Automation Suite release notes
2023.10.7
Release date: December 18, 2024
We have introduced new configuration flags to give you more control over the Kerberos authentication. You can now use the following flags to customize the Kerberos authentication settings:
-
kerberos_auth_config.enable_integrated_sql_auth
: This flag allows you to decouple the Kerberos authentication from the SQL authentication login, and to enable or disable Kerberos authentication for SQL across all your products. -
<serviceGroupName>.kerberos_auth_config.enabled
: This flag allows you to control the use of Kerberos authentication for SQL authentication at product level. You must replace<serviceGroupName>
with the name of your product.
These new flags bring changes to the priority order for SQL Kerberos authentication, as follows:
-
Kerberos authentication for SQL is enabled by default when Kerberos authentication is enabled.
-
If you set
kerberos_auth_config.enable_integrated_sql_auth
tofalse
, Kerberos authentication for SQL is disabled across all your products. -
If you set
<serviceGroupName>.kerberos_auth_config.enabled
tofalse
, Kerberos SQL authentication is disabled for the specified product.
For more details on Kerberos authentication, see Setting up Kerberos authentication.
We have introduced more prerequisite checks to optimize the overall experience of installing and configuring Automation Suite and to catch missing requirements earlier. Here are some highlights:
-
A new validation check ensures that the
READ_COMMITTED_SNAPSHOT
option is enabled in the SQL Server database. We have implemented this check validation for Orchestrator, Apps, and Process Mining. -
We have introduced a prerequisite check in the
mirror-registry.sh
andhydrate-registry.sh
scripts to validate the OCI compliance of the external registry before uploading images.
kube-logging
. Now, you can forward logs to Splunk using the OpenTelemetry Collector.
For details, see Forwarding logs to external tools.
-
The support bundle now collects logs for the
uipath-auth
andvelero
namespaces. -
The support bundle now captures custom resources.
We continue to provide security updates and patches to address Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs).
-
We have fixed an issue causing a side-by-side upgrade to fail in an offline environment when Apps was enabled.
-
We have fixed an issue that caused Insights data loss when you reinstalled or upgraded Insights following an Automation Suite upgrade from version 2023.4 or older.
-
We have fixed an Insights annotation issue that would block the Automation Suite installer.
-
We have fixed an issue that caused log collection for RKE2 system commands to run indefinitely.
-
We have fixed an issue causing the
aicenter skill sync
andaicenter skill status
commands to fail during a side-by-side upgrade. This issue occurred due to a syntax error. -
An issue was preventing
exclude=rke2-*
from being automatically added to the/etc/yum.conf
file on all nodes. This issue occurred particularly in online environments and caused an unintentional upgrade of the RKE2 service on nodes other than the first server. Previously, you had to manually add the exception to the/etc/yum.conf
on all nodes. We have fixed the issue. -
We have fixed an issue causing unnecessary DNS resolution validation for
redis.<primary-fqdn>
andredis-db.<primary-fqdn>
during Active/Passive prerequisite checks. This behavior no longer occurs. -
We have fixed an issue that occurred in non-HA Redis scenarios, where the
redis-cluster-0
pod could get stuck in a terminating state during node drain operations. This behavior no longer occurs. -
When using style attributes in the HTML tags while customizing your Login page, they reflected accurately in the preview. However, upon saving the changes, the style attributes were deleted automatically. Now, all style attributes used within tags persist after saving your changes.
-
An issue was causing installation or upgrade failures when enabling Connaisseur during the configuration of an external OCI-compliant registry. This issue occurred when the
registries.trust.enabled
parameter was set totrue
in thecluster_config.json
file. We have fixed the issue. -
We have fixed an issue causing the upgrade to fail due to the overriding of existing Insights PVC sizes.
-
We fixed a bug that was breaking SAML2 when basic authentication was disabled, along with various other bugs.
