Breaking changes

File Manager SFTP

If you are currently using keyfiles for connecting to an SFTP server with the File Manager component, as indicated by the KeyFilePath column, please note the following changes:

Old Behavior

In the absence of a keyfile, the Credentials column declared both the username and password required for server authentication.

If a keyfile was present, the Credentials column declared the username for server authentication and the password necessary for decrypting the keyfile.

New Behavior

In the updated version, the Credentials column consistently declares both the username and password required for server authentication.

A new column, KeyFileCredentials, has been introduced to declare the username for server authentication and the password necessary for decrypting the keyfile.

New features

Support for encrypted SAML assertions

When using SAML Single-Sign On, you now have the option to specify a decryption certificate for use when the Identity Provider sends encrypted assertions.

While SAML encryption offers an additional layer of security, even without it data integrity is still maintaned through message signing and secure HTTPS transmission.

Suport for dual authentication in SFTP

This update introduces the ability to employ both a password and a keyfile simultaneously for authenticating with SFTP servers. You do so by using all three of the columns Credentials, KeyFilePath, and KeyFileCredentials.
