New Infoserver functions

 

•Translating a UNIX timestamp for Infos has been improved.

The logging behavior of this functionality can be customized. Here you can decide whether the entire stack trace should be logged, whether only errors should be logged or whether nothing should be logged.

For this you can edit the configuration file "best_default.ini" (default installation path: "C:\Program Files\Cordaware\best_srv\etc\best_default.ini") on directory level.

Add the following setting to the [best] section:

o[best] year_log_level = full/error/nothing (default: error).

•The connection of the infoclients to the Infoserver can now be secured using client certificates.

•Improved handling of languages for mobile clients

•Added a new action to the REST API that allows you to query your info history.

 

Fixed bugs in the Infoserver

 

•The Infoserver host address is now transmitted correctly for sound files.

•The client behavior "Show info" on the logon desktop did not work correctly in certain constellations, this has been fixed.

•The handshake timeout has now been set to 30 seconds.

 

New Infoclient functions

 

•A new setting for configuring the browser to use has been added. For this setting, use the value "true" to use the browser that is defined in your registry. If you set it to "false", then the browser you have defined in the Windows settings will be used:

oOpenLinkUseReg=true/false (default: true).

•A new setting to disable Guardian functionality on the client has been added. Disable Guardian functionality with the value "true":

oNoGuardian=true/false (default: false).

 

 

•Performance of the handshake when connecting to the Infoserver has been improved.

•New settings for configuring the certificate store from which to use the client certificate have been added.

oClientCertificateStorageAccessTypes=CurrentUser/CurrentService/CurrentUserGroupPolicy/LocalMachine/LocalMachineEnterprise/LocalMachineGroupPolicy/Services/Users (comma separated list of all values possible, default: CurrentUser,LocalMachine).

oClientCertificateSystemStores=MY/CA/ROOT/SYSTEM (comma separated list of all values possible, default: MY)

•A new setting for using client certificates to connect to the Infoserver has been added. This setting can be used to specify which client certificate the infoclient should search for in the user's certificate store. The Common Name (CN) of the client certificate is compared with the value set in this entry.

By default, the current user name and the Infoserver host name are used in combination, separated by a dot as the value. For example, if the user "max.mustermann" connects to the server "bestinformed.company.intern" a certificate whose CN is "max.mustermann.bestinformed.company.intern" would be searched and used to connect.

For example, "max.mustermann" can be entered as the common name:

oClientCertificate=username/hostname/computername/domainname/commonname (default: username.hostname,hostname)

 

 

•A new setting for using the PSK mechanism to connect to the Infoserver has been added. This setting can be used to disable the PSK mechanism:

oUsePSK=true/false (default: true).

•A new setting for resetting the server list when starting the infoclient has been added. This causes that when the infoclient is restarted and the server list is used, it starts at the first address and not at the one entered under "Address".

oResetServerListOnStart=true/false (default: false)

 

Fixed bugs in the Infoclient

 

•Errors in displaying the info ticker as a taskbar were fixed.

•Due to high CPU usage data was still being sent to closed connections, this has now been fixed.
