    • Changed the 'agreementTemplateId' property for 'ExternalRole' to optional in the 'CDIServer - Create external role' and 'CDIServer - Update external role' APIs.

    • Improvements to the REST API documentation to facilitate application implementation.

    • Substantial improvements to the console user interface.

    • The statistics service has been removed awaiting feature improvements.

    • Transaction content cannot be accessed via the Lequinox console. Event meta data is presented, but the actual content is to be handled by a Lequinox-enabled application via the platform API.

    • Bug fixes and performance optimisations.

Compatibility

Lequinox platform versions

  • 5.1.0

* Important information for customers currently on 5.1.0

In 5.2.0, the recommended archive storage/profile quota limit on installation is increased from 200 MB to 10 GB. If you have not set a value of your own, 10 GB will be the applied valid value, which might affect the need for available storage. If you have set a value of your own, that value stays valid. If so, make sure it still suits your environment.

Changes

Title

Description

User name and passphrase functionality added

You now sign in to the Lequinox console via user name and passphrase. With this comes a much smoother on-boarding and user experience, and the ability to reset your passphrase.

Dependency on Lequinox professional ID removed

With a focus on platform-managed role accounts, with accounts managed by the organisation platform, the dependency on Lequinox professional ID to sign in to the console and participate in transactions has been removed, and with that, the need for references.

Organisation suffix added

A unique organisation suffix has been added and is included in each role account user name in the platform.

Platform license numbers

Each platform customer is provided with a license number, which can be added in the Lequinox console for easy access in interactions with Support centre.

System application items separated from added items

In the Lequinox console, system items like the Console service and the Archive service have been separated from Added services (Lequinox-enabled applications). This applies to Applications and the related items Server accounts and User groups.

Names of first administrator roles updated

The names of the first system role created for platform and organisation administrators have been updated. Previous ‘Lequinox admin’ is now ‘Platform administrator’ and ‘Organisation admin’ is now ‘Organisation administrator’.

Console administration levels updated

The console administration levels have been updated for a clear distinction between system role names and console administration levels. Previous ‘Lequinox admin’ is now ‘Platform manager’, ‘Organisation admin’ is ‘Organisation administrator’, and ‘Regular user’ is ‘Organisation user’. The level ‘Role admin’ has been removed.

User agreements relocated in the Lequinox console

In the Lequinox console, user agreements are now found under the Applications dropdown menu, available for user group creation, and applied for the accesses in each user group.

Statistics removed in the Lequinox console

Awaiting improvements and new features, the statistics service has been removed from the Lequinox console.

General user interface improvements

The user interface has a more unified layout, and detailed information rarely used is placed in expandable sections for a cleaner experience. Content in toasters and popups have been improved for a more uniform experience.

Access management enhanced in the platform API

When creating an access via the platform API, the state can be set to ‘invited’ in addition to ‘active’. The ‘invited’ state leaves it up to the application to activate the access before it can be used. The application can also retrieve and present a user agreement for the user to accept before their access is activated.

Improvements to the REST API documentation

Various additions and amendments to the REST API documentation, including possible responses, to facilitate application implementation.

Bug fixes 

Title

Description

Deleting system applications

In the previous version, you could delete a system application. This is no longer possible.

Warning when leaving New organisation page

When leaving the page for creating a new organisation, the user received no warning that changes would be lost. This issue has been fixed, and page behaviour is in line with other pages in the Lequinox console.

Update button for accesses always active

The Update button was active even if no changes had been made. This has been fixed and the button is now dimmed and inactive until any changes have been made.

Role name not visible in the external role accounts list

The Role column was empty in the External role accounts list. This issue has been fixed and assigned roles are presented in the list.

Incorrect value for timelock services returned

The timestamp was never returned in the CDI REST API response for Open transaction and Get transaction status. This has now been fixed.

Known issues and limitations

Description

Type

Planned for

You are not able to view transaction content via the Lequinox console. You can view transaction event meta data but for now, the actual content is to be handled by a Lequinox-enabled application via the Lequinox platform REST API.
