These are the news for Nexus Hybrid Access Gateway.

2018-11-16

Nexus is proud to announce the availability of Nexus Hybrid Access Gateway 5.13. Click here for release note.

Main new features in this release:

  • OpenID Connect is now supported by Hybrid Access Gateway
    The federation technology OpenID Connect can now be used as an authentication method in Nexus Hybrid Access Gateway. This means that Hybrid Access Gateway can be connected to external Identity Providers (IdPs) that support OpenID Connect, for example Google, Norwegian BankID and Verimi.

  • Added support for Oracle database
    The new version of Hybrid Access Gateway has support for Oracle database to be used as external database.

    Due to required changes on a database level a dialect must be added if using an external report database before upgrading to the new version. Without the dialect entry, the connection to the reporting database will fail unless the entry was entered and the administration service was restarted. For further information, see Change report database for Hybrid Access Gateway.

  • Direct integration of Nexus Personal Desktop
    Secure login is now even more convenient in Hybrid Access Gateway, with added smart card support via Nexus Personal Desktop, which is useful, for example, to make digital signatures in Nexus GO Signing.

Nexus is proud to announce the availability of Nexus Hybrid Access Gateway 5.12. Click here for release note.

Main new features in this release:

  • OATH authentication with Google Authenticator et al
    The OATH authentication method in Hybrid Access Gateway now supports software token like Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator. With Personal Mobile 3.7 or higher Nexus provides its own implementation of OATH as a software token.
  • Authentication with Freja eID
    With the introduction of Freja eID, Hybrid Access Gateway now supports three different Swedish eIDs. It supports (Mobilt) BankID and Freja eID over a native interface and AB Svenska Pass over SAML.

  • Authentication with Personal Mobile certificate
    Besides raw keys Personal Mobile also supports profiles with certificates. In this case the certificates were issued by a CA such as Nexus Certificate Manager. Hybrid Access Gateway now supports authentication with these certificates without the need to know about the user and its user name.

If you run Hybrid Access Gateway version 5.10.x or older you must first update the certificates for trusting the upgrade server before you can perform an online upgrade of Hybrid Access Gateway.

Nexus is proud to announce the availability of Nexus Hybrid Access Gateway 5.11.2. Click here for release notes.

Important issues fixed in this release:

  • Nexus GO Authentication with Swedish BankID
    With the first version of the NexusGO authentication method it was not possible to map the login credential of BankID (personnel number) to an attribute of the Hybrid Access Gateway user. The user id was used by default. Therefore, the user in Hybrid Access Gateway needed to have the BankID as user id. 
    A new Extended Property "User Attribute" has been added to allow mapping to, for example, an AD attribute.
