IDM 4.9 released

Geoffrey Carman
 

Looks like it is out!  Available in SLD as a new item in the third row as 4.9


List of featues I heard are:

  • Support for "Microsoft Modern Authentication" - Introduces support for OAuth2 authentication specifically tailored for email accounts within Office 365.
  • Cumulative Full Installer
  • Form Renderer Updates - Revamped form renderer with updated libraries for flexible data entry.
  • ACDI – Monitoring ( Audit, Compliance and Data Intelligence ) 
  • User application Monitoring Improvements - Real-time insights via CN = Monitor for improved user application monitoring.
  • IDM Containers (OT UBI, AWS, Azure)
  • Azure AD Driver performance and scalability

Seems like some interesting changes.

I see the DTD for DirXML Script got updated with two new lines:

Changes in 4.9

Rats, do I need to update my book again?  :)  I think I will wait for some bigger changes before making a new edition.

What else have you guys found new in 4.9?

    There is one change which could be interesting (as Lothar found), all the Container Images are now based on RHEL 9.

    - No mentioning about licensing of said use of RHEL.

    - Hardware requirement is now x86-64-v2 - if you run a visualized host for docker then that one need to support x86-64-v2, otherwise you'll not be able to start the container.

    I seem to recall that I heard rumblings that this switch away from SUSE was mentioned to some partners and customers this year (wasn't at meeting personally, so only heard rumblings). One of the last remnants of the time when SUSE was under same ownership as Identity Manager is now gone I guess.

    We just checked and the new containers (except PostgreSQL) seem to be for the most part based on UBI so, then as long as OpenText was careful in not adding any non-UBI based packages it should not incur a licensing requirement.

    That said, customers could still get themselves into trouble if they insist on adding additional packages that are not UBI-licensed to the containers.

    PostgreSQL appears to still use the official PostgreSQL image which is based on Debian.
