Release Notes
New Features in Version 1.3 (Release Date 2024-09-24)
Apart from bug fixes and performance enhancements, the release contains the following new features:
Enhancement of the Login Options: New Workspace 'External Authentication'
From now on, administrators of the Lucanet CFO Solution Platform can configure and enable an External Identity Provider in the External Authentication workspace. The following authentication protocols are available: OIDC and SAML.
The External authentication workspace is displayed as follows, for example:
The ‘External authentication’ workspace
If external authentication is activated, the Enable external authentication option is available when creating or editing a user. If external authentication is not activated within the External Authentication workspace, the option to Enable external authentication will not be visible for the administrator when creating or editing a user. Thus, the users will continue to log in with their Lucanet credentials.
This enhancement allows for more flexibility and security when logging in, improves the user experience, and enables seamless integration into our customers' existing IT infrastructure.
Improved User Management Efficiency: New Labels And Filter Options for Special User Groups
In version 1.3, we have further optimized the user management. Administrators of the Lucanet CFO Solution Platform can now identify and manage users more quickly using the following labels:
| Label | Users |
|---|---|
 | Lucanet.Certified Professional users |
 | Permanently locked users |
 | Users for whom external authentication is activated |
As soon as one of these options is configured for a new or existing user, the label appears after the user name in the list of users. If you hover over the label, a tooltip displays the corresponding information.
In addition, a new filter above the list of users enables a targeted search and quick display of the three user groups.
No More Licenses Needed for Lucanet.Certified Professional Users
With the new release, Lucanet.Certified Professional users no longer require license slots. This allows Lucanet.Certified Professional users to be assigned roles in a licensed solution even when there are no more license slots available.
