6.2 | Test emails sent from MAPS Config now support Unicode characters in the email body. | MAPS-1808 | |
6.2 | MAPS now supports connecting to email and FTPS servers with TLS versions 1.1 and 1.2.Previously, only version 1.0 was supported. | MAPS-1903 | |
6.2 | User interface | Updated the Edit Data Connection dialog to streamline configuration by selecting the connection type on the first screen. | MAPS-2111 |
6.2 | User interface | Updated the icons used for various types of data connections and renamed "connection pools" to "connection groups". | MAPS-2147 |
6.2 | Accessibility | The top and right panes in the MapsDbConfig utility used for clustered installations did not update their background colors when Windows was set to a High Contrast theme, resulting in the text not being visible. | MAPS-2013 |
6.2 | Accessibility | Improved contrast of the left menu in the MAPS Database Configuration Wizard. | MAPS-2020 |
6.2 | CAS | CAS users were being included in the Everyone group even if they were not added to MAPS individually or a member of an LDAP group that was added to MAPS. | MAPS-2101 |
6.2 | Cloud Connector | Cloud Connector data connections were leaving a 1 MB temporary file behind in the local AppData directory each time the data was refreshed. | MAPS-2004 |
6.2 | Clustered installations | After updating a mapplet or the MAPS license in a clustered environment, the update was still appearing in the list of available updates after switching to a different node within the cluster. | MAPS-1993 |
6.2 | Clustered installations | Changing the MAPS database configuration from one PostgreSQL schema to another or from SQLite to PostgreSQL without migrating data from a previous SQLite database was resulting in an error when attempting to access MAPS Config. | MAPS-2018 |
6.2 | Clustered installations | When adding a node to an existing cluster, the database configuration wizard allowed invalid config.json files, which would cause an access violation and prevent the wizard from being rerun. | MAPS-2019 |
6.2 | Clustered installations | In clustered environments, the option to disable users after a certain number of incorrect login attempts was counting login attempts on a per-node basis.This feature now works correctly no matter which node the user tries to log in to. | MAPS-2059 |
6.2 | Config | System messages longer than the width of the screen were being cut off in the MAPS Config application instead of wrapping. | MAPS-1925 |
6.2 | Config | MAPS was retaining one backup fewer than the number of functional backups to keep specified on the Server -> Backups screen. | MAPS-1958 |
6.2 | Log files | The error message that appeared in the log file when MAPS was unable to acquire a read lock was showing a variable placeholder instead of the name of the locked resource. | MAPS-1905 |
6.2 | Security | Using the Random button on the Change Password dialog occasionally resulted in an "ERangeError" exception, particularly when MAPS was configured to use more stringent passwords. | MAPS-2152 |
6.2 | User interface | In MAPS and Argos 6.1, various windows that would previously remember their size and location between sessions were no longer restoring these settings.This issue also affected DataBlocks run in the Argos client. | MAPS-2035 |
6.2 | eLauncher | If the eLauncher was opened in multiple browser tabs, logging in to one tab would also log in on the other tabs, but the other tabs were not associated with a username. | MAPS-1889 |
6.1.1 | Auditing | MAPS now stores all auditing records in the MAPS auditing database instead of archiving older records to the file system. | MAPS-1997 |
6.1.1 | Cloud Connector | Added a digital signature to the Cloud Connector identifying it as a genuine Evisions application. | MAPS-1912 |
6.1.1 | Data connections | The User/Group Rules screen of the data connection dialog now supports referencing the current user as a variable when specifying a username and password. This option may be used to configure access via a proxy account in Banner 9 environments. For example, entering "banproxy[$($User.Name)]" in the username field would authenticate to the database using the banproxy account with the current user as the proxy user. | MAPS-1589 |
6.1.1 | Data Warehouse | Added a MapsNode table that contains system information about each MAPS server node to the Data Warehouse. | MAPS-1913 |
6.1.1 | Documentation | Updated the Hardware and Software Requirements document to include recommended specifications as well as the minimum requirements for MAPS servers. | MAPS-2042 |
6.1.1 | Performance | MAPS can now be installed in a clustered environment consisting of multiple MAPS server nodes behind a load balancer, providing increased performance, stability, and redundancy. | MAPS-1550 |
6.1.1 | Security | Updated the OpenSSL .dll files packaged with MAPS to version 1.0.2p. | MAPS-2029 |
6.1.1 | Server | The nightly MAPS backup now includes optimizations for the MAPS and Argos SQLite databases, potentially reducing file sizes and improving performance. | MAPS-1976 |
6.1.1 | Accessibility | Screen readers were reading the buttons used to close dialogs in the eLauncher as "Times" instead of "Close Dialog". | MAPS-1419 |
6.1.1 | Config | On the Server -> IP Restrictions screen, columns containing dates did not sort correctly when clicking on the column headers. | MAPS-1960 |
6.1.1 | Config | On the Auditing -> Summary screen, the Value column did not sort correctly when clicking on the column header. | MAPS-1962 |
6.1.1 | Config | On the Schedules screen, sorting by Start/End Time was dividing the schedules with blank Start/End times into two groups based on whether or not the schedule had been edited at some point. | MAPS-1965 |
6.1.1 | Config | On the Scheduling -> Configuration screen, the button used to reset the default timeout to 10 minutes was temporarily changing the value to 0, which would then change to 10 upon saving. | MAPS-1966 |
6.1.1 | Config | Attempting to import a MAPS license from file was resulting in an error if the Evisions product update site was not reachable from the MAPS server. | MAPS-1967 |
6.1.1 | Config | Removed the nonfunctional "Upload to CO-OP" button from the Data Dictionary screen. | MAPS-1975 |
6.1.1 | Help | The MAPS help incorrectly stated that the MAPS service must be stopped in order to copy the directories containing MAPS backups. | MAPS-2028 |
6.1.1 | Installation | After importing the MAPS license file for the first time, the License Key field was not filled out for the applications and the message "Invalid License" was shown until the license was re-imported or read from web. | MAPS-1917 |
6.1.1 | Performance | The MAPS database was not decreasing in size when data was removed. | MAPS-1974 |
6.1.1 | Scheduling | When editing a schedule in MAPS Config, the maximum timeout was displaying as 0 regardless of the actual timeout length if the Use Default box was checked. | MAPS-1981 |
6.1 | Accessibility | The Windows client applications (Argos, FormFusion, IntelleCheck, and MAPS Config) can now be launched when using the keyboard to navigate the eLauncher. | MAPS-693 |
6.1 | Accessibility | The Help buttons that appear on various dialogs throughout the eLauncher were reading as "english/default" to screen reader users. | MAPS-704 |
6.1 | Cloud Connector | The Cloud Connector now supports paginated APIs that pass data through using multiple calls. | MAPS-1884 |
6.1 | Data Dictionary | On the Data Dictionary screen, dictionary entries now have an explicit default sort order. You can still change the sort by clicking on the column headers. | MAPS-1898 |
6.1 | Documentation | Updated the minimum system requirements to specify that users running Internet Explorer browsers must be on at least version 11. | MAPS-1804 |
