PowerConnect ChangeLog

v3 - Support for Linux

Linux Support: You can now install and run the PowerConnect Application Server on Linux environments.
Performance Optimization: Significant improvements to the connector deliver a smoother user experience, especially when expanding or collapsing objects in the server tree.

PowerConnect automatically creates a settings.yml as a copy of the settings.sample.yml if doesn't exist.
The admin platform shows if SSL has been enabled for PowerConnect and the expiration date of the SSL certificates.
The PowerConnect User Guide is packed with the installer so it's accessible before the installation.
The PowerConnect version is displayed on the Admin Platform.
PowerConnect can now be registered as a single-tenant application on MS Azure AD/Entra. A new parameter tenant_id must be set to the tenant id on the settings.yml.
Library dependencies for the Admin Platform to render successfully are now bundled on the installation.

PowerConnect now supports TM1 V12. Users will be always admin since still there is no support for impersonation on TM1 V12.
The name of the connector inside Power BI Desktop have been changed to PowerConnect for TM1/IBM Planning Analytics. This way, it's easier to find it by looking for "TM1", "IBM" or simply "PowerConnect".
Default values have been added to "verify", "async" or "namespace" so setting up instances in the settings.yml is easier.
OAuth and NonOAuth versions have been unified. By default, only OAuth requests will be allowed. To allow anonymous requests (the equivalent to connecting using NonOAuth in previous versions) change the parameter ensure_secure_connections to false We only recommend doing this for testing purposes.
New page in the Admin Platform to test MDX statements. This feature won't retrieve any data, but will check if an MDX is valid in PowerConnect.

OAuth Only: new parameter non_admin_sec_access which allows non-admin users to access security information (false by default).
Adds the ability of changing the password for the admin platform - new parameter reset to set the password back to the default.
In the admin platform, if using SSO, instances show a message informing that the instance is using SSO.
New parameter security_users_subset to specify a subset of users from the }Clients dimension when retrieving security data. Only users in that subset will appear in the security tables.
