New Features & Enhancements

🔐 Consistent Login Behavior After MFA Deactivation

Resolved an issue where users were unable to log in normally after MFA was manually disabled. The system now ensures that when both the user’s MFAEnabled flag and the global policy “Allow user to authenticate if user is not MFA Enabled” are unchecked, authentication proceeds without prompting for an OTP. This change provides a predictable, secure, and consistent login experience.

📧 Improved Enrollment Workflow – Email Autofill Restored

During MFA enrollment, once a mobile number is registered, the system now automatically retrieves and displays the user’s previously saved email address during the email enrollment step. This enhancement streamlines the enrollment process, reduces manual input, and minimizes the risk of user errors.

🛡️ Reliable MFA Configuration for Database Users

Reliable MFA Configuration for the [sa] Database UserCorrected a problem where enabling MFA for the sa database user was not retained after saving. The MFAEnabled checkbox now accurately reflects the saved status.

🔒 Identity Server URL Validation After Deployment

MFA security has been enhanced by validating the IdentityServerURL when deploying a repository to a new environment. If the target repository’s configuration is incorrect, MFA login attempts are blocked, preventing unauthorized access caused by misconfiguration and ensuring safer deployments.

WebConsole

🗄️ Repository Creation – File Repository Option Hidden

The “File Repository” option has been removed from the repository creation screen. This change keeps the configuration focused on supported repository types and helps reduce setup errors, resulting in a more reliable repository creation experience.

🌐 Initial IIS Load Error Fix

Resolved an issue where the WebConsole could throw an error on first access via IIS. With this fix, browsing the WebConsole through IIS now works reliably on the first attempt, eliminating the need for restarts and improving overall stability.

👤➖ Remove User Action

A new “Remove User” button has been added to the WebConsole User Details view. This enhancement allows administrators to remove users directly from the interface, streamlining user management and improving overall administrative efficiency.

Identity Server Fixes

🗄️ VGIdentityServer – SQL Server Connection Stability

Fixed a connection issue between VGIdentityServer and SQL Server. The system now handles database connections reliably at runtime, ensuring successful authentication and consistent configuration synchronization.
