Highlight Features

SAML Support

ConfigSeeder already supports authentication via OAuth2, OpenID Connect or pre-authentication via headers. Newly also authentication via SAML is supported. Details can be found in the documentation.

User and group management

As of this release, it is no longer necessary to manage the authorization groups in your own IDP, but the authorizations can be managed directly in the ConfigSeeder Administration. However, it is still possible to keep the roles from the IDP and even add them to ConfigSeeder as desired, e.g. to allow additional temporary access to configurations.

It is also now possible to record users in advance. Thus, no premature login of the user is necessary anymore. Authorizations can be entered and managed in advance. This is especially useful for onboarding of new users.

Performance Improvements

The speed of managing more than 500 configuration values was very poor and users waited more than 30 seconds. We have optimized the site significantly and the actions should only take a few seconds even with more than 1000 configuration values.

Helm Charts

Newly we publish not only Docker Images but also Helm Charts for the deployment with Kubernetes. These Helm Charts offer different options, including PSP.
