Changelog¶

The Installer¶

Elastic search 8¶

The install of elastic search has been reworked to improve stability and reduce installation failures. While also upgrading to the latest and most stable version of Elastic search 8.

Redis¶

Redis is now a required software with Lime CRM being used with the Lime Web client, it was previously optional and only used by the EmailEngine.

Configures config cache in Redis¶

To improve performance Lime CRM now utilizes a redis cache for configs, the installer automatically configures this for all services like below:

webclient:
  config_cache:
    redis_url: redis://localhost:port/db

Enables Flask session in Redis¶

As Redis is now available for all on-premise installations the installer enables the web servers' sessions to be stored in redis and instead of the browser session cookie. This was previously available as opt-in.

webserver:
  flask_session:
    type: redis
    redis_url: redis://localhost:port/db

Lime CRM¶

Webclient Config Cache¶

Lime CRM now utilizes a redis cache for configs, it must be explicitly configured in each service config:

webclient:
  config_cache:
    redis_url: redis://localhost:port/db

This is set automatically configured by the installer for all CRM services.

The login behavior when used with Entra ID has changed to always show the account selection screen in Entra.

Previously when logging out from Lime CRM the user might not be shown the login screen in Entra ID next time they login (as Entra might still have them logged in), to restore the previous behavior add this to the webserver service config:

authentication:
  azure:
    login_prompt_behavior: default

The available prompt behaviors for Entra are:

default depending on Entra ID setup this may silently login the user without showing the login screen
login always asks for username and password
select_account lets the user pick between Entra accounts already logged into
