Identity Console is improvised to manage both lower case and upper case for ldapuser parameter in the edirapi_osp.conf. (Defect: 495155)
The installer modifies the rights of the server and CA certificates so that they are accessible to the NDS users. (Defect: 514057)
If the user validates an expired server certificate a message appears as certificate is invalid. Server certificate creation with a dot (.) is now possible. Admin users are now able to import in formats using base64 encoding and in .der format.
The Contextual browser displays the Clear all Cached Events option when multiple objects are selected. The display of entries do not overlap when multiple entries are selected for migration from IDVault. Application timeouts and refreshing the application web pages redirect the user to the login page immediately. The full name is now auto-populated after entering the first and last names for user creation.
Appropriate error messages are displayed when a non-admin user tries to import certificates in base64 and .der formats. Error messages are displayed when the installer is unable to find the certificate paths for Identity Console installation. Proper messages are displayed when accessing the Certificate management tile in SuiteB mode.
Installer accepts server certificate in.pfx format only. Various input validations are now implemented in the Installer. Identity Console installer now detects the machine IP automatically during installation.
To improve the query performance, the SchemaCache update frequency is set to 15 minutes. The limit of concurrent requests processing in Identity Console is improved.
Identity Console 1.5 comes with Role-Based Entitlements (RBE). The RBE helps Administrators to assign application-specific permissions and access rights to users depending on their role.
Identity Console 1.5 comes with a contextual search field. A contextual search is a form of optimizing web-based search results based on the context provided by the user.
