This version addresses Licence and Session handling to:
•Authenticate users
•Match users with their data
•Select a general access level
•Maintain sessions across multiple applications and multiple devices
This is made possible by generating, validating and providing applications with a "Security Token", which describes a user, their access level and duration for use of an application. The licence level (access level) and the duration of a licence lease is a part of the "Security Token" description. The framework we employ for creating and maintaining "Security Tokens" is OAuth.
Other changes are:
•Client Sessions exited from the Web Browser without first logging out:
•Will now terminate after one hour
•Can no longer result in a "Duplicate" session
•The ‘Last Use’ date in the ‘Current Users’ Form has been removed because of incorrect data from IIS. This will be reinstated in a Web App in the future
•Sessions from the Mobile App are visible in the ‘Current Users’ Form but cannot be logged out
Some of the steps in this guide may have been performed for previous upgrades. They are included for completeness.
