New Official Extension: camunda-bpm-migration
Camunda BPM Migration is a framework for making process instance migration easier. It builds upon the migration functionality introduced in Camunda BPM 7.5. This is a great feature enabling the community to go boldly where few men have gone before 😉 Typically, instance migration is avoided like the pest. It’s a pain. This feature, together with the migration extension, aims to ease that pain. What Does the Migration Extension Offer? Before answering that, let’s have a look what Camunda already provides. As you know, Camunda BPM provides the ability to do a migration based on process definition mapping. Still, the migration plans can only be defined for deployed processes. This makes it hard to impossible to define a migration plan…

Adding Custom Elements to the BPMN Properties Panel
Extending the BPMN properties panel to add custom elements. UPDATE: Since the publication of this post, we have reworked our BPMN properties panel infrastructure. The examples below may no longer be accurate for the latest versions. Please visit this link for updated examples on how to extend the BPMN properties panel with custom elements. Goal In this article, we will try to add a custom element to the BPMN properties panel under the ‘General’ tab for a service task type component. To be precise, under the ‘General’ tab, in the details sections, if ‘Java Class’ is selected as implementation type, a text box appears below. Here the user is expected to enter the java class, but our goal is to…

Camunda BPM Camel 0.5.0 Released – External Task Support
The community extension Camunda BPM Camel seamlessly connects Camunda BPM and the integration framework Apache Camel. Next to minor changes, the new release adds support for consuming Camunda’s external tasks (introduced in Camunda 7.4.0) in the form of a Camel route endpoint. This is another level of technical decoupling and brings a lot of advantages.

Argon2 as password-hashing function in Camunda
Introduction On the new version of the Camunda Engine Platform (7.7) the user passwords, which are stored in the database, are by default hashed with a SHA-2 family algorithm. Before the passwords are hashed, they are concated with an individual random generated salt for each user, to prevent dictionary and rainbow table attacks. For someone who needs a more secure hashing algorithm Camunda introduce a new API, which allows to customize and exchange the default hashing algorithm. In this blog post I will present this customization and will use argon2 as hashing algorithm. Argon2 is a password-hashing function 1, which is considered as state of the art and also won the Password Hashing Competition at the end of 2015 2….
