Upgrade from shibboleth idp 2.1.0 to 2.1.2

This upgrade has proved to be very smooth.

I was scared by the upgrade ad hoc page. Actually it was about upgrade from 2.0 to 2.1 version.

Instead it was enought to download the tar.gz, verify signature, unzip run
sh install.sh
No need to backup configuration data, if you choose not to overwrite it.

It's only needed to build again the link with libraries not included in the war bundle, ad example the jdbc ones:

sudo ln -s /usr/share/java/mysql-connector-java.jar $IDP_HOME/lib/

copy personalized login pages from old source to new source path:

cp -va shibboleth-identityprovider-2.1.0/src/main/webapp/login.jsp
shibboleth-identityprovider-2.1.2/src/main/webapp/

and restart tomcat.
