For columns in the pingfederate_access_grant and pingfederate_access_grant_attr tables
using the VARCHAR
data type, PingFederate 7.3 updated the data type to
NVARCHAR
for performance reasons.
This information is applicable only to customers who have deployed Microsoft SQL Server to host their OAuth grant datastore.
The table-setup scripts (targeted for Microsoft SQL Server) in the <pf_install>/pingfederate/server/default/conf/access-grant/sql-scripts directory have been updated. If you are upgrading from PingFederate 7.2 R2 or an earlier version with OAuth use cases, consider updating the data type in both tables accordingly to avoid potential issues caused by incompatible data types between these two tables. Consult with your database administrator, as needed.
