  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8.7 and 9.1

  • Open Enterprise Server (OES) 2023 SP1

1.1.2 Support for New OS Version for Containers

1.1.3 New Features and Enhancements in Identity Applications

Identity Applications component includes the following new features and enhancements:

New Driver Parameter Added in the Roles and Resource Service Driver

You can now configure the Roles and Resource Service Driver to evaluate the dynamic and nested groups daily at midnight. When the Dynamic group evaluation in local server time mid-night parameter is set to true, the evaluation will begin at midnight, according to the time zone set on the Identity Applications server.

The RRSD driver will evaluate at midnight, regardless of the Frequency of reevaluation of dynamic and nested groups (in minutes) value. However, when the new parameter is set to false (the default configuration), the RRSD driver will perform a time interval-based evaluation determined by the Frequency of reevaluation of dynamic and nested groups (in minutes) value.

The Assigned To Column on the Tasks Page Can Display User Name Based on the Full Name Entity

You can now change the format of the displayed user name in the Assigned To column. When you set the com.netiq.idm.isAddresseSupportNameFormatting property to true in the ism-configuration.properties file, the Assigned To column on the Tasks page (both Self and Others) displays the full name of the user based on the locale name pattern configured in Designer.

For more information on setting the property, see Configuring the Format of Displayed User Names.
