233 - Policy Polish

This release, we have done several improvements for our Failover functionality and added two configuration options for our SMB session factory support objects. We have also updated our password policy, so from now on you are required to have a password with a minimum length of 14 characters! Apart from these improvements, we have done several bug fixes. Please find out all below!

Please find out more on our Release blog.

New features

• Login: Our password policy has been updated such that the minimum length is 14 characters, other requirements have remained the same. All users will be required to update their password when logging in. You will not be able to close this popup until your password has been updated successfully.

Minor changes

• Create - Flow Designer: We have added two additional configuration options to the SMB session factory support object.
  • Connect as guest: We have added the option to toggle whether the session factory should attempt to connect as a guest if the login attempt with the provided username and password is rejected.
  • Force SMB version 2: We have added the option to enforce the usage of SMB version 2. This effectively disables backwards-compatible version negotiation.
• Deploy - Architecture: Several improvements for our failover functionality have been done:
  • We have improved the warning message for the balance failover deployment plan step, making it more clear how to solve this issue should it occur during your deployment.
  • We have added the option to manually initiate the failover balancing process, saving you from having to execute your deployment. This action can be found in Deploy Architecture, when right clicking on the white canvas.
  • We have added a visualization of connector systems that are pending a failover enable or disable in Deploy Architecture. Besides that, you will also see this shown in the pending changes list when you apply your changes to the environment.
• Manage - Error messages: The status of error messages can now be reset to empty. (#965)

Bug fixes

• Create - Flow Designer: If a component misses a support object, an alert is now shown in the Flow Designer, displaying which support object is missing. (#1305)
• Create - Flow Designer: The XML to flat file and flat file to XML transformers have been restyled, such that they are similar to all other components. (#1153)
• Create - Flow Designer: We fixed an issue where the browser page would get frozen when editing a flow component.
• Deploy - Releases: The version number of releases that have been activated, cannot be reused anymore for new releases. Note that this check only applies to release version numbers that are activated since this Release 233.
• Manage - Explore: When clicking the queue browser button, the user will not be redirected to the home page anymore. (#1427)
