Hot-Reload Authentication Mode, Trust Relationship, Library Cookie Settings, and SSO Configuration Without Library Server Restart

The Strategy (June 2026) update include the following four important no-restart improvements:

• Authentication mode updates can now be applied without restarting the Library server in supported scenarios. Supported authentication modes includes Standard, LDAP, SAML, OIDC, Guest, Trusted, and JWT.
• Trust relationship updates no longer require you to restart the Library server.
• SSO configuration updates can be hot-reloaded for both server-level and application-level settings when updated using Workstation.
• Cookie setting updates can also take effect without restarting Library when it is updated through the supported configuration paths.

How Changes are Applied

configOverride.properties Changes

For supported settings in configOverride.properties, changes can take effect without restarting the Library server.

This update applies to authentication mode switching enhancements, trust relationship, and cookie related runtime behavior.

Note: Hot-reload is supported. If you update the relevant supported settings in configOverride.properties, it will take effect automatically after the reload cycle.

SSO Configuration Changes

SSO configuration behaves differently from the general supported configOverride.properties updates.

• If SSO configuration is updated using Workstation, the change can be hot-reloaded.
• If SSO configuration files are edited directly, you must restart the Library server for the change to take effect.

Important: Directly editing SSO configuration files does not provide the same hot-reload behavior as updating SSO configuration using Workstation.
