Blog - Release Note - posts for April 2020

FORMCYCLE 6.4.0

Download 6.4.0

The AKDB Bürgerkonto-Service-Plugin requires an update due to incompatibilities. Please install plugin version 2.8 or higher when updating to FORMCYCLE version 6.4.0.

XFC-METADATA.currentUser should no longer be used and will be removed in a future version. To access user information XFC-METADATA.user should be used.

Please note new and potential necessary configurations when operating the application server behind a load balancer, reverse proxy or similar. (see here).

Features

External users
The new external users enable new methods of form authentication. Thus, login options can now be configured via SAML 2.0, OpenID Connect, Google or Facebook. Existing authentication configurations of forms will be kept (e.g. authentication via NTLM, Kerberos, FORMCYCLE or form password). The new user variables [%$USER%], [%$LAST_USER%] and [%$INITIAL_USER%] as well as the XFC-METADATA object XFC_METADATA.user can be used to access information of the logged in users.
Highlighting outdated JavaScript symbols and migration via the interface
Outdated JavaScript symbols are crossed out in the JavaScript area of the designer. The editor also provides an easy way to migrate these symbols (for example, XFC-METADATA.currentUser).
