New features

The following feature has been introduced in this release of Enterprise Server:

  • InDesign Server Automation: new configuration option. Controlling if pages that were created or changed by a planning tool should be processed by the InDesign Server Automation can now be controlled by the IDSA_PLANNED_PAGES_PROCESSING option. It accepts the following values:
  • true. An InDesign Server Job is created for the InDesign Server Automation to process pages that are created or changed by the Planning tool.
  • false. No InDesign Server Job is created; pages that are created or changed by the Planning tool are not processed by the InDesign Server Automation.

Example: define ( 'IDSA_PLANNED_PAGES_PROCESSING', false );

This option takes over this control from the existing option 'PageSyncDefaultsToNo', see the Changes section.

For more information, see Setting up InDesign Server Automation in Enterprise Server 10.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this version of Enterprise Server:

  • Planned pages: use of the PageSyncDefaultsToNo option. In previous versions, the PageSyncDefaultsToNo option performed two tasks:
  1. It made sure that planned pages were not synchronized when an InDesign Server Job was picked up by InDesign Server.
  2. It made sure that an InDesign Server Job was created for the InDesign Server Automation to process pages that are created or changed by the Planning tool.

Task 1 is still taken care of by the PageSyncDefaultsToNo option but task 2 is now controlled by the IDSA_PLANNED_PAGES_PROCESSING option. See the New features section.

  • Planned pages synchronization.The option 'PageSyncDefaultsToNo' is no longer compulsory. When it is not set in the configserver.php file or the config_overrule.php file, no error will be shown anymore on the Health Check page.
  • ExifTool configuration options added. When images are uploaded, Enterprise Server extracts metadata. This metadata is used for populating basic metadata fields (such as author, credit, format, and so on), as well as specific fields such as width and orientation (used for cropping images).

The ExifTool is part of the Enterprise Server installation and can now optionally be configured by defining the order in which image properties are resolved. This is based on the metadata containers (such as 'Exif', 'XMP', an 'IPTC') that are extracted by the ExifTool application.

Different metadata containers can contain different values for the same image attribute.

Example: 'Credit' => [ 'IPTC', 'XMP' ] means that first the 'IPTC' metadata container is used to resolve the 'Credit' attribute. If this gives a result, the 'XMP' container is ignored. Only in case of no result is the 'XMP' container used.

To do this, configure the following option:

if( !defined( 'EXIFTOOL_METADATA_ORDER' ) ) {
	define( 'EXIFTOOL_METADATA_ORDER', serialize(
			[
				'Author' => [ 'EXIF', 'IPTC', 'XMP' ],
				'Credit' => [ 'IPTC', 'XMP' ],
				'ColorSpace' => [ 'EXIF', 'XMP' ],
				'Comment' => [ 'XMP', 'IPTC' ],
				'DocumentID' => [ 'IPTC', 'XMP' ],
				'Description' => [ 'EXIF', 'IPTC', 'XMP' ],
				'DescriptionAuthor' => [ 'IPTC', 'XMP' ],
				'Copyright' => [ 'EXIF', 'IPTC', 'XMP' ],
				'Keywords' => [ 'IPTC', 'XMP' ],
				'Slugline' => [ 'IPTC', 'XMP' ],
				'Source' => [ 'IPTC', 'XMP' ],
				'Format' => [ 'File', 'XMP' ],
			]
		)
	);
}

Uncomment the attribute and change the order of the containers as needed.

Notes:

  • Not all containers are applicable for every attribute.
  • The ordering is only supported for the attributes that are listed.

New features

The following feature has been introduced in this release of Enterprise Server:

  • Support for Single Sign-on (SSO) using Okta. Single sign-on is a process in which users log in once to an authentication provider that manages their user credentials.

Once logged in to that authentication provider, each subsequent log-in to an application that is connected to that provider is automatically handled by that system. This drastically reduces the number of times that users have to manually log in on a daily basis.

Implementing single sign-on in Enterprise Server can be beneficial for users who access Enterprise Server through various applications: the Enterprise Server Maintenance pages, Content Station Aurora, and Smart Connection.

Single Sign-on can now be implemented by making use of authentication provider Okta and is supported for the following versions:

  • Enterprise Server 10.7.0
  • Smart Connection 12.3.0 for Adobe CC 2017
  • Smart Connection 13.1.0 for Adobe CC 2018 (not yet released)
  • Smart Connection 14.1.0 for Adobe CC 2019 (not yet released)
  • Content Station 11.43 or higher and its accompanying Desktop application

To support SSO, the following Web Services have been added:

  • GetWebAppAuthenticationInfo
  • GetNativeAppAuthenticationInfo

The following property has been added to the LogOnRequest:

  • Params

For more information, see:

Changes

The following changes have been made in this version of Enterprise Server:

  • Improved usability of Maintenance pages: To make working with the Maintenance pages more user friendly, additional tools have been added to various pages. With these tools, the following actions can now be performed:
  • Column sorting
  • Selecting or de-selecting all rows
  • Deleting selected rows
  • Filtering based on user input
  • Controlling the maximum number of rows to show on a page
  • Pagination

The Overview of users page

The improvements (where applicable) can be found on the following pages:

  • Brand maintenance
  • Access Profiles
  • Overview of User Groups
  • Overview of Users
  • User Group Maintenance
  • User Maintenance
  • InDesign Server Jobs
  • InDesign Servers
  • Named Queries
  • Support for Overruled Issues has been dropped. Support for the Overruled Brand feature (used in print publications, also known as the 'Overruled Issues feature') has been dropped in Enterprise Server 10.7.0.

Should you make use of this feature in your current Enterprise Server environment, perform the following upgrade steps:

Step 1. Safeguard the content by either migrating or archiving it.

Step 2. In your original Enterprise Server installation, make sure that 'Overrule Brand' is not selected on the Issue Maintenance pages for any of the Brands.

Step 3. Upgrade your database using the newly installed Enterprise Server.

  • Logon flow changes. Changes to the logon flow have been made which can impact any integration that uses the LogOnService.

  • Licensing. The following changes have been made:
  • Enterprise Server will not automatically fall back on a Content Station Basic license anymore when a user logs in with Content Station Pro while no Basic licenses are available, or when the user does not have sufficient access rights.
  • All Enterprise Server communication with the WoodWing Activation Server (WAS) will now happen over HTTPS. This has the following consequences:
  • The WoodWing Activation Server URL has been changed. This could have impact on any firewall settings.
  • When using an Enterprise Server without SSL enabled, the licensing process in the Enterprise Server Maintenance pages will now show warnings regarding unsafe HTTP communication.
  • Adobe DPS. Support for creating content that is to be published with Adobe DPS has been dropped.
  • Changes to managing users and user groups when using an identity provider. Using an identity provider such as LDAP or Okta has the following effect on managing users on the User Maintenance page in Enterprise Server:
  • The following fields are disabled :
  • New Password
  • User Cannot Change Password
  • Password Expiration in Days
  • Valid From
  • Valid Till
  • When user groups are managed by the identity provider, the options to manage user groups are hidden.
