This change makes it possible to use the API when only SAML or LDAP have been configured. For existing installations using the integrations API, ensure the user accessing the API has the “graze_login” permission too (this permission prevents that user from being able to log in to the UI, so we advise using a dedicated API user).

INT-5693

INT-5686

Resolved an issue with proxy support for HTTPS targets in polling integrations.

INT-5680

The Workflow Engine automated ticketing workflow now has an entry filter that prevents closed Situations from entering. This change is not applied on upgrade, apply manually if required.

INT-5676

Sample payload data is now shared between Data Mapping and Alert Noise Reduction sections in the Integrations tab in the UI.

INT-5631

The "webhost" field has been removed from "system.conf" as it is no longer used. It has been replaced by the integration Broker configuration.

For non-quiet single box installations, there is now only one prompt for the webhost. The value entered in this prompt is used for the Nginx configuration, the "webhost" field in "servlets.conf", and the "moomsConsole" field in "web.conf".

Provided improved error messages for Office 365 authentication.

INT-5520

Corrects a JDBC LAM query issue related to an Oracle database.

INT-5322

The HP OMi integration now supports a recovery interval in the UI, and contains the retry recovery property.

INT-5319

The AWS CloudWatch integration now supports a recovery interval in the UI.

INT-5086

REST-based LAM configuration files have been updated with clearer authentication type comments.

Using the argument --version on integration scripts now correctly displays the integration version.

INT-4270

The HA block in LAM configuration files has been standardised.
