There are plenty of new features and changes in the Altenalptürm release. One of the main features that we introduced is the concept of legal entities. Those entities can be part of the organizational unit structure and can be used to delegate and assign rights not only in the context of a user or a role, but also in the context of this legal entity.

CoreOne Application API V2

• The handling of drop down values has been improved.

• Access to specific API endpoints can now be restricted with API scopes. This allows you to restrict certain clients from accessing part of the API regardless of the user rights.

CoreOne Authentication Services

• All the libraries and dependencies have been updated to the latest versions.

• There is a new flag on the application that enables you to restrict access to an application for users that have no role claim associated for that given application

• You now can configure default role and resource assignments on the application. Upon the first access of a user to that application, the configured roles and resources will automatically assigned to them. This is a new way of assigning default rights to a user. You can also change this configuration later on and it will apply to all users that have used the given application.

• You now can override the Welcome page of the Authentication Service or configure a static redirect

• All check boxes are now focusable by a tab hit and therefore meet the WCAG standards

• The fingerprint created for the clients device has been optimized to be more reliant and not trigger a new device used event if the minor version of the browser has changed

CoreOne Application Services

• All the libraries and dependencies have been updated to the latest versions.

• The organizational unit type has been extended. Besides the ability to group and organize different organizational units, you now also have the option to categorize them into legal entities, regular organizational unit and into positions.

• We have introduced a delegation context for resource assignments. You now can specify in which context a resource will be assigned to a user. This can be in the context of the user, in the context of a different user or in the context of an organizational unit or legal entity. The same support was added to the CoreOne Authentication Service so that those context values can be deployed with the token.

• There is a new event handler that allows you to execute a Next-Gen Workflow as a event handler

CoreOne Database Service

• The assembly_assembly data table used to contain all the application assemblies used to execute the application service. This allowed customers to simply update the database and restart all application services in order to update the whole installation. Because this table was causing synchronization issues when hosted in a cluster we moved this data to file system. This means that now all the application services need to be updated with the installer.

CoreOne Self Service Management Portal

• All the libraries and dependencies have been updated to the latest versions.

• The configuration file is now stored as an encrypted configuration and can only be read and changed when in possession of the local machine key. All existing configurations will be encrypted automatically.

• The files to override the footer and the header logo have change to

  • C:\ProgramData\itsense\Templates\SelfService\Features\Shared\Layout\_Footer.cshtml

  • C:\ProgramData\itsense\Templates\SelfService\Features\Shared\Layout\_Logo.cshtml

• There is a new menu item that allows you to manage representatives and representative relationships

• There is a new menu item that allows you to manage legal entities, their representatives and representative relationships

• There is a new application configuration file that lets you easily change the colour theme of the portal among other settings

• The help and contact page haven been merged to one page. It’s no longer possible to define help page URL’s. Instead you now can simply override the entire page and add the content that is most suitable for your use case.

CoreOne SAP System Connector

• The handling of end dates have been corrected. An end date of 31.21.2021 in SAP did result in an valid to of 31.12.2021 00:00:00 in the CoreOne Suite and therefore the entry was terminated to early. We have fixed this so that the same SAP end date will result in an valid to of 31.21.2021 23:59:59.

CoreOne Universal Importer

• The is_positionflag of an organizational unit has been moved to the organizational unit type where there are now three different types: legal entity, organizational unit and position.

• The active flag of an organizational unit has been moved to an organizational unit state where there are now four different states: active, inactive, deleted, activation pending

CoreOne Web Services

• All the UI masks have been made aware of the new organizational unit types, especially the legal entities.

Legacy Workflows

• We are starting to migrate all Workflows from the Microsoft .NET Workflow Foundation to a new Workflow Engine

• All existing workflows are still available and will be supported in the upcoming releases.

• New workflows will be handled with the new Workflow Engine that enables you to perform even more actions like awaiting user feedback and more.

• The new workflow designer is now web-based which allows you to configure those workflows conveniently from a browser.
