class="external">digitalwerk community</a>.</p>
<a name="Will-I-need-to-do-anything"></a>
<h3 >Will I need to do anything?<a href="#Will-I-need-to-do-anything" class="wiki-anchor">¶</a></h3>
<p><strong>No.</strong> The user migration to <a href="https://sso.digitalwerk.net" class="external">digitalwerk ego</a> is automated and will not require any manual actions. <strong>We also recommend NOT to register to <a href="https://sso.digitalwerk.net" class="external">digitalwerk ego</a></strong>. Users already existing in <a href="https://support.digitalwerk.net" class="external">digitalwerk community</a> won't need to register anyway, they can sign in right away after we finished migration and maintainance on Thursday.</p>
<a name="Redmine-upgrade"></a>
<h2 >Redmine upgrade<a href="#Redmine-upgrade" class="wiki-anchor">¶</a></h2>
<p>We are currently using <a href="https://redmine.org" class="external">Redmine 3.3</a> and will be upgrading to <a href="https://redmine.org" class="external">Redmine 4.1</a>. Basically there are no major changes on how we will be using redmine at all. Still we want to hint you that there are changes in the UI, especially as we apply a more modern theme to redmine that integrates better into the digitalwerk services family.</p>
<a name="Whats-about-to-change-2"></a>
<h3 >What's about to change?<a href="#Whats-about-to-change-2" class="wiki-anchor">¶</a></h3>
<p>Visual layout will change.</p>
<a name="Will-I-need-to-do-anything-2"></a>
<h3 >Will I need to do anything?<a href="#Will-I-need-to-do-anything-2" class="wiki-anchor">¶</a></h3>
<p><strong>No.</strong></p>
<a name="Host-migration"></a>
<h2 >Host migration<a href="#Host-migration" class="wiki-anchor">¶</a></h2>
<p>We are migrating our <a href="https://support.digitalwerk.net" class="external">digitalwerk community</a> instance from our on premise server into <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/de/elasticbeanstalk/" class="external">AWS Elastic Beanstalk</a>. This will improve reliability of the service. Deployment is automated in a continuous integration and deployment infrastructure allowing flexibility in extending the service and scalability in case work load increases. Data that has been or will be input to <a href="https://support.digitalwerk.net" class="external">digitalwerk community</a> is managed solely by digitalwerk and is <strong>not</strong> passed to Amazon.</p>
<a name="Whats-about-to-change-3"></a>
<h3 >What's about to change?<a href="#Whats-about-to-change-3" class="wiki-anchor">¶</a></h3>
<p>Everything! But it won't affect you in any way. <a href="https://support.digitalwerk.net" class="external">digitalwerk community</a> will still be available in <a class="external" href="https://support.digitalwerk.net">https://support.digitalwerk.net</a>.</p>

<p>Keep safe and healthy,<br />Your digitalwerk community team</p> ADTF 2.x Discontinuation - UPDATEhttps://support.digitalwerk.net/news/982020-12-18T13:27:43Zhidden
<p>Dear customers,</p>
<p>As you might already know from our news <a class="news" href="https://support.digitalwerk.net/news/38">ADTF 2.x Discontinuation</a> provided three years ago and linked on the <a href="https://support.digitalwerk.net" class="external">landing page</a> of the support platform, ADTF 2.x is running towards EOL until the end of 2021.</p>
Unfortunately we are facing several requests regarding license usage after this date, which are based on wrong interpretation regarding discontinuation:
<ul>
<li>ADTF 2.x will be discontinued at 2021-12-31</li>
<li>This means there won't be any updates, maintainance, bugfixes or support after this date</li>
<li><strong>BUT:</strong> there will still be licenses available for customers, who already bought a license including company licenses from customer forum members
<ul>
<li>The way will be evaluated and announced during next year</li>
<li>But it is guaranteed that you will still be able to use ADTF 2.x after end of 2021 !</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
We hope this message helps you understand and plan the future.<br />We created a <a class="wiki-page" href="https://support.digitalwerk.net/projects/download-center/wiki/FAQ's">FAQ's</a> for this topic:
<ul>
<li><a class="wiki-page" href="https://support.digitalwerk.net/projects/download-center/wiki/FAQ's#Q-Will-there-still-be-licenses-for-ADTF-2x-after-EOL-">Q: Will there still be licenses for ADTF 2.x after EOL ?</a></li>
</ul>
Note:
<ul>
<li><strong>We highly recommend to start new projects using ADTF 3.x !</strong></li>
<li><strong>If your project and timetable allows you we also recommend migrating current projects, parts and toolchains to ADTF 3.x, otherwise stay on ADTF 2.x or mix up</strong></li>
<li><strong>If you need any help for migration, design in ADTF 3.x and how getting started, just let us know.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Also if you are facing any troubles, missing features, map design and architecture on your use case or need any further assistance setting up with ADTF 3.x - feel free to contact our support!</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Especially have a look at our <a href="https://support.digitalwerk.net" class="external">landing page</a> for an overview of products, documentation and solutions.</p>
<p>We wish you a merry christmas and a healthy start in 2021 !</p>