6.1 | LDAP | When an LDAP server was set to use nested group lookup implemented by the LDAP server, the values in the specified User Groups attribute (e.g. memberOf) were being ignored even if the LDAP server was not configured to use nesting. MAPS now unions the results of the group nesting search with those found using the specified User Groups attribute. | MAPS-1786 |
6.1 | Scheduling | Added an option to the Users -> Password Policy screen that controls storing of LDAP users' passwords when they create schedules in Argos. If this option is unchecked, you will need to set a MAPS user as the system-level default user for schedules so that schedules created by LDAP users can continue running. | MAPS-1793 |
6.1 | Security | When using HTTPS, all MAPS resources now also load over HTTPS. This change resolves security scan warnings pertaining to passive mixed content vulnerability. Note that in order to avoid reintroducing mixed content, customized resources such as the eLauncher logo will also need to use HTTPS. | MAPS-1775 |
6.1 | Accessibility | Removed the user-scalable=no and maximum-scale=1.0 attributes that told browsers to disallow resizing of the eLauncher. This issue resulted in a technical accessibility violation; however, all supported browsers allowed users to zoom in regardless of these settings. | MAPS-1413 |
6.1 | CAS | When configuring authentication through CAS, MAPS was ignoring all <cas:Groups> nodes other than the last one in the list. MAPS now supports any number of groups nodes. | MAPS-1791 |
6.1 | Diagnostics | When MAPS was installed on a Windows 10 machine, the boot date/time on the Diagnostics screen was showing as "NET STATISTICS". | MAPS-1918 |
6.1 | Groups | When checking permissions for specific objects in Argos, MAPS was unable to determine whether a CAS user had the necessary permissions based on their LDAP group membership. | MAPS-1840 |
6.1 | Inspector | In the Inspector, attempting to refresh an individual connected client resulted in missing information for that client. | MAPS-1796 |
6.1 | Installation | After installing MAPS from the 6.0.0 setup.exe, the default IP range for the Universal Launcher was not configured automatically as it should have been. MAPS will now create this range automatically if one is not present. | MAPS-1799 |
6.0.1 | Cloud Connector | The Cloud Connector can now be used on 32-bit MAPS servers. | MAPS-1810 |
6.0.1 | Cloud Connector | When refreshing data in the Cloud Connector, the fetch operation would sometimes time out and produce a database with empty tables. | MAPS-1815 |
6.0.1 | Scheduling | Unicode special characters were not displaying correctly in the bodies of scheduled emails from Argos. This issue was previously resolved in version 5.2.1 but reappeared in 6.0. | MAPS-1819 |
6.0 | Database | Unsent emails and their attachments are now stored in the MAPS database instead of in an Emails folder on the server. | MAPS-1665 |
6.0 | Database | Added an ApplicationEdition table to the MAPS database to support future 64-bit versions of the MAPS applications. The existing ApplicationVersion table has been renamed to ApplicationEditionVersion. | MAPS-1634 |
6.0 | Data Warehouse | The ActivityDate fields in the Audit and AuditSummary tables of the Data Warehouse have been updated from type DATE to DATETIME to reflect the fact that they contain both a date and a time component. | MAPS-1672 |
6.0 | Data connections | Added a Cloud Connector option to data connections, which can be used to import data from 3rd-party web applications. Refer to the Argos Connect documentation or Argos 6.0 Release Guide for more information. | MAPS-1594 |
6.0 | eLauncher | Increased the contrast of the text in the eLauncher that prompts users to download and install the Evisions Application Launcher. | MAPS-1677 |
6.0 | eLauncher | The Java launcher, which began deprecation in 2015 due to security issues with the underlying technology, has now been removed as an option in MAPS. Users who have not yet logged in using the Evisions Application Launcher will be prompted to install it the first time they attempt to launch a MAPS application after the upgrade. | MAPS-1120 |
6.0 | Security | Updated the OpenSSL .dll files packaged with MAPS to version 1.0.2l. | MAPS-1627 |
6.0 | Server | Added Windows Server 2016 to the list of supported operating systems. | MAPS-1483 |
6.0 | Config | Navigating to the Inspector section of MAPS Config was resulting in the error "Invalid floating point operation" in cases where the MAPS server and the local machine where the client was running were using different regional number symbols. | MAPS-1645 |
6.0 | Diagnostics | Under the Web Server section of the MAPS Diagnostics screen, "Use HTTPS" was showing the value for HTTP instead of HTTPS. | MAPS-1662 |
6.0 | eLauncher | After changing your password in the eLauncher, the title of the Change Password dialog was showing as "[object Object]". | MAPS-1514 |
6.0 | FTP | Applied the latest updates from SecureBlackBox to provide support for a wider number of encryption ciphers. This resolves an issue some clients were having when attempting to connect to BrickFTP and some other SFTP servers. | MAPS-1785 |
6.0 | LDAP | When attempting to bulk update LDAP users via an import file that included changes to the users' LDAP server names and DNs, MAPS was not updating the LDAP information unless the Source field was also included in the input file. | MAPS-1427 |
6.0 | Product Updater | When checking for updates in MAPS, the update process would sometimes fail intermittently, producing various SOAP or "Bad Gateway" error messages. | MAPS-1087 |
6.0 | Queries | When using a native Oracle connection, trailing spaces were being trimmed from the ends of string values returned from dropdown objects on the dashboard. | MAPS-1702 |
5.4.1 | In MAPS 5.4.0, email servers configured to use TLS with port 25 or 465 were attempting to send traffic using port 587 instead. | MAPS-1628 | |
5.4.1 | Improved the user interface of the Edit Email dialog to better support bulk updating of multiple emails. Fields that have different values will now display <multiple> and will not update unless a new value is entered into that specific field. This allows MAPS administrators to bulk edit a single field, such as the date to send, without affecting other fields. | MAPS-1625 | |
5.4 | Applications | Removed Windows XP from the list of supported operating systems. The MAPS applications currently run on Windows XP; however, any users who are still on this operating system should be aware that Microsoft's extended support period ended on April 8th, 2014 and we may therefore be unable to resolve issues with running our software on Windows XP should they occur in the future. | MAPS-1348 |
5.4 | Applications | Removed Windows Vista from the list of supported operating systems. The MAPS applications currently run on Windows Vista; however, any users who are still on this operating system should be aware that Microsoft's extended support period ended on April 11th, 2017 and we may therefore be unable to resolve issues with running our software on Windows Vista should they occur in the future. | MAPS-1363 |
5.4 | Diagnostics | When performing a functional or automatic backup, MAPS now stores a copy of the diagnostic information in a server_diagnostics.txt file in the backup directory. | MAPS-948 |
5.4 | Removed the character limit for the "To:" field when sending emails. Previously, only 128 characters were allowed for the email address(es). | MAPS-1460 | |
5.4 | When an email is stuck in the MAPS queue due to a transmission error, you can now edit an invalid email address so the email can be resent. | MAPS-1050 | |
5.4 | HTTP/HTTPS | Improved the process for binding the ports used for HTTP, HTTPS, and TCP to reduce issues if the ports are not released in a timely manner after the nightly restart. Instead of failing after 5 attempts several seconds apart, MAPS now waits 60 seconds before attempting to bind the port again, and continues until success. If the port is unavailable, MAPS now adds useful debugging information to the log file. | MAPS-1490 |
