censhare 2021.2.1


This patch release is only to be used as a preliminary release on development or test environments to make yourself familiar with the new censhare WP architecture and features that rely on this architecture. For production environments, another patch release will be published that addresses the known limitations of the 2021.2.1 patch release!

CI HUB integration

Potential security risk

The current configuration of the connection between censhare Server and CI HUB server gives potential root access to censhare Server with API requests that use the client ID secret from CI HUB server.
Suggested workaround for this release: Set up a dedicated cihub client in Keycloak.

5764215,
C5-40258

Assignments are removed

In some cases, assignments between folders (groups) and layouts are removed.


Google AI integration not fully compatible with CI HUB integration

In some cases, the Google AI integration causes files to be removed from shared folders in the CI HUB panel.

5768862,
C5-40334

PPT preview missing

Updating a Powerpoint presentation via CI HUB does not generate a preview on the asset page.

5761706,
C5-40274

Folders throw error message

Folders that are added via CI HUB in Adobe Applications throw an error message.
Workaround: Refreshing the folder in the CI HUB panel resolves the issue.
Note: This issue and workaround were tested in Adobe InDesign. Our experience suggests that other Adobe applications are also affected.

5766958,
C5-40323

File size limit can trigger errors

Currently, nginx configurations with a maximum file size of 10GB have been tested and are recommended for use of the CI HUB integration. Larger files (for example videos) will not be uploaded to censhare. Higher maximum file size settings have not been tested and verified.


Session handling of censhare Web

Inactive sessions are not immediately visible to users

When the session expires, the web browser terminates the web socket, but the frontend that was loaded in the censhare Web browser window seems to work normally from the user's perspective. Users can still edit metadata and master files (for example in the content editor). When a user tries to save their changes, the terminated session throws an error and changes are lost.

5681256,
C5-40271

Change UI language in censhare Web

UI not properly localized

When users change the language of censhare Web in their preferences, the user interface displays only partially the selected language.
Workaround: After selecting/changing the language in the user preferences, log out and log in again.

C5-40223

Custom branding

Custom brandings are ignored

Existing custom brandings do not display. Instead, the default branding is shown.

5712712,
C5-39940

Custom branding not yet supported

Custom brandings (single or multiple) are not yet supported with the censhare WP platform.

Favicon is broken

The custom favicon does not display in the browser.

5776879,
C5-40453

Keycloak user mapping

New users are assigned to admin role

When a new user is created via Keycloak, censhare creates this user in the censhare DB with default role and domain. If not otherwise configured, the default role is admin and default domain root.

C5-39984

Updated user settings from Keycloak are not updated in censhare

When the user settings are changed in Keycloak (for example: change user name), these changes are not written into the user setting in the censhare DB.

General frontend issues


The webpack distribution of censhare has minor frontend issues and glitches that may affect the functionality of censhare Web widgets and editors.



censhare 2021.2.2

This patch addresses quality issues and findings that we encountered in the previous versions of censhare WP. We strongly recommend to thoroughly test this release with a focus on the below-mentioned limitations on your test and development environments before moving your production platform to this release version. We are working on resolving these limitations and will continue to provide further patch releases for production environments using 2021.2.

Override of standard code in censhare Web

Standard code in censhare webpack cannot be overwritten

Custom typescript components are not overwritten on existing code in the resulting bundle and the frontend code cannot be customized.

C5-40640

Authorization mapper

Resource replace variant doesn't work. Customizations are lost on server restart.

When the authorization mapper is customized with a resource replace variant, the customization is lost on server restart. Customizing needs to be done in the default authorization mapper.

C5-40661

Manual keycloak attribute not fully supported

Keycloak attributes that are added additionally cannot be used with the authorization mapper. The only supported keycloak attribute is "locale". Manual configuration in the censhare Admin Client is required to fully set up specific user attributes at this point.

C5-40663

CI HUB integration

The censhare CI HUB integration is not yet ready for production. We will be addressing defects and impediments in one of the following releases.

Potential security risk

The current configuration of the connection between censhare Server and CI HUB server gives potential root access to censhare Server with API requests that use the client ID secret from CI HUB server.
Suggested workaround for this release: Set up a dedicated cihub client in Keycloak.

censhare 2021.2.3


(1) This patch addresses quality issues and findings that we encountered in the previous versions of censhare WP. We strongly recommend to thoroughly test this release with a focus on the below-mentioned limitations on your test and development environments before moving your production platform to this release version. We are working on resolving these limitations and will continue to provide further patch releases for production environments using 2021.2.

(2) In the course of finalizing this release we were able to close issues regarding session handling and custom multi-branding. These are enabled in the latest version of the Cloud Gateway, which is part of the 2021.2.3 release bundle. With these changes, session handling is ready for production. See also our documentation for more details.


Problems with customized frontend code for censhare Web

Deployment of overwritten standard frontend code and adding of own customizing not possible in some cases via WP

During the deployment of webpack and the release of the package, some components are not overwritten/added as expected. For these cases, changes in censhare Web will not be applied.

C5-40640

Custom branding

Multi-Theming of Keycloak not yet supported

Although we support handling multiple different brandings in censhare Web, the entry point for a user session (Keycloak login page) does not yet support any logic to display different themes depending on the URL parameter you use to approach the system. The censhare-themed standard login page or one customized version of it can be displayed.

User migration from censhare Admin to Keycloak Identity Provider

Migration of existing users

If you upgrade an existing censhare environment, you need to migrate all of your users into the Keycloak Identity Provider. This is a mandatory step for all censhare clients. Additional steps might be necessary if you have an identity provider integration or interface.

Migrate users to Keycloak

Authentication Mapper (XSLT / Keycloak)

All user authorization definitions are kept in the censhare Admin client. To set up a new user workflow, it is important to be able to define the default user configuration. The censhare Authorization Mapper helps implementors to ensure that users get the correct role and domain definitions.

Flatplan known issue

When working with flatplans for print & publication planning, you may encounter the following problem. When you add a multipage PDF in the flatplan editor, the size of the pages will be shown bigger as they are and as exceeding the size of the issue pages.

Both censhare Web flatplans and censhare Client flatplans are affected. In censhare Client, you will also see the error Parts are outside of the printable area in the Warnings tab. Possible consequences are:

  • Issue asset export. If you use the Standard export option to export the issue asset, the sizes of all page should be correct and as specified on the issue asset. Other export options may not work as expected.
  • Workflows that rely on the page sizes may inherit the wrong calculation. This is currently being investigated.

We are actively working on solving this issue.
