Features
| Jira ticket no | Description |
|---|---|
| DA-1429 | It is now possible to provision a new OATH profile securely, so that a generated activation link can be used only once. An expiry time can also be set.
The Secure activation only works if it is a one-factor OATH. It is not applicable if 2-factor authentication is selected.
See Set up Secure activation for OATH for more information. |
Minor improvements
| Jira ticket no | Description |
|---|---|
| DA-424 | The MS SQL JDBC driver is upgraded to the latest version,12.4.1. This JDBC version enables SSL communication by default, and requires a TLS certificate to be used for communication between Digital Access and the database.
If the communication should be encrypted, make sure the CA and root CA of the server certificate are uploaded in Digital Access under the Certificates section.
For disabling TLS in the JDBC URL, add "encrypt=false" in the JDBC URL configuration. For more information, see Microsoft's recommendation on Connecting with encryption. |
