• Helm charts and containers

What's New

• Authentication Service now supports Red Hat OpenJDK 11. (AUTH-833)

• Authentication Service supports authenticated connections to the PostgreSQL and Redis databases it uses. (AUTH-465)

For private edition

• Genesys Authentication now supports the use of arbitrary, or random, user IDs (UIDs) in OpenShift.

  • The Dockerfile has been modified to specify container and file ownership as user=500 (genesys) and group=0 (root).
  • The securityContext settings exposed in the default values_gauth.yaml file specify the user and group IDs for the genesys user (500:500:500). You must override these Helm chart values if you want OpenShift to use arbitrary UIDs. For more information, see Configure Genesys Authentication.
  • Genesys Authentication is deployed using ServiceAccounts that use the restricted Security Context Constraint (SCC). In an earlier implementation, Genesys required you to deploy all private edition services using a ServiceAccount associated with the custom genesys-restricted SCC, to control permissions for the genesys user (500). Genesys now expects OpenShift to use arbitrary UIDs in your deployment, and the genesys-restricted SCC has been deprecated. If you previously deployed Genesys Authentication using the genesys-restricted SCC, Genesys recommends that you redeploy Genesys Authentication so that you use arbitrary UIDs. (AUTH-1011)

  More info: IdP-initiated login

• The login page for Genesys Multicloud CX applications now always displays the Tenant field. Users must enter a tenant if their username is not an email address or is an email address that is not associated with a single Genesys Multicloud CX tenant.  (AUTH-440)
