Delegate365 changelog version 2.9New Sync

As described here we are pleased to announce the new synchronization function in D365 version 2.9. We completely rebuilt the sync process and added rules for automatic user assignment to specific OU´s. Why Sync? Since D365 needs to deal with (ten)thousands of users in an AAD D365 uses an cache layer to deliver a good user experience and performance. So changes which are made outside of D365 - like in the Office 365 portal, via PowerShell or another App – may not be visible immediately in D365. ...

Delegate365 changelog version 2.8Setup Wizard

Delegate365 changelog version 2.8Setup Wizard

In Delegate365 version 2.8 there´s a new setup wizard included (as announced here). With this function companies no longer need to create a (temporary) administrator user for doing the setup process of Delegate365 but instead can setup their Azure Active Directory on their own for working with Delegate365. Prerequisites To configure your real company AAD with Delegate365 you get two access information by atwork: The Setup-URL (which usually goes like https://[yourcompany].azurewebsites.net/setup) and a configuration password (which is in fact a code) to give you the access for the setup process. This code is important and valid for this specific Delegate365 appliance. With that code you can setup the service accounts till the code is changed. More about that later. ...

Delegate365 changelog version 2.7

In Delegate365 version 2.7 there were some minor fixes rolled out. Style Sheets and client messages were updated. The user import with an CSV file had a problem with updating the new imported users in the users list. Since D365 uses a cache layer for user objects to improve performance since version 2.3 the new users didn´t show up immediately after the file import but after the automatic sync task (which runs in the background in a predefined time frame). With this fix the new importet users now show up immediately in the users list. ...

Delegate365 changelog version 2.6

Delegate365 changelog version 2.6. We internally changed the encryption of stored credentials and extended it to protect all custom values. D365 uses an own Service Account for accessing and transferring user data to Azure Active Directory. For Exchange functionality like Alias email addresses or distribution lists as well as reporting data D365 needs additional credentials. These essential data must be stored in a secure way. To ensure safety in D365 we changed the encryption and extended it to all properties stored in the D365 database with version 2.6. Now all custom config values (even fields like company name, address, phone number, etc.) are encrypted with an Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm. ...

Delegate365 changelog version 2.5

Delegate365 changelog version 2.5

Delegate365 changelog version 2.5. There´s a new feature concerning distribution lists built in. We got the request that it would be useful to integrate existing distribution lists into other distribution lists (DL) in D365, so that all members of a DL automatically receive emails if their DL is member of one or more other DL(´s). So now in D365 v2.5 it is possible to put existing DL´s as member into another DL. This feature is handy and reduces potential synchronization steps and eases the organizational tasks for the admins. ...
