261 - Taking Charge

This release includes a lot of updates to our platform. We are releasing some beta features for customers utilizing our latest version of the API Gateway allowing to use multiple authentication methods. On top of that we will release a new environment template that will update a multitude of configurations on cloud and on-premise machines. Furthermore, we have a series of smaller improvements to bring delight to your everyday work.

Please find out more on our Release blog.

New Features

• API gateways using the latest Multiple Authentication Methods feature can now configure the Authorization Code OAuth2 grant type for their gateway users. Note that the following timeouts apply:
  • The authorization code is valid for *5 minutes*, meaning it should be used to obtain an access token within that period. 
  • Clients that obtain an access token with authorization code will also obtain a ~refresh token~, that can be used to obtain a subsequent access token without user intervention. This refresh token is valid for *24 hours*, meaning that the client application has to call the eMagiz API gateway at least that often, otherwise manual intervention is needed to authorize the call again. 

Remarks

• The advised Docker version for on-premises deployments has been updated from 24.0.7 to 29.1.3. Documentation on how to update Docker can be found at:
  • Linux
  • Windows
• An infrastructure change has been applied to the container registry to improve how traffic is managed within our own environment.
