Access Gateway
These release notes provide information on new features, fixed issues, known issues, and limitations.
Improvements
- Skip user validation
-
Adds a configuration option to certrain models to skip user validation via ID Server when appropriate, simplifying some scenarios.
- Last used authentication method improvement
-
Improvements to the handling of the user’s last used authentication method, improving user experience between sign-ins.
- modForms — Hide FIDO when not supported
-
Enhances modForms so that FIDO methods are hidden when
publicKeyCredentialsare not supported by the client, preventing user confusion on unsupported devices.
Defects solved
- modForms - FIDO - Locked user message
-
Corrects the error message shown when a locked user attempts to sign in using FIDO. The message now clearly indicates that Pointsharp ID rejected the user.
- HttpClient connector - Server response Content-Type
-
Ensures that modules such as modRewrite receive the correct server response
Content-Type, resolving issues where the response header was not properly set. - modAuth - User agent matching
-
Fixes an issue where the authentication policy user agent matching in modAuth was not case-insensitive, leading to inconsistent policy evaluation.
- modForms - Arrow key navigation
-
Resolves a problem where using the keyboard up/down arrow keys in the login form caused the selection to jump two steps instead of one.
- modForms - Dropdown focus handling
-
Fixes an issue where an expanded dropdown in the login form remained open when the user pressed the
Tabkey, improving keyboard navigation. - LoginApp module - Multi-value exception
-
Addresses an unhandled exception in the LoginApp module that occurred when the reply from ID Server contained multiple
memberofvalues. - modCertificate - Send attributes as claims
-
The Access Gateway now correctly uses ID Server user attribute values by sending them back as claims (
claim type = attributeKey,value = attributeValue). - modEasV2 - Stored folder ID list
-
Fixes an exception in modEasV2 triggered when a stored folder ID was missing (for example, after adding a custom folder that was not present in the ID Server folder list). The module now requests a fresh folder list from the EAS protocol when needed.
