UPDATE - Re-released as 5.4.0-2 for both Windows and Linux.
Version 5.4.0 brings new authentication methods - OKTA and Entra (Azure AD). As a result, users upgrading who use either Active Directory or openLDAP for logins will need to logon using an Open-AudIT based local account (ie, not an account in Active Directory or openLDAP) to initially upgrade the database. Once done, you can go back to logging on using Active Directory and/or openLDAP accounts. The reason for this inconvenience is that we have renamed the ‘ldap_servers’ collection and database table to ‘auth’.
Numerous bugs have been squashed - see below for more info.
Version | Type | Collection | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Enterprise | New Feature | auth | Allow authentication methods of OKTA and Entra (Azure Active Directory). |
Professional | Improvement | dashboards | Disable the RSS feed as the new cloud based confluence does not support this. |
Community | Improvement | all | If we detect Open-AudIT is installed on Windows, but not on Server, show a big red warning banner and link to more information. Open-AudIT is not supported on Windows clients (Win 10/11). You must install Open-AudIT on Windows Server (2016 onwards is fine). Obviously discovering and auditing Windows clients work just fine. |
Community | Improvement | all | More Help pages added. More FAQ pages added. |
Community | Improvement | fields | On the CreateForm and Read page for fields, prevent non alpha-numeric characters being used as the name. In particular ‘space’ is not compatible in a field name. |
Community | Improvement | components | Refactor the componentsCollection template to load the table data directly in JS, rather than render the HTML for the table itself. Big performance improvement. IE - requesting 10,000 lines of software now works in under 2 seconds (as least on my hardware). Previously this would timeout. This same patch will be applied to devicesCollection next release. |
Professional | Bug | dashboards, widgets | Fix generated URL for graph data so works on Ubuntu Apache. |
Community | Bug | devices | Fix path for importing example devices. |
Community | Bug | discoveries | When running on Windows, auditing a windows target was failing after (somehow?) some code for ‘net use’ was removed. Fix this and allow for username with no domain in windows credentials without breaking. |
