Cegid ORLI Connector release notes

25​

25.0​

2025

What's new​

✳️ Complete rewrite using REST API with SOAP data structures. The connector no longer uses SOAP web services. All requests now use REST API calls with SOAP data structures passed via XML SOAP envelopes.

✳️ Token-based authentication. The connector now retrieves an authorization token from the configured token URL and sets it in the REST API request header. Previous versions used direct SOAP web service credentials.

✳️ Updated configuration. The Connector.config file now requires token URL and client ID values (ORLI_TOKEN_URL, ORLI_TOKEN_CLIENT_ID) in addition to the web services endpoint and user credentials.

Why this matters​

The rewrite from SOAP web services to REST API aligns the connector with current Cegid ORLI API standards. Token-based authentication improves security by separating credential management from individual requests. Existing installations require updated configuration values for the new authentication and endpoint fields before upgrading.

Upgrade notes​

  • Update Connector.config with the new ORLI_TOKEN_URL and ORLI_TOKEN_CLIENT_ID values before running jobs
  • The ORLI_WEB_SERVICES_ENDPOINT value must be updated to the REST API endpoint
  • Re-encrypt the ORLI_USER_PASSWORD value using the updated Encrypt.exe tool if needed

22.1.0​

What's new​

No new features in this release.

Fixes​

✅ CONNUTIL-607: Fixed an issue where debug logging remained active even when the DEBUG setting in Connector.config was set to OFF.

22.0.0​

What's new​

✳️ Support for Cegid ORLI wsdl v2. The connector now supports the version 2 WSDL for Cegid ORLI web services.

Why this matters​

The connector now works with Cegid ORLI environments running the updated wsdl v2 interface.

Upgrade notes​

  • This release no longer requires a user to be specified when calling the application. The user and password values in the configuration file are used for authentication and job execution. Remove any user specification from existing job definitions.

Fixes​

✅ CONNUTIL-603: Updated the connector to support wsdl v2.

21​

21.0.0​

What's new​

✳️ Replaced log4j with slf4j and logback. The connector no longer uses log4j for logging. All logging now uses slf4j with logback.

✳️ Embedded Java runtime. The connector now includes an embedded Java 11 runtime. No separately installed Java version is required on the target machine.

✳️ New installer format. The connector is now distributed as a zip file. Extract the zip to the desired installation directory.

✳️ New Encrypt.exe utility. A new encryption utility is included for encrypting password values in Connector.config. The configuration file has been renamed from Agent.config to Connector.config.

Why this matters​

Removing log4j addresses CVE-2021-44228 and eliminates the Log4Shell vulnerability. The embedded Java runtime simplifies installation by removing the dependency on a system-installed Java version. The new installer format makes deployment more straightforward.

Upgrade notes​

  • Rename existing Agent.config to Connector.config and verify all settings are present
  • Use the new Encrypt.exe tool to re-encrypt any password values
  • No separately installed Java runtime is required

Fixes​

✅ CONNUTIL-534: Fixed an issue where the Cegid ORLI log file did not rotate at the configured file size limit.

✅ CONNUTIL-542: Removed log4j and replaced it with slf4j and logback to address CVE-2021-44228.
