 What's New?

New features, Latest developments & Updates!

 Facebook Login

What's this Feature All About?

This plugin allows users to log in or signup through Facebook in their web apps.

Benefits:

• The users have the convenience of just signing up using their Facebook accounts which means no need to fill sign up forms and going through that process.

• The users also wont have to create or remember their passwords as with a single click they can login using their Facebook accounts.

 Role Based Dashboards

What's this Feature All About?

Dashboards are automatically generated based on the roles defined during the initial project creation, eliminating the need for repeated manual setup. This streamlined process ensures that once roles are assigned, corresponding dashboards are created without further intervention. Additionally, during the login event, users are automatically redirected to their specific dashboards according to their assigned roles. 

Benefits:

• You don't need to create the dashboard repeatedly. It is automatically generated based on the role defined during project creation.

• It is automatically configured in the login event to redirect the user to the specific dashboard according to their role.

 Edit Collection Filters

What's this Feature All About?

Earlier once filter was created in collection can not be modified, but now the user can modify filter according to there needs.

Benefits:

• You don’t have to create new filter if you’ve accidentally marked it as private instead of public.

• You can update the setting like- changing its name, sort order, enabling/disabling private access of the existing collection filters instead of creating a new one.

 Security - Password Brute Force Check

What's this Feature All About?

Password guessing via brute force attack is a common method used by attackers to gain unauthorised access to user accounts or systems by systematically attempting various combinations of passwords until the correct one is found.

Benefits:

• By limiting the number of login attempts and requiring an additional verification step, the platform can protect user accounts from unauthorised access, ensuring that only legitimate users can make purchases and access personal information.
• Preventing brute force attacks helps protect sensitive corporate data, including intellectual property, financial records, and employee information, from being accessed by malicious actors.

 Security - Expiration Of User Access Token

What's this Feature All About?

In the case of Session Replay Attack, a malicious user steals a valid session/token ID of a user and reuses,it to impersonate an authorised user to perform fraudulent transactions/activities. Users could become victims of Session Replay Attacks when session IDs do not have a set session expiration time or the session data is stored in non encrypted form. Web applications that allow reusing old session IDs or session credentials for authorisation are also vulnerable to Session Replay Attacks.

Benefits:

• Many regulatory frameworks (such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS) require organizations to implement strong authentication and access controls. Preventing brute force attacks helps meet these compliance requirements, avoiding legal penalties and fines.
• Organisations that successfully prevent security breaches through effective measures gain a positive reputation in the market, attracting more customers and partners.
