The creation of new a9s Data Service instances for this particular version will then be disabled by default in the a9s Data Service Bundle and we will not provide regular support for this version. The corresponding documentation will also be removed. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you start your migrations to a supported GA version as soon as possible and complete them until the end of the deprecation phase. For more information, see a9s Platform Operator Sunrise Sunset.

  • breaking change all services: Add new IaaS configuration property iaas.cf.skip_ssl_validation. This property can be used to skip the validation of the Cloud Foundry (CF) certificate when communicating with CF.

This new property replaces the iaas.cf_service_guard.skip_ssl_validation and iaas.sso-proxy.skip_ssl_validation properties. The value of the iaas.cf.skip_ssl_validation property should be set to the value of the removed properties.
