Overview

We now have Open-AudIT Community / Professional / Server. Community is as always, free and open source. Professional is a new product. It has most of the Enterprise features. Most commercial users will migrate to this product. Enterprise has some very specific Enterprise features. Combining Roles and LDAP / Active Directory authorization not being the least of them. Baselines and Files are also Enterprise specific.

Licensing Change

Please note that the licensing system has been updated, and existing licenses will not work for Open-AudIT Professional & Enterprise v2. You will have to obtain an updated license for this version of Open-AudIT Professional & Enterprise. You can check your licenses by visiting the My Licenses page; If unsure about your options, please email contact@opmantek.com.

Tasks Change

As we now have new reports and a collection called discoveries, any tasks that exist from pre v2 will need to be edited and associated with a new discovery (which needs to be created) or the correct report.

Groups Deprecated

Open-AudIT v2 has deprecated Groups as a primary method of access control.  It is now Roles based. A user has Roles. Those Roles can perform various actions. The User also has access to a list of Orgs. They can perform the roles actions on items that belong to the Org(s) they have access to. Groups as the primary source of authorisation have been deprecated. A user no longer has a permission on a group. A user has a role which works in combination with an Org (see below).

...

What used to be called queries or reports within Open-AudIT are now split into two different endpoints. The difference being that a Summary uses "group by" in it's SQL and provides the ability to "drill down" through results. A good example being the Installed Software summary. Regular old queries that provide a simple list of things remain the same. By default, all queries are now active. No longer do you need to activate individual queries. Summaries also have a special collection page that shows icons and counts for the other endpoints. By default, the homepage is set to groups, but this can be changed to summaries.

Your Group and Query definitions will need to change. We back them up into the open-audit/other/oa_group_backup.sql file (and oa_report_backup.sql) so you won't lose them. But they won't appear. You'll need to make new ones. If you need a hand, just post here.
