dec 28, 2021 - Log4j 2.17.1 release

Description:

From version 2.17.1, (and 2.12.4 and 2.3.2 for Java 7 and Java 6), the JDBC Appender will use JndiManager and will require the log4j2.enableJndiJdbc system property to contain a value of true for JNDI to be enabled.

The property to enable JNDI has been renamed from ‘log4j2.enableJndi’ to three separate properties: log4j2.enableJndiLookup, log4j2.enableJndiJms, and log4j2.enableJndiContextSelector.

JNDI functionality has been hardened in these versions: 2.3.1, 2.12.2, 2.12.3 or 2.17.0: from these versions onwards, support for the LDAP protocol has been removed and only the JAVA protocol is supported in JNDI connections.
