YSoft SafeQ 6 - Release Notes Build 39

Infrastructure and other changes

The “DIGEST-MD5 SASL” protocol has been implemented in the YSoft SafeQ Management Interface as an option for the LDAP user accounts integration. The DIGEST-MD5 SASL mechanism performs an authentication to the Active Directory Server in a manner that does not expose the clear-text password. This new authentication option is in compliance with the Microsoft security advisory (ADV190023) that will result in a Microsoft security patch for Active Directory domain controllers planned for January 2020. See the article 2020 LDAP channel binding and LDAP signing requirement for Windows. (SQC-932)

Fixes and Improvements

Printing

Resiliency of the YSoft SafeQ Client has been improved. When Site Services is not accessible from the workstation when the client is starting, it continues checking the address. For example, when the user starts VPN later and Site Services become accessible, YSoft SafeQ client switches to online mode automatically. (SBT-774, SBT-775)

Print jobs from YSoft SafeQ Enterprise Client 2.x no longer fails when compression is enabled. (SBT-820)

Terminals, User Interfaces

When the “Multi half-fold” option is selected in Advanced print settings of a print job on an embedded terminal, the pages are now folded one after another. (SBT-40)

Embedded Terminal 2nd Gen. for Konica Minolta / Develop / Olivetti now supports devices with the “LK-114 Serverless pull printing” solution installed. (SBT-537, SBT-626)

The Logout button once again correctly ends the user session in the Embedded Terminal for OKI sXP2. (SBT-764)

When a favorite job was canceled, for example by an administrator in the Management Interface, it was still listed in the user's favorite jobs on the YSoft SafeQ terminal, but it couldn't be printed. It has been fixed and the canceled favorite job can now be printed by the user. (SBT-694)

The "Settings" menu on HP devices is no longer accessible to users authenticated with Embedded Terminal for HP. (SBT-785)

User PIN length is no longer restricted to 9 digits max when PINs are replicated from an external directory. (SBT-797)


Installation of Embedded Terminal for HP and Brother has been automated. Administrators are no longer need to make additional manual changes. During the Site Services installation, a self-signed certificate containing the server IP address is generated. The corresponding certificate authority is then uploaded to the device during Embedded Terminal installation. When updating from YSoft SafeQ 6 Build 38 or lower without having configured the custom certificates, administrators should follow the "Configuring secured connection between terminals and Terminal Server" chapter in the YSoft SafeQ 6 Administrative Guide. (SQC-778)

Reporting

Web reports are now accessible in the Management Interface even when a Cost Center name is more than 64 characters. (SBT-794)

Automated Scan Workflows

The Workflow processing system is now able to handle rare cases when two scanned files are generated with the same filename but with different casing on two MFDs. This could had led to exceptions when storing the file for "keep both files" behavior. It has been fixed. (SBT-728)

Administrators can now export an automated workflow even when the Dropbox Business/Enterprise connector is used. (SBT-777)

Installation and Administration

When a cost center is deleted in the Management Interface, users who belonged to this cost center are now assigned to the default cost center. (SBT-603)The product version number is once again included in the <SafeQ6_folder>\SPOC\logs\spoc_version.log file. (SBT-637)

Administrators should no longer experience a file name length error when unpacking the YSoft SafeQ 6 installation complete pack. (SBT-772)

The new "How to Remove a Spooler Controller" chapter has been created in the YSoft SafeQ Administrative Guide. It helps administrators when a Site Services server should be removed and devices assigned to another Site Services in the production environment. (SBT-611)

A security certificate distributed with previous Build 38 for Embedded Terminal communication hasn't been working with some older Samsung devices. A new functional certificate is now distributed with the Build 39. (SBT-781)

The "Test connection“ button in the "Configure the connection to your external database server“ window of the YSoft SafeQ installer now checks the connectivity to the server including the username and password even when the domain authentication is used. (SBT-782)

YSoft SafeQ Terminal Server no longer crashes when an unexpected error appears in the KM OpenAPI 4.2 scan request. (SBT-803)


YSoft Payment System

The User account in the YSoft Payment System can now be created even when the fields for the user's name and surname in the Management Interface are empty. The username field is used as a displayed name then. (SBT-747)
