9.3. What’s New in 7.2.0

9.3.1. Web Integration Service compatible with Monitoring Library 2.0

Monitoring Library 2.0 can be enabled in Web Integration Service so that all DDS entities created by this service will provide monitoring data to Observability Framework.

To enable Monitoring Library 2.0 in Web Integration Service, add the XML code snippet shown below to an XML QoS profile, then run Web Integration Service from the folder containing the profile. Add the snippet to any of the following XML files:

NDDS_QOS_PROFILES.xml, located in the Connext installation directory at <NDDSHOME>/resource/xml/
USER_QOS_PROFILES.xml, located in the Web Integration Service working directory
Any XML file included in the NDDS_QOS_PROFILES environment variable

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<dds>
    <qos_library name="MonitoringEnabledLibrary">
        <qos_profile name="MonitoringEnabledProfile" is_default_participant_factory_profile="true">
            <participant_factory_qos>
                <monitoring>
                    <enable>true</enable>
                </monitoring>
            </participant_factory_qos>
        </qos_profile>
    </qos_library>
</dds>

For more information, see How to Load XML-Specified QoS Settings in the Core Libraries User’s Manual.

9.3.2. Support dynamic certificate renewal

A running Web Integration Service instance can use the new authentication.identity_certificate_file_poll_period.millisec property in RTI Security Plugins to renew its identity certificate without the need to restart the service. The authentication.identity_certificate_file_poll_period.millisec property must have a value greater than zero for the participant to periodically poll its identity certificate file for changes.

For more information, see the Configuration section in this manual and the Advanced Authentication Concepts section in the Security Plugins User’s Manual.

9.3.3. Support for dynamic certificate expiration and revocation

A running Web Integration Service instance can use the authentication.crl and the new authentication.crl_file_poll_period.millisec properties in RTI Security Plugins to specify certificate revocations without the need to restart the service. The authentication.crl_file_poll_period.millisec property must have a value greater than zero for the DomainParticipant to periodically poll the provided CRL file for changes.

For more information, see Advanced Authentication Concepts in the Security Plugins User’s Manual.

9.3.4. Removed OpenSSL 1.1.1 support

Web Integration Service supports the latest LTS version of OpenSSL (OpenSSL 3.0). In this release, Web Integration Service is only available as a set of libssl and libcrypto libraries built against OpenSSL 3.0.8 (which is supported until September, 2026). The support of OpenSSL 1.1.1 has been removed, because it is end-of-life in September, 2023.

9.3.5. Third-Party software upgrades

The following third-party software used by Web Integration Service has been upgraded:
