Changes

This release includes hardening around authorization as well as these improvements in single sign-on with SAML:

• Gateway now supports SAML on the tenant level, allowing for organization-specific SAML authentication in multi-tenant implementations. (CLOUD-3239)

• Gateway has better token handling on SAML logouts. (CLOUD-3245) 

Fixed

Invalid methods on an SCSP request returned 400 Bad Request instead of the expected 405 Method Not Allowed responses. (CLOUD-3228)

Watch Items and Issues

These are known operational limitations that exist for Gateway.

• When using the default RHEL/CentOS configuration of IPTABLES, traffic to the Gateway is blocked unless action is taken to disable IPTABLES or to enable inbound traffic to the front-end protocol port(s).

• Gateway is not compatible with Linux PAM modules that depend upon interactive validation operations such as OTP or biometric scanners.

These are known issues in this release:

• The cloudgateway_audit.log shows a false HTTP 500 response for SCSP (format=json) listing requests. This can be ignored; the client receives an HTTP 200 OK with the correct list results. (CLOUD-3201)

See for known issues from prior releases that are still applicable, apart from those appearing above as Fixed.
