Version 2.1.1​

What's new​

  • Improved Kubernetes deployment

    The Kubernetes (K8s) deployment process has been revamped for quicker and easier deployments.

    The ADS image is now pulled directly from the Axiomatics ECR container, and it includes the standard Attribute Connectors (SQL, Table, LDAP, HTTP, and Parser) by default. Alternatively, you can build your own image and push it to any registry you prefer.

  • New license model

    ADS 2.1.1 introduces a new licensing model that requires a new license file named axiomatics_ADS.license.

  • Migration to Spring Boot

    ADS 2.1.1 replaces the Dropwizard framework with Spring Boot, introducing a modern architecture, improved configuration management, richer integration options, and enhanced observability features.

  • Domain configuration in YAML

    Domain configuration is now fully based on YAML. XML-based domain files are no longer supported.

  • Authentication enhancements

    Authentication configuration has been revamped, and ADS now supports JWT, OAuth 2, and Basic authentication options.

  • Metrics and monitoring updates

    ADS 2.1.1 now supports Prometheus (pull model) and InfluxDB (push model) for metrics collection while ASM is no longer used as a metrics backend.

  • Updated logging

    Logging has been redesigned in ADS 2.1.1 to use Spring Boot YAML configurations. The setup now supports custom Logback configurations, removing Dropwizard-specific logging options.

  • New audit logging format

    Audit logs are now generated in JSON format, which offers reduced log size, enhanced readability, and improved overall performance for ADS. XML logs are still supported as an alternative.

  • Attribute Connector versions

    When ADS 2.1.1 is deployed with K8s, it includes the following versions of the standard attribute connectors:

    • LDAP Attribute Connector 6.3.2
    • SQL Attribute Connector 6.3.1
    • Table Attribute Connector 7.1.1
    • HTTP Attribute Connector 5.4.2
    • Parser Attribute Connectors 1.0.3