5.4 | Help | The "What's New" link in the eLauncher now always opens the latest version of the page regardless of the version of the eLauncher you are running. | MAPS-1458 |
5.4 | Help | When opening the help from within MAPS, you will now always be taken to the latest version of the help regardless of your installed MAPS version. | MAPS-1375 |
5.4 | LDAP | When configuring an LDAP server, you can now edit the default user search class of "objectClass=user". This provides better support for authentication sources that use object classes other than the default. Previously, using such a server required adding all users to MAPS individually. | MAPS-453 |
5.4 | Scheduling | When editing a schedule, the dialog now indicates if the "Run schedule as this user" field is being overridden by a system-level Run As user on the Scheduling -> Configuration screen. | MAPS-1330 |
5.4 | User interface | Added search boxes to the Users, LDAP Resource Users, Groups, Data Connections, and Schedules screens to allow you to find items more easily. | MAPS-1077 |
5.4 | Data connections | Selecting the entire contents of a multi-column list box was taking significantly longer when using a native database connection than it did when using an ADO connection. | MAPS-1472 |
5.4 | LDAP | When using an LDAP server that did not have the "objectClass=user" user search class, users were unable to log in after the upgrade to MAPS 5.0 even when they had been added to MAPS as individual users. This issue was resolved as part of the enhancement to support custom object classes (MAPS-453). | MAPS-1409 |
5.4 | Scheduling | After clicking the Refresh button at the top of the Scheduling screen in MAPS Config and then editing any schedule, the Maximum Timeout field in the schedule was displaying as "Use default" regardless of the actual value. This was a display issue only; the value in the database was not changed. | MAPS-1376 |
5.4 | Security | When changing the password on the Driver Properties screen of a data connection, the old and new passwords were being logged in the auditing tables in the MAPS and Data Warehouse databases. The auditing records now just state that the password was changed. | MAPS-1475 |
5.3.3 | Argos | After upgrading to MAPS service 5.3.1 or 5.3.2, images that were being loaded from a network drive were no longer displaying on Argos dashboards. | MAPS-1487 |
5.3.3 | Stability | If multiple users opened the eLauncher and Argos Web Viewer in their browsers and then allowed their sessions to time out, the MAPS service would sometimes hang due to an access violation caused by unauthenticated sessions failing to connect. | MAPS-1479 |
5.3.3 | Stability | Resolved several stability issues in MAPS that were uncovered as a result of changes in version 5.3. | MAPS-1482 |
5.3.3 | Stability | After upgrading to MAPS 5.3.1, the error 'Last-chance HTTP exception handler: (EDoesNotExist) Connection "" does not exist' was sometimes appearing in the MAPS log file, caused by unauthenticated sessions failing to connect. | MAPS-1477 |
5.3.2 | Authentication | In MAPS 5.3.0 and 5.3.1, certain network configurations which made it appear to MAPS that different users had the same IP address would sometimes result in users' sessions being either swapped or terminated unexpectedly. | MAPS-1476 |
5.3.2 | Log files | After upgrading to MAPS service 5.1 or higher, the message "Error while removing HTTP client (client): Unable to acquire a read lock to use the MAPS configuration database." was occasionally appearing in the MAPS log file around the time of the nightly backup. In some cases, this required a manual restart of the MAPS service to resolve. | MAPS-1295 |
5.3.1 | Data connections | In Argos 5.3.0, attempting to load a DataBlock that was using a data connection set to "use connection username and password" with the credentials left blank resulted in the error "We were unable to load your DataBlock. Please contact your Administrator if this problem persists." when accessing it in the Web Viewer, instead of prompting the user for credentials as it should have. | AR-4921 |
5.3 | Scheduling | When editing Argos schedules, you can now modify the time range during which the schedule is permitted to run. | MAPS-1365 |
5.3 | User interface | Redesigned the Email Server Properties dialog to separate the properties into different screens according to function. | MAPS-1400 |
5.3 | eLauncher | The default eLauncher logo was not showing up on the Server -> Launch Page screen in MAPS Config when the field was blank or set to the default image location. | MAPS-1399 |
5.3 | FTP | On the FTP -> Keys screen, clicking on the column headers did not change the sort order from the default of alphabetical by filename. | MAPS-1336 |
5.2.2 | AWV | After upgrading to MAPS 5.2.1, dashboard images that were saved in Argos DataBlocks were not appearing in the Web Viewer. | MAPS-1351 |
5.2.1 | eLauncher | Updated the Evisions Application Launcher to reflect the new Evisions branding. | MAPS-1249 |
5.2.1 | Made several improvements to the Email -> Queue screen, including the addition of an "Error" column displaying the reason an email failed to send. The columns are in a more logical order, and you can now sort on any column by clicking on its header. | MAPS-1340 | |
5.2.1 | Added a Notifications feature under the Server section of the MAPS Config that can be used to email designated recipients when there are failed emails from any of the MAPS applications stuck in the MAPS email queue. | MAPS-1038 | |
5.2.1 | Security | Updated the OpenSSL .dll files packaged with MAPS to version 1.0.1u. | MAPS-1323 |
5.2.1 | Accessibility | When choosing from multiple application versions to run in the Evisions Application Launcher on a system running at higher DPI settings, the Launch button was cut off at the bottom of the dialog. | MAPS-1318 |
5.2.1 | Connections | Attempting to upgrade the IntelleCheck database using a native Oracle connection resulted in missing records in the evibcmac table, requiring a reload of .icc files. | MAPS-1338 |
5.2.1 | Connections | When using the native Oracle database driver, queries that selected identical fields without using aliases would fail if the maximum number of records to read was set to something other than "no max". | MAPS-1288 |
5.2 | CAS | CAS IDs are now required to be unique for each user. When importing users into MAPS, any duplicate CAS IDs will result in an error message for those records. When copying an individual user, the CAS ID field is blanked out and you will be prompted to enter a new CAS ID (if desired) for the new user. | MAPS-1277 |
5.2 | CAS | MAPS now removes any blank spaces entered before or after a user's CAS identifier. | MAPS-1282 |
5.2 | CAS | Added support for connecting to CAS servers using TLS versions 1.1 and 1.2. Previously, only version 1.0 was supported. | MAPS-1267 |
5.2 | eLauncher | Increased the resolution of the product logos in the eLauncher. | MAPS-1214 |
5.2 | FTP | Added support for using public/private key authentication when transmitting files via SFTP. | MAPS-1298 |
5.2 | FTP | Added an option to the FTP Properties dialog that controls whether or not MAPS will verify the public key for an SFTP server when using key authentication. This resolves an issue where MAPS was not prompting to accept the key when connecting to a server for the first time or when the key changed. | MAPS-556 |
5.2 | Users | On the Users screen, the Delete button is now disabled when the system Administrator user is selected. | MAPS-1254 |
5.2 | Users | When importing or exporting users from/to a file, MAPS now supports an XML format that allows you to include specific role and group information for each user. | MAPS-1158 |
