EJBCA Community 9.0 Release Notes

COMMUNITY EDITION DEC 2024

The EJBCA team is pleased to announce the newest release of our open-source PKI software EJBCA Community Edition with version 9.0.

These release notes cover new EJBCA Community features and improvements implemented between EJBCA Community 8.3 and EJBCA Community 9.0.

This community release introduces a new technology stack and includes other improvements and error corrections.

Highlights

Upgraded Technology Stack

EJBCA 9 introduces support for running on an upgraded technology stack. As of version 9.0, the deployment prerequisites now include WildFly 32 or JBoss EAP 8 as the supported application servers, and Java 17 as the required runtime environment. While Java 17 is required for this release, Java 21 is planned for a future update in a later EJBCA 9 release.

Due to changes in recent WildFly versions and JBoss EAP 8, which are not backward compatible with WildFly 26 and JBoss 7.4, the upgrade from EJBCA 8 to EJBCA 9 requires a complete technology stack upgrade.
