[Unity-idm-discuss] 2.7.3 released

[Krzysztof B. <kb...@un...>]

Dear Subscribers,

The next release – *2.7.3* – is out. It includes numerous small to 
medium improvements and one important bugfix.

The most significant changes are:

  * Registration form can be configured now to automatically login a
    user who submitted a registration request and the request was
    auto-accepted. (Won’t work if user has to confirm her email first).
  * Couple of password related improvements were added:
      o Password reset is not required anymore after changing password
        storage/hashing parameters. Instead a password is rehashed on
        the fly when user is being signed in for the first time after
        configuration change.
      o Identities grid in AdminUI allows now for showing a detailed
        information on all credential statuses.
      o When editing password quality settings, admin can verify with
        one click whether the setting is secure and how it will affect
        sign in time.
  * Forgotten password reset UI was refactored not to use popup dialogs.
    This the last step of aligning UX of the authN screen: all sign in,
    registration, outdated password and forgotten password UIs are using
    the same full screen, clean approach, which is simpler to use and
    easier to brand.
  * Session expiration handling was improved. The older method was not
    perfect, e.g. session inactivity timeouts were enforced with +/- 20s
    tolerance. Current implementation should be precise and more solid.
  * A bug which was causing some of the dynamic attributes not to be
    returned was fixed. This affected a single REST API resource
    (resolving of complete group contents) and custom attribute columns
    in Admin UI Identities grid.

Complete list of changes is available on the
