New features and enhancements

Authenticator is moved along with user

(OAS-4880, OAS‑1541, support cases CS0032978, CS0033132, CS0041046, CS0046178)

If a user has been moved to another organizational unit in the LDAP data store, LDAP Synchronization Tool will now move the user and all assigned authenticators to the new organizational unit in the OneSpan Authentication Server data store. This feature replaces the behavior in previous product versions, where moved users were deleted and re-created in OneSpan Authentication Server, and any assigned authenticators were unassigned.

Please note the following to make the most of this new feature:

  • Because one additional SOAP command is executed per user, the first synchronization with LDAP Synchronization Tool 3.22 may take longer by approximately 25 per cent.

  • Before the first synchronization, it is recommended that you select the following profile options in the LDAP Synchronization Tool Configuration Utility:

    • Create users

    • Delete users

    • Update users – All

    • Enable created users

    • Include LDAP children

    • Mirror organizational unit structure

    • (OPTIONAL) Create missing organizational units

    • Return Digipass to OAS synchronization root on delete

The SyncTest and SyncNow command-line utilities will test/synchronize only enabled profiles if no <profile_list> parameter is provided.

Support for fully qualified domain names (FQDN)

LDAP Synchronization Tool now supports fully qualified domain names (FQDN) to specify the server location of LDAP servers and OneSpan Authentication Server instances. This allows you to specify the same FQDN that is set in TLS/SSL certificates used for server verification.

Fixes and other updates

Issue OAS‑10065 (Support case CS0064700): Special characters not escaped in JSON output
