Coming back to report my experience for future reference.

I tested going from version 1.18.7 up to 1.50.1 and it was actually possible to go straight from one to the other, i.e. install 1.50.1 and let FA automatically upgrade the database.

If you are using custom themes, many new templates have been introduced and will be missing. A small issue that will come up in this case (specifically after version 1.37) is that the index page will be broken. This is because a new index template has been introduced and will now be missing. You can circumvent this by either appending "?bypassTheme=true" to the URL, or going directly to the login page "/admin". You can then login and fix any theme issues through the dashboard editor.

Another issue I faced was that for some reason (didn't look into it), any changes I made to my custom themes would silently be discarded. I had to duplicate the default theme and start from scratch. Given the many differences and depending on your use case, this may be a good idea anyway.

Hello everyone.

I have an old installation (1.18.7) that I'd like to bring up to speed. What would be the best way to handle this? Is it possible to setup a new FusionAuth instance (latest version) and migrate the data?

Any suggestions/directions are welcomed. Thank you.

Hi, thanks for the info.

I get the idea but it's hard for me to even try to implement at the moment. I haven't done any OpenID related coding yet, plus one of my apps is a Wordpress site and I would need to dab into the OpenID plugin's code. I'm keeping the info though as I may try to go for it down the road.

By the way, it is my understanding that Keycloak has this feature built in. I don't have any hands on experience so I can't be certain on how it works. You may want to have a look at it though in case it's something you wish to integrate in the future.

Thanks again for your time.

I'm primarily interested in the hosted login pages.

However, let me know of any other setup you may have in mind so I can examine the possibility. Thank you.

Hi all,

This looks like a fundamental question to me but I couldn't find any previous discussion (which probably means that I don't fully understand the topic yet).

Does FusionAuth support a "Remember Me" functionality? What I would expect is the ability to add a "Remember Me" checkbox to the login dialog (as usual). Clicking it would allow web apps to authenticate without requiring the user to enter their credentials even after closing the browser.

Thank you for your help.
