Release 1.1
January 13, 2024
What's New?
Support for MAC Address of ICS OCA Assets
With this release, we have added support for displaying MAC addresses parsed from industrial OCA files in the user interface. You can view these details on the listing page of the Assets tab.
This enhancement improves users' visibility of network device information. Displaying the MAC addresses on the UI requires backend support from the Network Passive Sensor (NPS).
Displaying the MAC address of ICS OCA assets requires NPS 1.8.0.0.
API Features and Enhancements
With this release, we have extended support for OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect Authentication Standards. This new update is very beneficial to users, as it eliminates the need for users to provide a username and password, as well as the system-generated JWT tokens. This streamlines access by allowing users to use their own tokens, thereby bypassing the hassle associated with usernames, passwords, and system-generated tokens. As a result, users can access the API gateway more efficiently and with greater ease.
