ConfigPortal Release Notes

The following items on the list encompass breaking changes, features, and fixes that are relevant for the major release.

Release 24.1.39

Breaking Changes

Entra ID - 07 May 2024

For the user synchronisation with Microsoft Entra ID (aka Azure AD), the filter options for the synched groups have been extended in the AuthService. The usage of the OData format allows a very detailled decision for the correct groups to be sync. To allow this, the format of the configuration needed to be changed.

When updating a system from a previous version to 24.1 with previously configured group filters for Azure AD, these filters have to be adapted manually in the configuration after the deployment of the new version. For more information, please see the Entra ID User Federation Group Filter Update Guide.

Dependencies and Component Updates

The following central components will be shipped in the noted version, along with relevant product and service dependencies:

System Endpoint configuration

The Global Configuration page for System Endpoints now allows you to create, edit, or delete entries. Previously, the entries could only be edited via different toolkits.

A new attribute for tags is introduced for each system endpoint. The predefined values “internal” or “external” can be selected to allow the differentiation between Kubernetes cluster internal or external URLs. User-defined tags can be created.

Regarding toolkit changes see also ConfigPortal Release Notes | New-toolkit:-Dropdown_SystemEndpoint.

Read Enum Values from VidiCore for read-only metadata

In previous versions, it was not possible to read enum metadata values from VidiCore for read-only metadata. This is now supported.

Improved editing of enum metadata values

When creating a new enum value, the user has now the option to enter also the key manually, instead of letting CP creating it automatically. The key of existing values is shown in CP, but not editable.

More configuration options for libraries

The following aspects of libraries can now be defined in CP:

• updateMode

• autoRefresh

• updateFrequency

New storage method protocols

VSA (VidiCore Server Agent)

ConfigPortal now supports configuring VSA storages. The VSA (VidiCore Server Agent) gets this configuration from VidiCore and applies the settings to access the corresponding folder.

Proxy Streaming External

It is also supported to configure the method type “Proxy Streaming External” to configure external access to the streaming server.

Staging: Merging comparison resolves nested JSON objects

In the comparison view for staging, nested JSON objects are now resolved, so that users can easily see which attributes in the JSON are different.
