LDAP Integration Enhancements

The following enhancements have been made available for the LDAP integration feature:

B-05949: Refactor LDAP refresh to process each user/group record as a separate transaction.
B-08859: Add ability to filter users based on group membership for directory servers that do not support the group membership attribute for users.

Mandatory Credentials Option for Agent based Tasks

B-08918: Add Agent Credentials Required Universal Controller system property to allow making agent-based task credentials mandatory.

A new system property, Agent Credentials Required, has been introduced to allow customers to enforce the use of credentials for Agent based Tasks. For backwards compatibility, the default value of this new property is "false"; you will only be allowed to change the value to "true" if all credential fields affected by this property contain valid credentials or a default credential for the agent referenced by the task exists.

Additional Credentials Fields Added for Universal Task Templates

B-08958: Add two additional Universal Template/Task credential field mappings.

The number of credentials fields available for a Universal Task Template (and, therefore, a Universal Task) has been increased from 2 to 4.

Increase the maximum credential password length

B-09028 : Modify the controller to increase the maximum password size that can be sent to the agent to 512 characters.

The maximum password length supported by Credentials and credential functions for Universal Agents has been increased to 512 characters.
