Migrating GeoFence configuration¶

GeoServer 2.27¶

In GeoServer 2.27, GeoFence dependency for H2 moved from major version 1 to 2.3.

The file format in the new version is not fully compatible with the previous one, so you may want to follow the instructions on the H2 migration page to use the new H2 version.

If you are using H2 as a backend for GeoFence, please note that this is strongly discouraged and you should move to postgres/postgis or other spatially enabled DBMS.

GeoServer 2.12¶

Starting from GeoServer 2.12, the allowDynamicStyles GeoFence configuration option has been moved to the core GeoServer WMS module.

This means that if you had this option active in GeoFence, you have to manually enable the same option in the WMS service configuration page of the GeoServer Admin UI (either globally or on a virtual service by virtual service basis).
