Release Summary v13.6.2

ADFS support for Single Sign On

• If you are using Microsoft ADFS, you can now integrate that with Device42 single sign on using SAML 2.0.

Bulk/background delete for devices

• You can now choose to delete devices in the background. If you are deleting a large # of devices – it might take forever depending on relations a device has and sometimes even time out. With this feature – you can just confirm the devices you want to delete and a background job gets added that goes on does the job while you attend to more important matters than taking out some measly servers.

Simplified device add UI

• When adding a new device, you are now just presented with name and type, and once you add those fields – you will see all the relevant fields for that device type. No need to press save after adding name and type.

Subtype for hardware model type other

• Hardware model also gets a reference to device subtype now. This way when you auto-discover device type others, you can pre-classify the subtype from hardware model or change device subtypes in bulk, by changing the underlying hardware model.

Use serial # as name for UCS discovered devices

• You can now choose to use serial # for UCS discovered devices. Since UCS names can be same across different chassis, this will be a better option to use. And you can use hostname precedence in other discovery jobs to show the correct hostname for those devices.

Sync departments with endusers sync in AD/LDAP sync job

• You can now choose what departments end uses belong to when you add them via AD/LDAP sync job.

Link local IPs

• We are now ignoring all IPv6 and IPv4 link local IPs that are auto-discovered or added via the APIs. All fe8:: and 169.254.x.x addresses will now be ignored.

Option not to discover SFP as parts in SNMP discovery

• You can now choose not to bring in SFP as parts in network auto-discovery.

S3 backups with hostname

• If you running S3 backups in regions where V4 is supported, or you need to add specific region end point hostnames – you can now do that.

New AWS instance discovery option

• Since instances discovered via Amazon AWS API and discovered via ssh or wmi had nothing in common – we end up creating duplicate devices if the name didn’t match. Now we have added an option in linux tool and agent to enable aws check from ssh – where it can find the instance ID and not create a duplicate devices via different discoveries.

DOQL changes

• Add view_purchaselineitems_to_devices_v1 as doql view
  Add certificates as doql view
  Add deviceos as doql view

API changes

• POST call with no body to /api/1.0/vlans/smart_merge_all

• Telco circuit path was broken in some cases. Fixed.
• SNMP jobs was not updating subnet category ID for discovered subnets. Fixed.
• Agent for Mac was not getting updated properly. Fixed.
• Adding source and destination ports for NAT IP was broken for high range ports. Fixed.
