1.7.0
General
nmaas 1.7.0 is a milestone release containing some long-awaited features including support for OIDC IdP login and introduction of user access tokens.
Apart from the major changes detailed below the following updates were made.
- Upgrade of Java to version 17 along with upgrading to Spring Boot 3.4.
- Added bulk deployment status and progress information on the bulk details view and summary information about all ongoing deployments.
- Implemented data caching mechanism to speed up application catalog view load time.
Integration with OIDC-compliant IdP
Moved away from the custom SAML-based IdP integration in favor of adding OIDC support. Support for an OIDC-compliant Identity Provider can be enabled using a new set of parameters.
Such IdP is used for federated account login and the user account data and role assignment is still maintained in the nmaas database.
User access token management
Added possibility for users to generate personal access tokens to be used for interaction with the API bypassing the Portal and standard JWT-based mechanism.
The newly available authentication mechanism will be applied to existing or new REST endpoints as part of subsequent software releases, e.g. to enable new application version publishing.
