Official release (June 18, 2018)

Important known issues

  • We have recently identified a regression bug (#2073) in this release that could affect the directory synchronization service with the Active Directory and LDAP connectors when the directory uses a login configured with AES (FIPS compliant) or Version 5 (Legacy) password management mode with an Encryption key.

    This known issue has been fixed in the latest release 7.14.1.

  • WorkflowGen OpenID Connect authentication configuration issue.

General

  • Feature (#1572, #1713): Supports new Azure AD (v1 endpoint), Auth0, and ADFS authentication methods with the OpenID Connect standard. See the WorkflowGen Technical Guide for information on how to configure each authentication method.

  • Bug (#1657): The WorkflowGen HTTP authentication for applicative and OpenID methods now always writes log files in the WorkflowGen app_data\logfiles folder.

Administration

  • Feature (#1420): Added a new Azure AD SCIM v2 type directory connector to support Azure Active Directory synchronization with the SCIM web API.

Workflow Applications

  • Feature (#1608): Added a new Non interactive client application type to allow non interactive clients (e.g. daemon) to access the GraphQL web API based on the chosen OpenID Connect authentication mode.

Configuration panel

  • Feature (#1572, #1713): Added new Azure v1, Auth0, and ADFS authentication modes. See the WorkflowGen Technical Guide for information on how to configure each authentication method.

Auth v1.0.0-beta.1

  • Feature (#1702): New web API module to handle OpenID Connect authentication with Azure, Auth0, or ADFS.

SCIM v1.0.0-beta.1

  • Feature (#1285): New web API module to handle Azure Active Directory synchronization based on the SCIM v2 specification.

Database

  • Enhancement (#1620): Added support for Azure SQL database.

Notes

  • All of the above Node.js modules (GraphQL v1.0.0-beta.5, Webhooks v3.2.0, Auth v1.0.0-beta.1, and SCIM v1.0.0-beta.1) now require Node.js version 8.11.3.

  • Running the npm install --production command is required on each of the modules (\wfgen\graphql, \wfgen\hooks, \wfgen\auth, and \wfgen\scim) after the upgrade.

Reminders

  • Microsoft Windows Server 2008 is no longer supported as of WorkflowGen version 7.11.0. We recommend migrating to Windows Server 2012 or later.

  • Microsoft SQL Server 2008 is no longer supported as of WorkflowGen version 7.10.0. While SQL Server 2008 is still compatible with WorkflowGen, support for any performance issues or bugs resulting from using SQL Server 2008 will no longer be provided.

    For clients currently hosting WorkflowGen on a database server older than MS SQL Server 2012, we highly recommend upgrading to MS SQL Server 2017 or 2019 for the best performance.

Hi,

It mentions that Node.js version 8.11.3. is required. What happen if there are multiple instances of WFGEN installed and some of them are running the older version which require Node.js v6?

Hi Kevin,

You can only run a single active version of Node on the WorflowGen production server. If there are multiple instances of WFG on the same server then these instances must support the same active version of Node.js

On the other hand, if this is a development environment (test or develop on different version of WFG) then it can use nvm-windows (https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows) to handle the Node versions on the same machine. But it is the same scenario; one active version at a time.

Regards,
Eddy.
