[Unity-idm-discuss] Unity 3.16.0 released

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

Dead Subscribers,

I'm happy to announce a bit unexpected, 3.16.0 release. While our 4.0.0 
major release gets delayed, we wanted to publish couple of recent 
improvements still on the 3.x branch, and then focus on fixing the 
remaining issues with 4.0.0. Unity 4 is expected soon, however we still 
polish the rewritten UI. Our hope is to release it in May.


      Release Highlights

The 3.16.0 release is brings several notable improvements:

  * It is possible to create dynamic policies, activating 2FA. Exposed
    as a new policy in Authentication Flow configuration. Dynamic MVEL
    based rule can take decision basing on user’s attributes, 1st factor
    used and other information.
  * SAML IdP can be configured to return the NotBefore constraint
  * SAML authenticator can filter trusted federation IdPs basing on
    their attributes set in metadata
  * Authentication Context Reference obtained from upstream OAuth and
    SAML IdPs is preserved and exposed for use in output profile as well
    as available in dynamic MFA activation policy. This allows for
    forwarding this information to Unity relying parties as well as
    ensuring MFA is not repeated, if was already performed by upstream IdP.
  * Several performance optimizations were applied:
      o fixed problem with slow loading of Requests view in Console, in
        case of many user enquiry responses
      o when entering console the root group is not automatically
        selected in Groups Browser.
      o there are small optimizations in bulk query API, improving some
        of the Unity operations spanning whole users directory.
      o indexes were added to the tokens DB table


      Migration consideration

MySQL users shall ensure that permissions to create procedures are 
granted to the Unity DB user. See Update instructions in the manual for 
details, if you are on this DB.


Best regards,
