Ticket Details​

Support data URLs in Service Broker images​

Audience: Operator
Component: meshfed

Description​

Service Brokers can provide images (i.e. icons) as metadata for their services. While regular URLs were already supported, images can now also be directly encoded as data URLs.

Improved consistent display of date/time​

Audience: User
Component: panel

Description​

Fixed some instances where times were not shown as user local time and made cases explicit where UTC times are used.

Fix deletion of unpublished service brokers​

Audience: Customer
Component: meshfed

Description​

The deletion of unpublished service brokers failed in some cases where service instances have already been provisioned. This issue has been fixed.

Enables Project Role approval process​

Audience: Customer, Partner, Operator
Component: meshfed, panel

Description​

Operator can (optionally) configure the system to require an approval process when new project roles are assigned (or changed). Another customer admin who exists can then approve the or decline this role request. Additional information can be found in the authorization documentation.

Platform notifications without time restrictions​

Audience: Partner
Component: panel

Description​

Platform notifications can be created without setting a start or end date/time. Notifications without a start will be shown immediately and remain until they are deleted or updated if they have no end set.

Display OS Licenses in Admin Area​

Audience: Operator

Description​

The used Open Source Libraries and Licenses for the Front- and Backend are now displayed via a link in the Administrator Area.

Automatically redirect to IdP on Login​

Audience: User, Operator
Component: release-note

Description​

Operators can now configure the login flow to automatically redirect to a specifc Identity Provider. When enabled, users are directly redirected to the Identity Provider without having to enter their email address or username first.

How to use​

Operators can enable this setting by setting the web.sso.kc_idp_hint configuration flag. This setting is useful when you're using a single Identity Provider only. Deployments integrating with multiple Identity Providers should not set this configuration.

Support for 'ExternalId' when accessing AWS Accounts​

Audience: Operator
Component: replicator

Description​

Meshstack AWS Connector now supplies a configurable ExternalId when assuming roles in a managed AWS Account from a privileged context. This improves security of managed AWS Accounts.

How to use​

Operators need to add update meshstack replicator-aws service configuration and adapt their AWS IAM Policies to take advantage of ExternalId support. More details can be found in the documentation

Private service broker deactivating​

Audience: Customer
Component: release-note

Description​

Customer can now deactivate private service broker. This action will deactivate all marketplace services and stop service catalog refreshing.
