Globus Connect Server v5.4 Changes

Google Drive: Support for transferring out of duplicate files. When encountered, the files will be represented with unique names.

BlackPearl: Improved performance for transfer tasks with many files.

S3, Google Cloud Storage, Ceph: Fixed an issue where a truncated connection could result in an incorrect checksum response, leading to unnecessarily re-transferred data.

Ceph: Fixed a user login failure when their RadosGW uid had too many keys.

Disable guest collection HTTPS when the mapped collection has an associated flow

Support associating a Flow client ID with a collection which limits transfers to or from the collection to the associated Flow. A Flow can be enforced on the collection when the collection is used as the source or destination of the transfer. Users attempting to initiate Transfer tasks or use the collection’s HTTPS interface when a Flow is associated with the direction of the transfer will be directed to the Flow.

Fix for collection listings that specify the mapped collection ID on non HA storage gateways.

Google Drive: Fix regression in display and handling of shortcuts and other non-exportable Google document types.

S3: Fix for unrecoverable error when invalid partial uploads prevent a restart.

S3, Google Cloud Storage: Use HTTP/1.1 to avoid HTTP2-specific stream errors.

Added the capability for subscription administrators to configure the verification status of a collection which indicates that the resource is operated and maintained by the subscribing organization. Users can rely on verification status to ensure they are selecting subscriber-endorsed collections.

Added the capability to configure activity notifications for guest collections using the GCS CLI. Only settable on guest collections. Defaults to no activity notifications.

Fix for disabling guest collection HTTPS when the mapped collection HTTPS is disabled.

Fix for GCS CLI session update examples.

Cleanup GridFTP processes that hang during authentication.

When accessing a guest collection via its HTTPS interface, clients such as wget and curl can be used without special HTTP headers if the access is allowed with an anonymous permission.

Transfers would fail after upgrading to previous versions if the GridFTP data interface was never explicitly set.

Collection HTTPS interface downloads support the HTTP header 'Range: bytes=0-' syntax.

Some endpoints were previous unable to delete a collection’s user_message and user_message_link attributes.

Fix an error deleting a Google Cloud Storage Gateway that was introduced in the 5.4.17 release.

The sharing_restrict_paths is now the default sharing path restrictions for a mapped collections. Additional permissions to share paths can be added to individual users. See the Data Access Guide and command line reference documentation for information on how to configure sharing policies.

If a Google Drive or Google Cloud Storage user credential is either revoked due to an explicit removal of consent, or invalidated because it hasn’t been used for a long period, Globus Connect Server now correctly marks the credential as invalid. When this occurs, users who access a collection that uses the credential will be redirected to the credential page to repair the credential.

When creating a guest collection, if the endpoint is not managed by a subscription, always return a missing subscription error. In earlier versions, other errors (such as OAuth missing scopes) could be returned, even though fixing that situation would in no way allow the collection creation to succeed.

Add a warning and require confirmation when cleaning up an endpoint that is acting as an OIDC server. When the endpoint is cleaned up, the OIDC server is no longer functional and the identity domain can not be reused.

When renewing the endpoint’s certificate, the new private key is not rewritten to the local filesystem, which can cause https errors. Contact support@globus.org for information about how to fix this situation.

The implementation of the force_encryption policy has changed for guest collections. When creating a guest collection, it is associated with another mapped collection. In previous versions, the force_encryption policy was completely independent for the collections. In this version, when you set force_encryption to true on a mapped collection, then all guest collections associated with that mapped collection will also have that policy set to true and it cannot be set to false. If a mapped collection has force_encryption set to false, the guest collection’s value of that property can be set. In either case, if the storage gateway is high assurance, then the force_encryption policy is always true for mapped and guest collections.

The relationship between guest and mapped collections is now represented in the Globus transfer service. As a result, pause rules that are set on a mapped collection will also pause transfers on the related guest collections.

If Globus Connect Server is installed on a system with a FIPS-compliant cryptography module it would be unable to create new collection, as Globus Connect Server used md5 to generate pseudo-random domain names.

If globus-connect-server endpoint setup is run a second time with either a different or missing deployment key file, it would fail with an error Object WILDCARD_DOMAIN already exists.. The incorrect deployment key is now detected and the user is instructed how to proceed.

Fix a crash in globus-connect-server endpoint migrate53 after migrating configuration.

Restrict roles to non-email identities. In previous versions, it was possible to configure Globus Connect Server to assign an email-only identity as either an endpoint owner or another role. However, these roles could not be used to manage the endpoint, as they do not provide authentication information. If a user attempts to create a role for an email-only identity it is now rejected.

Normalize Google Cloud Platform user names. In some cases, Google Cloud platform usernames or email addresses may contain contain mixed-case values. Globus Connect Server would report mismatched username errors when the Google ID token contained uppercase characters.

Handle Ceph usernames that contain reserved characters. If a Ceph username contained a reserved character such as "=", it would be unusable with Globus Connect Server.

Update the Node configuration to allow multiple IP addresses at setup time, as well as allowing the incoming and outgoing port ranges to be changed on a per-node basis.

Fix a bug in the letsencrypt certificate renewal, where the certificate was not being serialized to disk correctly after renewals.

Remove duplicate entries from --help output.

Improve validation of node port ranges.

Improve error messages when attempting to log in to a collection using an invalid collection id.

Collections migrated using the globus-connect-server endpoint migrate53 command did not have their scopes updated as part of the migration process, so the https interface did not work correctly. (As a workaround, change the display_name of a collection to cause the scope values to be fixed.)

Support for admin-supplied domains and certificates for Globus Connect Server services. See the new Globus Connect Server domain guide.

Add an optional OIDC service that integrates with the local PAM modules to act as an identity provider. This allows sites with no OIDC compatible identity service to use their local login policies to generate tokens for use with Globus Connect Server. See the OIDC guide.

New commands to support these features:

Allow identities with the status "private" to be granted roles. Previous versions would disallow those identities.

Fix directory permissions after migrating a v5.3 endpoint using the globus-connect-server endpoint migrate53 command.

Don’t allow attempt to reload the apache configuration until after configuration synchronization is complete.

Ensure that a Unicode-compatible locale is used in wsgi configuration on Debian-based systems.

When a Google Cloud Platform credential fails to refresh or consent is revoked, mark the credential as invalid so that the web interface can prompt the user to repair the credentials.

Add user and group sharing restrictions to mapped collections. See the Sharing configuration section of the data access guide for information on the new configuration. If the new policies are not used, then if the sharing_allowed property is set to true, then any user which maps to a valid local account may create shares.

New command-line to set the new sharing restrictions. These are document in
