Naming Changes

In addition to the obvious change of Passport to FusionAuth, as you read through the documentation and update your integration be aware of the following name changes.

Table 1. Name changes
Old name	New Name	Description
Passport	FusionAuth	Passport is now known as FusionAuth
passport.properties	fusionauth.properties	The Passport configuration file is now named `fusionauth.properties`.
Passport Backend	FusionAuth App	The Passport Backend which refers to the webservice that services APIs and provides the UI is now referred as FusionAuth or FusionAuth App.
passport-backend	fusionauth-app	The passport-backend which was the name of the package or bundle which contained the Passport Backend service will now be called fusionauth-app.
Passport Search Search	FusionAuth Search	The Passport Search Search which refers to the webservice that provides search capability to FusionAuth is now referred to FusionAuth Search.
passport-search-engine	fusionauth-search	The `passport-search-engine` which was the name of the package or bundle which contained the Passport Search Engine service will now be called `fusionauth-search`.
X-Passport-TenantId	X-FusionAuth-TenantId	The `X-Passport-TenantId` which was used if you had configured more than one tenant to scope an API request to a particular tenant should be changed to `X-FusionAuth-TenantId`.

License Changes

Because FusionAuth is no longer licensed in a traditional way, no license is required and no license checks are performed during a User create or Registration process. In Passport it was possible to receive a 402 status code indicating the license was expired or had exceeded the allocated usage, this response code will no longer be returned.

Breaking Changes

Review the following breaking changes when moving from Passport to FusionAuth. A breaking change means that compatibility has been broken and if your integration will break if you do not review the following changes and update your integration accordingly.

API Changes

When the Search Engine service is down or un-reachable a new status code of 503 will be returned. Previously this error condition would have returned a 500 status code.
If you were passing the Tenant Id in an HTTP header, this header X-Passport-TenantId should now be provided as X-FusionAuth-TenantId.

Email Templates

The Forgot Email and Setup Password templates no longer support the verificationId replacement parameter. The verificationId replacement parameter was provided for backwards compatibility with older versions of Passport and has been removed in FusionAuth.

Review your Forgot Password and Setup Password email templates and if you are using the the replacement value ${verificationId} in either the HTML or Text version of the template, replace it with ${changePasswordId}.

See Email Templates for additional information.

Client Libraries

If you were using a Passport Client library please upgrade to the FusionAuth version. See Client Libraries

Removed Features

Parent and Child relationships between users was removed in FusionAuth. This feature is planned to be re-introduced with better support for a family structure and a more flexible relationship model. If you currently utilize this feature please contact the FusionAuth team for assistance.

Database Migration

Due to the data model changes that were made in FusionAuth your database schema will need to be updated. Please be aware that you Passport database MUST be upgraded to the latest version prior to migrating to FusionAuth. The latest Passport version is 1.22.4, the easiest way to upgrade your schema is to install the latest version of Passport and start up the service and allow Maintenance Mode to upgrade your database for you. Once this is complete you may then run the migration script.

Stop! Read me

Prior to upgrading to FusionAuth, you MUST upgrade Passport to version 1.22.4. If you do not, this will not work and you will need to restore your database from a backup.
