High The SearchResource (JSON mode) which provides the list of users/groups has changed in 2.6.0 version. Previously, When a client requested a resource, the response used to be of the format:
response.json
{
expand: "user",
users: [
{
link: {
href: "http://localhost:4990/crowd/rest/usermanagement/1/user?username=admin",
rel: "self"
},
name: "admin"
}
]
}
With 2.6.0, the response has an extra level of indirection, the response looks like(Note the UserEntity object being introduced):
response.json
{
expand: "user",
users: [
{
UserEntity: {
link: {
href: "http://localhost:8095/crowd/rest/usermanagement/1/user?username=admin",
rel: "self"
},
name: "admin"
}
}
]
}
This will break existing REST clients which use the JSON format endpoint.