5.2 | Connections | When adding queuing rules to a data connection, if you did not specify which days the rule should be active then the rule would not save after clicking OK. To resolve this, the OK button is now disabled until you choose the day(s) that you wish the rule to be in effect. | MAPS-1230 |
5.2 | Connections | Removed repetitive warning messages that appeared when an ADO connection string contained duplicate properties. | MAPS-1231 |
5.2 | Connections | When using the native SQL Server database driver, the functions of the !> (not greater than) and !< (not less than) operators were reversed. | MAPS-1226 |
5.2 | Connections | When using the native Oracle database driver, the Service Name property was not picking up the list of configured Oracle databases from the tnsnames.ora file. | MAPS-1229 |
5.2 | Connections | When modifying an existing queuing rule for a data connection, you were able to set the Max SQL value higher than the maximum of 1024. | MAPS-1269 |
5.2 | Connections | When using the native Oracle database driver, Unicode characters were being converted to their ANSI equivalents when executing queries. This resulted in the query returning data with missing characters, such as those required for Latin, French, Arabic, Chinese, etc. | MAPS-1240 |
5.2 | Connections | When using the native SQL Server database driver, using certain reserved characters ('!', '&', ':', '?', '{', and '}') in a query would cause the SQL to be interpreted incorrectly. | MAPS-1308 |
5.2 | Connections | When entering the password for a native database connection on the Driver Properties screen, the password characters were not being obscured on the screen. | MAPS-1257 |
5.2 | eLauncher | The product logos were not being centered when bypassing the eLauncher to link directly to an individual product's launch page. | MAPS-1191 |
5.2 | Groups | Pressing Ctrl-Alt-Delete to lock the computer from the Groups screen while focus was on a group would delete the group without prompting. Pressing Ctrl-Alt-Delete no longer triggers a delete operation, and you are always prompted to confirm when deleting a group. | MAPS-1180 |
5.2 | LDAP | When adding an LDAP group to MAPS, the description field was not being populated. | MAPS-1222 |
5.2 | Security | When updating a license with a new institution key (for purposes of updating the name of the institution in MAPS after a name change), users were unable to log in to the MAPS applications unless their passwords were changed in MAPS immediately after applying the new license. | MAPS-1235 |
5.2 | Stability | Under certain conditions involving simultaneous database queries run by multiple users, MAPS would produce an access violation or a "timeout waiting for write lock" error message. | MAPS-1300 |
5.2 | Stability | Clicking the Undo button after making edits to the list of enabled SSL versions on the Server -> HTTP File Server -> Advanced Settings screen resulted in the error "An exception has occurred: SslVersionLB". | MAPS-1181 |
5.2 | Users | When importing LDAP users from a CSV file, the email address was not being imported as it should have been when LDAPAddressOverride was set to 'Yes'. | MAPS-1239 |
5.2 | Users | When importing or exporting users, MAPS would insert double quotes around filenames that contained spaces, preventing the file from being imported/exported. | MAPS-1218 |
5.2 | User interface | When changing servers on the login dialog, it was possible to select no server by clicking in the white space area. The current server will now be retained unless a different server is selected. | MAPS-1245 |
5.2 | User interface | When adding a queuing rule to a data connection, the slider for the maximum number of concurrent queries would appear offest to the right on systems with multiple monitors when the dialog appeared on a non-primary monitor. | MAPS-1227 |
5.2 | User interface | When changing the maximum number of concurrent queries for an existing data connection queuing rule, if you enter a negative number it will now be automatically set to 0. | MAPS-1228 |
5.2 | User interface | On the Auditing Configuration screen, the number of audit archive files to keep can no longer be set to negative numbers. | MAPS-1233 |
5.1 | CAS | Added support for using LDAP group authentication when logging in through CAS, based on additional attributes supplied by the CAS server that contain the LDAP group information. | MAPS-80 |
5.1 | Connections | In addition to ADO connections, MAPS now also supports using native database drivers for Oracle and SQL Server, which may improve performance and stability when using these databases. The ADO Connection screen in MAPS has been renamed to "Data Connections", and a new Driver Properties tab has been added to the Edit Connection dialog. When using a database other than Oracle or SQL Server, the database driver should be left as "ADO". You may also continue to use an ADO connection for Oracle or SQL Server if desired. | MAPS-1021 |
5.1 | Data Warehouse | Added the StartDate, StopDate, and DeleteOnStop fields to the SysUser table in the Data Warehouse. | MAPS-1084 |
5.1 | Data Warehouse | Added printer information for scheduled print tasks to the Data Warehouse via the ScheduleTaskProperty table. Print tasks now have an entry with ScheduleTaskProperty.Name set to "Printer" and the printer name in ScheduleTaskProperty.Value. | MAPS-1128 |
5.1 | eLauncher | The DataMasque product will now only appear in the eLauncher if an institution has installed DataMasque. | MAPS-1150 |
5.1 | eLauncher | The Evisions Application Launcher (EAL) is now the default launcher for new installations of MAPS. This avoids any issues with being unable to launch the MAPS Config when using browsers that no longer support Java. | MAPS-1119 |
5.1 | eLauncher | Added a note to the Launch Page screen regarding color contrast accessibility when using custom color themes. | MAPS-1151 |
5.1 | eLauncher | Updated the default theme for the eLauncher to use the new Evisions logo and brand colors. If you have configured a custom color theme or logo, these customizations will be retained. | MAPS-1053 |
5.1 | eLauncher | Updated the link to the online training in the eLauncher to point to the new training page on the Evisions website. | MAPS-1178 |
5.1 | Security | Improved the security of the session cookie used by the eLauncher and Argos Web Viewer by setting the "Secure" and "HTTPOnly" flags. These flags prevent the session information from being transmitted over an unencrypted channel or from being improperly accessed using JavaScript. | MAPS-812 |
5.1 | Security | Updated MAPS to support version 1.0.1s and higher of OpenSSL. The latest version of OpenSSL that could be used with MAPS 5.0 and earlier was version 1.0.1r. | MAPS-1117 |
5.1 | Security | Updated the OpenSSL .dll files packaged with MAPS to version 1.0.1t. | MAPS-1142 |
5.1 | Users | Expanded the user import function to include several additional fields, such as the email address for LDAP users (previously only available for MAPS users), and the CAS ID. MAPS administrators can now re-import a user whose information has changed in order to update their record. We also added an Export function that exports the selected users to a CSV file for future import or other purposes. The export function allows administrators to choose which fields should be included in the file. | MAPS-530 |
5.1 | User interface | Updated the MAPS logo on the Server screen and at the top of the MAPS Config to be consistent with the new Evisions branding. | MAPS-1168 |
5.1 | CAS | When an LDAP user in MAPS was configured such that the user could log in with an associated CAS ID, and the user received permissions based on their group membership, the user was not granted any permissions that came from their group membership when logging in via CAS. | MAPS-898 |
