New Features and Improvements
Extensible Authentication
In this release of RED we have added a new feature enabling Extensible Authentication for Connections in RED. This feature combines connection resilience, authentication scripts and extended RED Profile attributes to create a framework for connecting to systems which require complicated client side authentication workflows not provided directly by their respective ODBC drivers and/or tools.
This feature enables working with authentication workflows such as oAuth 2.0 but also allows a way to pop-out to additional authentication UI's such as for entry of Time-based One-Time Passwords for multi-factor authentication.
This feature is enabled through the following new functionalities of RED for ODBC/Database and Extensible Source Connections:
New session-level Connection fields
Two new groups under Advanced Connect Parameters have been added to Connections, all of these session-level fields are in-memory only and can be persisted to your RED Profile between sessions.
Auth Configuration
- Auth Configuration JSON - Arbitrary JSON storage of any required authentication attributes for this connection.
- Auth Script Command - When specified this command will be triggered during RED's authentication process to this connectione.
- Auth Expires After - Duration in mins after which RED will reconnect at the next opportunity.
Auth Tokens
- Token (1,2,3) - Three new encrypted fields which can be used in connections strings using the token format $AUTHTKN_[1|2|3]$ for expansion at runtime. Display names can be adjusted via the RED Profile to suit a particular authentication type.
Scripted Authentication
