[Unity-idm-discuss] Unity 3.14.0 released

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

Dear Subscribers,

I'm happy to announce availability of a new Unity release.

As always all relevant links are available at 
https://unity-idm.eu/releases/release-3-14-0/

The 3.14.0 release focuses on performance improvements, when operating 
on large user databases. Besides, some smaller feature requests were 
implemented as well as many bugs were addressed.


        Performance

Changes should resolve slow:

  * inviting multiple users from UpMan
  * OAuth tokens listing in Console
  * bulk registration requests processing
  * loading of registration form


        More capable authorization on IdP

A new released data profile action “stopAuthentication” allows for 
conditional breaking of the authentication flow. The difference from the 
already present “failAuthentication” action is, that user’s agent is not 
redirected back to the client with error response, but instead lands on 
an embedded Unity “finalization” page, which can be flexibly configured.

This feature works the same for both OAuth and SAML IdP endpoints.


        Other improvements

  * ORCID integration was updated, catching up with ORCID API changes
  * Admin can configure size limit for JSON database dump upload, also
    the default limit is dynamic, computed basing on available server’s
    memory.
  * Demo/quickstart server certificate was updated
  * Postgresql based installation handle JSON dump imports correctly now
  * Unity will display caption configured in custom layout of a form,
    also when it is the very first element of the form
  * Attributes preset by invitations which where shown in form are now
    displayed correctly, w/o metadata.


Best regards,
Krzysztof