5.1 | Licensing | On the License -> Configuration screen, the client count was showing as "10000" when it should have been "unlimited". | MAPS-1114 |
5.1 | Log files | When sending emails that included PDF attachments from FormFusion, the MAPS email log was omitting information such as the subject, content type, date, and body. | MAPS-1102 |
5.0.3 | Security | After upgrading to MAPS service version 5.0.2.1245, some LDAP users were unable to see certain ADO connections, email servers, printers, or applications until they logged out and logged back in again. This only affected resources that the user received access to based on their membership in an LDAP group. | MAPS-1161 |
5.0.2 | Security | LDAP users were accumulating inappropriate permissions over time as other LDAP users logged in to Argos. This resulted in some users seeing folders and DataBlocks that they did not have permission to view, and also caused some queries to fail due to being run with incorrect User/Group rules. | MAPS-1152 |
5.0.1 | ADO connections | For institutions that used a connection script for their ADO connections, the script entered in the "Connection Established" script field was not being decrypted, either in the editor or before running the script. This was causing the connections to fail when users attempted to log in. | MAPS-1149 |
5.0 | Scheduling | MAPS Administrators can now designate a default "Run as" user for schedules, instead of needing to change the user for every schedule that is created. There is also an option to force all schedules to run as this user even if a different user was previously specified. | MAPS-1140 |
5.0 | Security | Updated the OpenSSL .dll files packaged with MAPS to version 1.0.1r. | MAPS-1118 |
5.0 | Server | Removed Windows Server 2003 from the list of supported operating systems. MAPS and the MAPS applications still work with Windows Server 2003; however, any institutions who are still using this version should be aware that Microsoft's extended support period ended on July 14, 2015 and we may therefore be unable to resolve issues with running MAPS on Server 2003 should they occur in the future. | MAPS-1103 |
5.0 | ADO connections | Improvements to the ADO connection dialog added in MAPS 4.5.0 inadvertently caused certain non-standard connection strings, such as the string required to connect to an LDAP server using the OLE DB Provider for Microsoft Directory Services, to no longer function. These connections will now work as intended. You are now also able to edit the connection string manually if desired. | MAPS-1075 |
5.0 | Localization | After upgrading to Argos 4.6, users in certain timezones were receiving the error "The given '12/30/1899' local time is invalid (situated within the missing period prior to DST)" when attempting to launch Argos. | MAPS-1099 |
5.0 | Security | When starting OpenSSL, MAPS was ignoring the specified OpenSSL cipher string. The cipher string is now used correctly. | MAPS-1098 |
5.0 | Security | When performing a fresh installation of MAPS version 4.5.2, the default IP range was not being automatically created on the Universal Launcher screen. | MAPS-1135 |
5.0 | Stability | The error "ConfiPipe.Stop() Access violation at address [########]" would sometimes occur when upgrading a MAPS application or would appear in the MAPS log file around the time of the nightly backup. | MAPS-904 |
5.0 | eLauncher | Updated the security certificate used by MAPS, which had expired and was requiring clients who were using the Java launcher to either replace the certificate with a new one provided by Evisions, or to switch to using the Evisions Application Launcher. | MAPS-1131 |
4.6 | ADO connections | Adding empty Property/Value pairs in the Edit ADO Connection dialog caused the ADO connection to fail. If the blank pair was the first pair in the list, saving and then reopening the dialog resulted in a "List index out of bounds" error. | MAPS-1005 |
4.6 | ADO connections | In MAPS 4.5.x, moving the Password property up or down in the list of ADO connection properties resulted in the error "(MAPSXQP-0) ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied" when attempting to connect. | MAPS-1006 |
4.6 | LDAP | In MAPS 4.5.2, when attempting to use the Argos variable $User.EmailAddress for a newly-added LDAP user, the variable would appear as blank until the MAPS Administrator made any edit to the user's properties in MAPS. | MAPS-1041 |
4.6 | Product Updater | When checking for updates in MAPS 4.5.x, administrators were able to deselect updates to product licenses. | MAPS-1026 |
4.6 | Security | When a MAPS user (not LDAP user) changed their password via the Web Viewer or eLauncher, the old and new passwords were being logged in the MAPS log file that is accessible to MAPS admins or other users with access to the server where MAPS is installed. These values are now obfuscated in the log files. | MAPS-1059 |
4.6 | Security | Updated the default url for the eLauncher logo to retrieve the image over HTTPS instead of HTTP. This resolves a warning given in some browsers regarding retrieving an insecure image when logging in via HTTPS. | MAPS-560 |
4.6 | User interface | Manually adding the "password" property to an ADO connection using a lowercase 'p' resulted in the password not being hidden within the ADO Connection dialog. | MAPS-1007 |
4.5.2 | Stability | After upgrading to MAPS service 4.5.x, in cases where certain tables in the MAPS database contained missing or invalid dates, the eLauncher would either hang without loading anything, or users would receive the error "(ELocalTimeInvalid) The given '12/30/1899' local time is invalid (situated within the missing period prior to DST)" when attempting to log in to the eLauncher or one of the MAPS applications. | MAPS-1020, MAPS-1016 |
4.5.1 | Argos | In Argos 4.5.0, OLAP cubes in the Web Viewer that use a time value as a dimension treated datetime values within three hours of midnight as though they occurred on the following day. The resolution for this issue requires an update to the MAPS service. | AR-3378 |
4.5 | ADO connections | When specifying database credentials in the connection string of an ADO connection, the password is now hidden from view in the MAPS Configuration. The user interface has been updated to include an editable list of connection string properties and values with the password obscured. | MAPS-656 |
4.5 | Applications | Removed the "Edit Application" option from the right-click menu on the Applications screen, since it was permanently grayed out and served no purpose. | MAPS-945 |
4.5 | Applications | Removed the View Files button from the Applications screen, since it provides no useful functionality beyond displaying the name of the selected executable. | MAPS-629 |
4.5 | Diagnostics | Added the operating system version to the Diagnostics screen. | MAPS-494 |
4.5 | Diagnostics | Added the version numbers of the OpenSSL .dll files to the Diagnostics screen. | MAPS-943 |
4.5 | LDAP | When a MAPS administrator disables an LDAP server, that server now has a grayed-out icon in the list of LDAP servers, and says "(disabled)" in the name. You can also see this indicator in the server name when adding LDAP users and groups to MAPS. | MAPS-852 |
4.5 | Log files | When viewing a log file, MAPS now only warns about potentially taking a long time to open the file if it is larger than 10Mb. | MAPS-348 |
4.5 | Log files | Added an option to the Query Properties screen when editing an ADO connection that causes MAPS to print the values of bind variables in the debugging log. This can assist with troubleshooting queries that are not performing as expected. | MAPS-528 |
