CRED-7690

There was an issue when revoking certificates directly in the smart card encoding process (setting certificates on hold), where the revocation state was not returned correctly to Identity Manager after encoding. This has been fixed.



X





CRED-7956

The logging for the "change state in CA" task fails was not clear. This has been fixed by adding a more clear message into the logfile.



X





CRED-9309

There was an issue with translations of "meta fields" (for example, object status, Template name etc.) in Self-Service. This has been fixed.



X





CRED-9885

Unnecessary warning messages regarding "Certificate-based logout" are now removed from the Identity Manager Operator logs.



X





CRED-10258

Configuration of a custom attribute statement (instead of name ID) for SAML authentication in Identity Manager was not working. This has been fixed.



X





CRED-10335

The "forgot password" link, and the "pre-login" process in general, disappeared in Self-Service when doing a page refresh. This has been fixed.



X





CRED-10408

X





CRED-10496

Fixed coloring by showing warning messages in orange again in Self-Service.

There was an issue when revoking certificates via the certificate state graphs of the standard packages. Consolidation of supported revocation reasons and certificate states of the standard workflow package has been done for all PKI connectors in order to resolve these issues.



X





CRED-10758

When deleting states from a state graph, the deleted states where still displayed in the extended search dropdown menu, because the states where still present in the core template configuration. Consistency checks have been added to avoid such situations.



X





CRED-10811

Self-Service was throwing an error after login, when no searches with purpose "self-service" (to show in the menu bar) where configured. This has been fixed.



X





CRED-10828

X





CRED-10941

Field validation error messages in Self-Service (e.g. missing mandatory field input) where not shown correctly for "meta fields" (status, template name, change state reason etc). This has been fixed.



X





CRED-11036

When disabling a BatchSync job in Identity Manager Operator, it got executed anyway (disable flag was ignored). This has been fixed.



X

Fixed a multi-language issue when using SAML/ LDAP authentication profiles. Other languages than English where not translated correctly i that case.

X





CRED-11507

When uploading a PDF file of binary type document/PDF in Self-Service, the pre-selected extensions in the upload window was wrong (*.jpeg instead of *.pdf). Also upload did not work after changing the pre-selection. This is fixed now.

Fixed count of number of requests (ReqNb field) in the IN Groupe card order export. 



X





DEVOPS-1205

X





DA-261
