PIM 5.6.2 – Release Notes

June 2nd 2021

PhenixID Identity Manager 5.6.2 improves the stability, compatibility and security of your solution, and is recommended for all installations.

1. Selected role added to audit log

When a user login to PIM, the user selects a role or if only one role is available the role will be selected for the user by PIM. In previous version we did not log this event to the audit file.
With PIM 5.6.2 we now logs this type of event also.

2. Audit added for PIPFilter

In previous version of PIM we did not audit events when a filter was used when saving data. For example, when PIPFilter is used to send data to PIP, PIM did not create events in audit file.
With PIM 5.6.2 we now support adding events to audit file using a filter. This is implemented by default for the PIPFilter with PIM 5.6.2.

3. Support added to search and list data from SQL

PIM has only supported to read and write data to and from LDAP. There have been customer solution where we have added read and write to SQL but we never added this as core component to the product.
With PIM 5.6.2 you can now search and list data from a SQL database.
Note: PIM still an LDAP account to map the user data received from SQL. Any user data from SQL that cant be mapped will be removed.