4.5 | Scheduling | When editing schedules in MAPS, you now have the ability to edit all schedule properties (other than the names of the schedules) as a batch edit by selecting multiple schedules and clicking the Edit button. Previously, batch editing was limited to only the "Active" property. | MAPS-501 |
4.5 | Security | Updated the OpenSSL .dll files packaged with MAPS to version 1.0.1m. | MAPS-933 |
4.5 | Security | Added an "Advanced" section to the HTTP File Server screen, containing two new options for specifying the SSL versions and OpenSSL ciphers that MAPS may use. | MAPS-708 |
4.5 | Users | Added a warning message when a MAPS administrator sets a user's password to a string that does not meet the minimum password requirements. | MAPS-499 |
4.5 | User roles | When importing MAPS users from a file, you now have the option to assign one or more user roles to the group of imported users. | MAPS-342 |
4.5 | eLauncher | Added a warning message that appears in the Login dialog when typing in the Password field with Caps Lock turned on. | MAPS-450 |
4.5 | eLauncher | When a user is not authorized for any MAPS applications and the eLauncher is set to only show applications the user is authorized for, the eLauncher now displays a message explaining why the user is is not seeing any applications. | MAPS-594 |
4.5 | eLauncher | In order to better support users who prefer the Chrome browser, MAPS now offers an alternative to the Java-based Universal Launcher used to launch the MAPS applications. MAPS administrators can select which version of the launcher to use to best serve their institution's needs. | MAPS-949 |
4.5 | eLauncher | Added a dropdown to the Server -> Universal Launcher screen in MAPS to allow administrators to choose between the Java Universal Launcher and the Evisions Application Launcher. | MAPS-955 |
4.5 | Stability | The MAPS service sometimes failed to restart after the scheduled daily backup, showing "Error stopping service: System Error. Code: 2. The system cannot find the file specified" in the log. | MAPS-998 |
4.5 | Users | When importing users into MAPS from a CSV file, any spaces used in the Description field would truncate the field at the space and load bad data into subsequent fields. The workaround was to enclose the description in double quotes; this is no longer necessary since the issue has been resolved. | MAPS-985 |
4.4.1 | Diagnostics | Added a Save button to the Diagnostics screen to allow you to save the diagnostic information to a text file. | MAPS-859 |
4.4.1 | Product Updater | Exchanged the position of the Cancel and Continue buttons in the product update window to be consistent with the rest of the software. | MAPS-765 |
4.4.1 | Auditing | In MAPS 4.3.3, audit archive files are not being deleted when the number of files on the server is larger than the specified number of files to keep. | MAPS-888 |
4.4.1 | Auditing | When auditing is disabled, you can still edit the "Number of audit archive files to keep" field. | MAPS-884 |
4.4.1 | eLauncher | Users logging in to the eLauncher using Internet Explorer 9 see the error "Unable to get value of the property 'isSaveUsernameChecked'" but are still able to log in. | MAPS-883 |
4.4.1 | Product Updater | When an update is in progress, the button says Close when it should say Cancel. | MAPS-764 |
4.4.1 | Security | When logging in to the eLauncher using a CAS server, a user who has been disabled in MAPS is still able to log in. | MAPS-892 |
4.4.1 | Stability | Cancelling a product update hangs the Configuration tool if there is a lot of network latency. | MAPS-766 |
4.4.1 | User interface | Certain dialog windows, such as the application deletion challenge prompt, are wider than normal and have improper text formatting in MAPS version 4.3.0 and higher. | MAPS-757 |
4.4.1 | User interface | Clicking the "Default" button to reset the CDN URL on the HTTP File Server screen in the Configuration tool does not prompt you to save your changes. | MAPS-878 |
4.4 | Diagnostics | Added an entry to the Diagnostics page indicating whether MAPS is using the CDN or the local version of the eLauncher and Argos Web Viewer, and what the CDN URL is. | MAPS-863 |
4.4 | When renaming an email server in MAPS, any Argos schedules using that email server will now automatically update to use the new name. Added a new table to the Argos database called XRef_EmailServer to facilitate this change. | MAPS-345 | |
4.4 | FTP | Added support for PROT P encryption (private data channel encryption) when sending files via FTPS. | MAPS-842 |
4.4 | Log files | When an error occurs while executing a very large SQL statement, MAPS now truncates the SQL included in the error message in the log file to 10k characters to reduce the size of the logs and increase readability. | MAPS-826 |
4.4 | Performance | Logging in to the MAPS application clients should be slightly faster now, providing performance gains in environments with large numbers of users. | MAPS-802 |
4.4 | Product Updater | When MAPS is set to periodically check for updates, instead of checking every six hours it now checks for updates three hours after the service starts, and every six hours after that. The server can no longer check for updates during backups or shut-down, which would occasionally cause errors in the logs or prevent the service from restarting. | MAPS-837 |
4.4 | Web Server | Added a field to the HTTP File Server screen that specifies the web address for hosted content. | MAPS-857 |
4.4 | Stability | Fixed an issue with multithreading that may have caused MAPS or the MAPS applications to crash. | MAPS-846 |
4.4 | Users | Added the ability to sort the Users screen on any field. Right-click in the column header to see additional field options (Notes, Start Date, Stop Date, CAS Id, Created By, Created Date, Modified By, and Modified Date). | MAPS-827 |
4.4 | User interface | Added slide-in save/undo buttons to several screens in the Configuration tool to prevent MAPS administrators from making unintended changes. | MAPS-362 |
4.4 | eLauncher | Removed the optional widgets from the eLauncher in order to streamline the page and focus on providing software content. Also removed corresponding widget settings from the Configuration tool. | MAPS-855 |
4.4 | eLauncher | Removed the ability to link a MAPS account with an Evisions HelpDesk account via the eLauncher, since this was only used by the widgets that have been removed. | MAPS-854 |
4.4 | eLauncher | Added the eLauncher version number to the page footer. | MAPS-856 |
4.4 | eLauncher | The MAPS eLauncher is now hosted on Evisions' servers. This Content Delivery Network (CDN) allows us to deploy updates to the launch page without requiring an update to MAPS. MAPS contains local copies of the files to ensure continuous access in the event of a network outage. MAPS administrators can also specify whether MAPS should use the CDN or the local version. | MAPS-829 |
4.4 | ADO connections | Copying an ADO connection that has one or more queuing rules results in the error "XML node 'Start' is missing". | MAPS-770 |
4.4 | Authentication | When logging in as an LDAP user who is part of an LDAP group in MAPS but not added as an individual LDAP user, MAPS creates multiple resource users if the user logs in by typing their username with different capitalization than they used previously. This can cause problems with scheduled Argos reports if the user changes their password, because the changes do not propagate to the duplicate usernames, which may be used to run the reports. | MAPS-689 |
4.4 | Authentication | Removed minimum length checks for passwords when logging in to the eLauncher and Web Viewer, since there is no way to update the password from the login screen. Password requirements are enforced when changing the password, making the login check unnecessary. This resolves an issue where users whose passwords do not meet MAPS requirements are unable to either log in or to change their passwords. | MAPS-532 |
