Separate action to navigate to linkThe action is available as all other actionsIn static text we will introduce the option to insert links with a specification similar to the markdown standard: text shown.

    Send email when threshold is hit

    Many clients want to be notified when their thresholds are hit for the source and target systems. However, the only means of notifying them is by triggering an email on the error state of a sync. There is no distinct "threshold reached" event that we can trigger on, which makes our notifications more vague than they ought to be. It would be great to have such an event that we could use to trigger an email notification.

    Snapshots

    Expand on the backup/restore options to provide an option to snapshot the service versus just the configuration. Currently repositories are available in the backup and restore to quickly backup small configuration changes and transport them to another service. Snapshots will be focused on service upgrades, encryption keys, database and more. The idea being that the service can be fully restored to a previous point while also downgrading or upgrading the service automatically to match the snapshot.

    Improve Installer handling of connectors

    Currently the installer contains outdated connectors that need to be upgraded after NIM installer is ran. We should make the following improvements Remove all Github Connectors from the installer so they can be directly maintained through the proper versioning channelsMove connectors from the Program Files files directory into the ProgramData directory. This ensures they are not removed or overwritten by the installer. Additionally this minimizes the administrative rights needed for the service account.

    Allow Retention to preserve last system snapshot

    Currently it is possible for the retention job to delete the latest snapshot for a system which means the user is presented an error message in some pages (ie. opening a system table) until a manual import is completed. An option should be added to the Retention job to preserve the latest snapshot of a system regardless of age so that there is always a dataset available for a system.

    IMPROVEMENTS AND FIXES

    SAML - The sessionNotOrAfter attribute was not correctly used, giving all sessions a 5m timeout

    SAML - When editing a new SAML configuration the authnRequestsSigned is now checked

    REST - Receiving an object array while expecting a string array will crash the service

     

    KNOWN ISSUES

    Logging - The audit log for Google membership changes can sometimes reflect changes that did not actually occur in addition to ones that did. This only occurs with Google using the Role Model.

    Internal - If you attempt to update a record in the internal.passwords table but don't specify the existing the fields already populated it could clear it out.

    CSV System - When using Windows Server 2025, it's possible to run into an "WMIC" error when retrieving a list of files on a CSV System.

Future version will use "SessionNotOnOrAfter" within the "AuthnStatement" element, which is optional. When not specified then NIM specified timeouts are used.

    Connector Configuration Sets

    A Configuration Scenario is an identifiable bundle of settings that can be used to pre-configure a NIM System. Multiple Configuration Scenarios can exist, each of which can be selected for pre-configuration of a system. After pre-configuration of a NIM System, the system's configuration can be tailored any further, after which the resulting configuration can be stored as a new Configuration Scenario, or as a replacement of an existing one. Configuration Scenarios are stored in the NIM Connector.

    Timeout Session Length control

    Session timeout control for NIM login sessions. When people with various rights to perform admin rights we should be able to control the amount of time that session lives without requiring a re-authorization. How long is the current setting ? From a security perspective I want to be able to adjust custom rules based on access rights .. eg Admin sessions can only have xyz length , password reset rights etc .. Additionally in SAML authentication support for "notOnOrAfter" attribute
