2.16.2 - Cookie-Based Authentication

November 26, 2024

New Features

  • The REST API Connection options now support cookie-based authentication. This method uses HTTP cookies to store a session identifier, which the server uses to authenticate subsequent requests. To configure cookie-based authentication, you need to provide the following:
    • Login URI: The endpoint used to initiate the authentication process.
    • Authentication location: How the service expects credentials (headers, body, or query parameters).
    • Credential keys: The names of the parameters used for the username and password.
    • Cookie keys: The names of the cookies used for authentication, including the session cookie.
    • Session duration: The lifetime of the session token, including the duration and unit of time.
       

Patch 2.16.2.1

Bug Fixes

  • Log calls that exceeded the character limit would result in the application crashing. We refactored the code for truncating values greater than 100 characters in length, which will now render the first 100 characters followed by "...".
  • Due to the logic used by Data Pull, it was unable to find order line data residing in lower levels of a nested data structure. Updating the mapping logic within Data Pull corrected this issue, allowing Data Pull to correctly identify and extract order line data regardless of its nesting level.