4.4 | Permissions | The account administration area of IntelleCheck displays printers that have not been authorized for use with IntelleCheck in MAPS. | MAPS-733 |
4.4 | Stability | MAPS sometimes does not restart after the nightly backup, with the error "(ETimeOut) Timeout waiting for write lock" appearing in the logs. | MAPS-147 |
4.4 | Stability | When under heavy load, MAPS may terminate abnormally due to synchronization issues when accessing the auditing database. | MAPS-847 |
4.4 | eLauncher | In MAPS 4.3 and higher, applications will not launch when using Internet Explorer version 8. | MAPS-811 |
4.3.3 | Security | Removed support for SSL 3.0 to address potential vulnerability to Padding Oracle On Downgraded Legacy Encryption (POODLE) attacks. MAPS now supports TLS versions 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2. More information about this vulnerability is available at https://www.openssl.org and on our forums. | MAPS-839 |
4.3.2 | Dashboards | In Argos 4.3, multi-column list boxes display fields of type Number(1), Number(2), Number(3), and Number(4) that contain negative values as positive numbers. | MAPS-808 |
4.3.2 | eLauncher | In MAPS 4.3.1, applications will not launch when using Internet Explorer version 8. | MAPS-805 |
4.3.1 | eLauncher | When using Java 6 version 75, an error "java.lang.RuntimeException" occurs when attempting to launch any MAPS application. | MAPS-799 |
4.3 | ADO connections | Added a menu option to rename connection pools on the ADO Connections page. | MAPS-350 |
4.3 | Auditing | Added the "Last logged in" date for each user to the User Properties dialog and to the Users page in the MAPS configuration. | MAPS-555 |
4.3 | Auditing | A new database has been created to separate auditing records from the MAPS database, resulting in increased stability and performance. | MAPS-606 |
4.3 | Auditing | Added the Last Log On date for each user to the Users page, allowing MAPS administrators to sort users by this date. | MAPS-505 |
4.3 | Auditing | The User Properties dialog now shows the created, modified, and last log on date for that user. | MAPS-457 |
4.3 | Authentication | Added an optional SSO mode that allows MAPS to accept requests coming through an authentication server that is behind the same firewall as the server where MAPS is installed. | MAPS-690 |
4.3 | Data Dictionary | On the Data Dictionary -> Users tab of the Configuration tool, you can specify group permissions for each data dictionary in addition to adding users individually. | MAPS-443 |
4.3 | Diagnostics | On the Diagnostics tab of the Configuration tool, added notes indicating which system printers have been added to MAPS. | MAPS-352 |
4.3 | Documentation | Product release notes are available in a new online format that includes both the release notes and the relevant release documentation. The release documentation is fully searchable, and includes a version matrix of all Evisions products. | MAPS-626 |
4.3 | eLauncher | Removed DataMasque from the eLauncher for institutions that are not licensed for DataMasque. | MAPS-684 |
4.3 | When configuring an email server, you can now specify an SMTP port other than the default of port 25. | MAPS-462 | |
4.3 | Executables | MAPS administrators can now specify the directory where client applications are downloaded to on end user's machines. This may be useful in cases where you need to add a scan exception for antivirus software that requires an exact path. | MAPS-631 |
4.3 | HTTP server | MAPS administrators can now specify the idle timeout for the eLauncher and Argos Web Viewer. The default timeout is 15 minutes. | MAPS-139 |
4.3 | Help | The in-product Help has been updated to use static links, allowing you to share URLs or link to specific Help pages. | MAPS-465 |
4.3 | LDAP | Administrators can now disable individual LDAP servers in MAPS to prevent users from authenticating to MAPS via that server. This can be useful when testing, configuring a new LDAP server, or making changes to a copy of an existing LDAP server. | MAPS-706 |
4.3 | LDAP | Added an option to the LDAP server configuration that allows MAPS to search the LDAP server to locate a user if their DN lookup fails. Automatically detecting changes to user DNs means that the MAPS administrator does not need to manually update the user's DN in MAPS due to changes on the LDAP server. | MAPS-470 |
4.3 | LDAP | Added support for nested Active Directory groups. If an LDAP user is a member of group A, and group A is a member of group B, then adding group B to MAPS will include the nested user. | MAPS-62 |
4.3 | LDAP | When adding LDAP users or groups, the Configuration tool will remember any changes to the search filter for the duration of the session. | MAPS-354 |
4.3 | Log files | Added the institution name to the log file upon server start up, as well as to the information on the Diagnostics screen. | MAPS-335 |
4.3 | Product Updater | When downloading a new MAPS application or a new version of an existing application, the product updater now shows a download status bar. | MAPS-452 |
4.3 | Scheduling | Added a "Last Run Date" column to the Scheduling screen in the MAPS Configuration. | MAPS-542 |
4.3 | Security | Added a version number check before overwriting the SSL .dll files, which allows you to replace the files immediately (without waiting for a MAPS update) if OpenSSL releases a new version. | MAPS-783 |
4.3 | Server | Added Windows 2012 to the list of supported operating systems in the Hardware/Software Requirements document. | MAPS-806 |
4.3 | Stability | Made stability improvements relating to management of jobs and handling process termination. | MAPS-574 |
4.3 | User interface | Made the Edit Servers link more visible on the login screen. | MAPS-741 |
4.3 | User interface | Clarified the MAPS application login dialog by changing the "remember username"/"remember password" check boxes to a drop down menu that allows you to remember only your username, neither username nor password, or both your username and password (if the server permits password saving). | MAPS-288 |
4.3 | User roles | On the User Roles screen, enabled scrolling for the list of operations belonging to each non-editable system role if there are more operations than will fit on the screen. | MAPS-458 |
4.3 | ADO connections | Deleting a queuing rule for an ADO connection does not enable the "OK" button to save the changes. | MAPS-372 |
4.3 | ADO connections | Ampersand (&) characters in an ADO connection name are replaced with an underscore (_) unless escaped with another ampersand. | MAPS-329 |
4.3 | ADO connections | When copying an ADO connection, the option to "Allow Scripts (non-DML)" does not carry over if it is enabled. | MAPS-771 |
4.3 | API | In the Configuration tool, deleting the name of an API referrer creates a referrer with no name that cannot always be deleted or renamed. | MAPS-373 |
4.3 | Antivirus | Trend Micro antivirus software sometimes flags the Java product launcher as a threat. | MAPS-639 |
4.3 | Authentication | When using CAS to authenticate to the eLauncher, clicking "Log out" results in a CAS authentication error. | MAPS-516 |
4.3 | CAS | When using CAS to authenticate to MAPS, the eLauncher and the Argos Web Viewer time out after 1-2 minutes instead of the default 15-minute timeout. | MAPS-625 |
4.3 | FTP | Exception thrown when adding or editing an FTP server with a trailing white space in the name. | MAPS-477 |
4.3 | Licensing | Exception thrown when applying a new license file in the Configuration tool if there is a password in the MAPS database that uses a non-standard character. | MAPS-461 |
4.3 | Printing | When running the Configuration tool from a machine other than the MAP server, test printing shows the name of the local machine as the "server name" on the printout. | MAPS-473 |
