Release Notes - PoolParty 2022 Release 1 Beta

We have completely redesigned the PoolParty Authentication Service to allow for better integration into an existing enterprise architecture with Single sign-on (SSO), or with the protocol LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol).

PoolParty Authentication is now service based on Keycloak. It is a widely supported and proven framework for identity and access management, that has been integrated into the PoolParty components. This new architecture increases security, makes the integration of PoolParty into a customer authentication infrastructure easier, and supports social login.

Integration with a third-party identity provider (IDP) using the SAML 2.0 standard or the LDAP protocol is more intuitive and less error prone.

The user, who are managed by a third-party IDP, is auto provisioned when logging into PoolParty. The auto provisioning includes authorization and group assignment.

We have extended the OAuth 2.0 protocol implementation to cover more of our APIs to improve security.

The SAML 2.0 standard is available for a larger part of the platform including PoolParty GraphSearch.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is available out of the box.

Please note that PoolParty UnifiedViews is currently not integrated with the new authentication service.

We have integrated with the high performance knowledge graph and semantic reasoning engine RDFox for better support for semantic search and recommendation.

You can easily connect PoolParty to an RDFox via the Semantic Middle Ware Configurator (SMC).

You can export taxonomies and ontologies to RDFox.

You can store extraction results in RDFox.

You can Integrate RDFox into your UnifiedViews data processing pipelines.