4.3 | Stability | Resolved an issue where jobs occasionally error out when MAPS looks for available updates (MAPS looks for updates four times daily if the "Server will periodically check for updates" option is enabled in MAPS). | MAPS-724 |
4.3 | User interface | When checking for updates while the Mapplets page is open, the mapplet version displayed does not update until you refresh the page. | MAPS-331 |
4.3 | eLauncher | Errors relating to the "Last-chance HTTP exception handler" sometimes appear in the MAPS log file but do not signify any actual issue that would affect users. | MAPS-600 |
4.3 | eLauncher | The Windows application clients will not launch in Chrome or Firefox on a device running a touchscreen-enabled version of Windows 8. | MAPS-521 |
4.3 | eLauncher | Downloading a new version of the Argos client on a machine running antivirus software throws an error "The directory name is invalid." Renaming the installation directory manually or adding an exception to the antivirus software resolves the error. | MAPS-270 |
4.3 | eLauncher | When MAPS is configured to show only installed applications, users see all applications the very first time they log in regardless of this setting. Refreshing the page causes the applications to display correctly. | MAPS-514 |
4.3 | Printers | Friendly names for printers in MAPS are no longer case-sensitive. This resolves an issue in IntelleCheck where a deleted printer would still show up if it had been added twice with two different-case friendly names. | MAPS-732 |
4.2.6 | Security | After upgrading to MAPS service version 4.2.6.834 to resolve the "Heartbleed" bug in OpenSSL, a few MAPS installations throw the error "Could not load SSL Library" when attempting to log in using HTTPS. | MAPS-739 |
4.2.6 | Security | Updated the version of OpenSSL used by MAPS in response to the "Heartbleed" bug found in OpenSSL. More information about this vulnerability is available at https://www.openssl.org and on our forums. | MAPS-737 |
4.2.5 | eLauncher | After clicking on the launch button for a product, the cursor now changes to a circular icon to indicate that the application is loading. | MAPS-537 |
4.2.5 | HTTPS | Clarified "HTTPS File Server" Help page in regard to the need for either a root or an intermediate certificate that chains to a root certificate. | MAPS-562 |
4.2.5 | Stability | The FormFusion mapplet sometimes does not stop correctly with the nightly restart. When the service restarts, the mapplets are not restarted, and the HTTPS launch page (if enabled) will not load. | MAPS-491 |
4.2.5 | Security | After upgrading from MAPS 4.2.2 and Argos 4.2.1 to MAPS/Argos 4.2.3, schedules running as a user authenticating via LDAP group authentication fail with error: "User [username] is not authorized to use this application" if the Everyone group is not authorized for use with Argos. | MAPS-646 |
4.2.5 | eLauncher | The HTTPS version of the eLauncher will not load if evisions.com is unavailable. | MAPS-643 |
4.2.5 | eLauncher | The eLauncher is unable to detect Java in Internet Explorer 11, preventing the client applications from being launched. | MAPS-620 |
4.2.5 | eLauncher | When using Java 6 version 65, an error "java.lang.RuntimeException" occurs when attempting to launch any MAPS application. | MAPS-610 |
4.2.3 | Security | Increased security relating to Argos reports stored on the MAP server by checking to make sure that a user attempting to access the report via its URL is the same user who created it. | MAPS-541 |
4.2.3 | LDAP | MAPS now includes the ability to customize the Group Members and User Groups attribute names for LDAP servers. Previously, the Group Members was always "members" and the User Groups was always "memberOf". | MAPS-468 |
4.2.3 | Log files | Clarified the error message that appears in the MAPS log when a group authorization record's validation field is incorrect. | MAPS-238 |
4.2.3 | eLauncher | After upgrading to MAPS 4.2.1, the launch page will not load if Argos is not installed. | MAPS-539 |
4.2.3 | Transformations | 4.2 versions of MAPS do not send logging information to DataMasque correctly, resulting in no log being produced when running a transformation. | MAPS-552 |
4.2.3 | Security | In situations where an LDAP user has been added to MAPS both individually and as part of an LDAP group, the group permissions are not taken into consideration when logging in through the HTTPS eLauncher. | MAPS-573 |
4.2.3 | Installation | During installation of a new MAPS application, a browser window showing the eLauncher pops up in front of the Configuration tool. | MAPS-540 |
4.2.3 | eLauncher | The "Only display installed products" option for the eLauncher only works with the HTTPS launch page, not HTTP. | MAPS-506 |
4.2.3 | LDAP | After upgrading to MAPS 4.2.1, LDAP users who have an invalid distinguished name (due to changes on the LDAP server) are unable to authenticate until the DNA is refreshed. | MAPS-478 |
4.2.3 | FTP | SFTP authentication fails if the first method that MAPS tries to use fails. | MAPS-580 |
4.2.3 | User interface | When a MAPS application is closed while the center of the window is off the edge of the screen, the next time you log in the login dialog has focus but is not visible. | MAPS-544 |
4.2.3 | eLauncher | When widgets are intentionally disabled, the eLauncher shows the message "Could not load widgets". | MAPS-492 |
4.2.2 | eLauncher | After upgrading to MAPS 4.2.1, the eLauncher does not load in Internet Explorer 8. | MAPS-488 |
4.2.1 | Security | To maintain secure communications between users and the MAP server, use of Argos Web Viewer now requires that MAPS be configured for HTTPS. Users will be redirected back to the launch page if they attempt to access Web Viewer through the non-secure HTTP protocol. | LAUNCHWEB-74 |
4.2.1 | Authentication | Added ability to link and unlink an evisions.com website account with a MAPS username when using the HTTPS launch page. Linked accounts will automatically log in to all evisions.com widgets when logging in to the eLauncher. | N/A |
4.2.1 | Web Viewer | The Argos Web Viewer now opens in a new browser tab instead of the eLauncher tab. | MAPS-430 |
4.2.1 | Web Viewer | Added a registry entry that controls whether or not Web Viewer is enabled for Argos. Disabling Web Viewer via the registry hides the button on the launch page, as well as removes the "Web View" button and "Web Viewer Settings" option from the Argos client. | LAUNCHWEB-94 |
4.2.1 | FTP | Added support for FTPS (FTP over SSL) for scheduled Argos reports in addition to the existing support for FTP and SFTP. | MAPS-107 |
4.2.1 | Security | Security enhancements relating to invalid web API function calls - instead of returning the original input in the error message, MAPS now returns an "Invalid function name" error. | MAPS-432 |
4.2.1 | eLauncher | Added a drop-down on the Server -> Launch Page tab of the Configuration tool allowing MAPS administrators to show all applications, only installed applications, or applications the user is authorized for when logging in with HTTPS. | MAPS-424 |
4.2.1 | Printing | Added a Test Print feature to the Printer -> Edit Printer dialog in the Configuration tool to help verify that a printer has been added to MAPS successfully. | CONFIGTOOL-88 |
4.2.1 | User interface | Split the Launch Page screen in the Configuration tool into two pages: Appearance and Widgets. | CONFIGTOOL-153 |
4.2.1 | User interface | On the Applications page of the Configuration tool, refreshing the view now remembers and automatically selects the application that was selected prior to the refresh. | CONFIGTOOL-168 |
4.2.1 | eLauncher | Disabled product launch buttons when using a non-Windows device that does not support the client application. | LAUNCHWEB-69, LAUNCHWEB-62 |
4.2.1 | eLauncher | Widgets are now remembered on a per-user basis when using HTTPS to log in. | LAUNCHWEB-95 |
