IDM 7.3.3 is the latest release targeted for IDM 7.3 deployments and can be downloaded from the [Backstage Download Center](https://backstage.forgerock.com/downloads/browse/idm/latest). | | | | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | You can deploy the release as an initial deployment or as an update from an existing 7.3.x deployment. Learn more about updating from 7.3.x in [Update to a maintenance release](../upgrade-guide/update-maintenance-release.html). | ## IDM 7.3.3 This release includes updates to OpenICF connectors, updates to dependency libraries, bug fixes, and the following feature: ### Improved task scanner exception handling If the task scanner encounters a task that results in an exception, it now aborts only that task and continues processing the remaining tasks. Previously, the scanner would abort the entire process when any task caused an exception. ## IDM 7.3.2 ### International email addresses IDM now supports [international email addresses](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_email). This feature is available only for supporting SMTP providers. For more information, refer to [International email addresses](../external-services-guide/email.html#international-email-address). ### Secure RCS access You can create stricter RCS authorization and access rules. To enable authorization for RCS, add an appropriate role to the static-user mapping used for the RCS subject and write the appropriate access rules to permit this role to be granted access to the `openicf` servlet on the path (pattern) corresponding to the RCS name used in the RCS configuration. Learn more in [Secure RCS access](../auth-guide/authorization-and-roles.html#secure-openicf-access). ### Array comparison You can choose how synchronization detects managed object array changes using *unordered* or *ordered* comparison using the configuration property `comparison` in the schema. Unordered JSON array comparison ignores the order of elements and can negate the need for certain custom scripts within mappings. Learn more about [managed object schema properties](../objects-guide/appendix-managed-objects.html#managed-object-property-config-properties) and [array comparison](../synchronization-guide/chap-implicit-live-sync.html#array-comparison). ### `_api` parameter requires authorization Requests passing the `_api` parameter now require authorization. Learn more in [Common REST](../crest/about-crest.html#api-authorize-example). ### Jetty 12 support The embedded Jetty web server supports Jetty 12. ### Java 17 support This IDM release requires Java 17. Learn more in [Embedded Jetty configuration](../install-guide/appendix-jetty.html). ## IDM 7.3.1 ### Workflow engine upgrade The Flowable embedded workflow engine has been upgraded to [version 6.8.0](https://github.com/flowable/flowable-engine/releases/tag/flowable-6.8.0). If you're upgrading from a previous version of IDM and use workflow, this upgrade requires one or more incremental upgrade scripts. For more information, refer to [Upgrade an existing repository](../upgrade-guide/update-repo.html#upgrade-existing-repository). ### End User UI supports array properties Array properties now display in the End User UI. ## IDM 7.3.0 ### Support for Bouncy Castle FIPS IDM now supports the use of Bouncy Castle FIPS as a security provider. Bouncy Castle FIPS is useful when dealing with government data, where meeting the FIPS 140-2 security requirement is necessary for regulatory compliance. For information on how to configure Bouncy Castle, refer to [FIPS 140-2 compliance](../security-guide/security-bouncy-castle-fips.html). ### Support for UTF-8 email addresses IDM now supports UTF-8 (non-ASCII/international) characters in email addresses, such as **zoë@example.com**. When sending emails to these type of addresses, the configured SMTP server must also support UTF-8. ### Disable delegated administrator sort and filter while searching You can now disable delegated administrator sort and filter while searching resource collections in the End User UI. For more information, refer to [Disable sort and filter for resource collections](../auth-guide/delegated-admin.html#disable_sort_and_filter_for_resource_collections). ### Workflows now support JavaScript IDM workflows now support JavaScript in addition to Groovy. For more information about scripting workflows, refer to [BPMN 2.0 and workflow tools](../workflow-guide/about-workflow-tools.html). ### Patch operation improvements It is now possible to patch the root of an object. The only supported patch operations on the root of an object are `remove` and `replace`. ### Improvements to the /system endpoint `/system` endpoints now support specifying additional fields when also using `*`. This allows callers to get fields that are not returned by default. ### New sync mapping configuration fields New sync mapping configuration fields, `defaultSourceFields` and `defaultTargetFields`, allow specifying which fields to use for read and query requests made on source and target resource collections. ### Security advisories ForgeRock issues security advisories in collaboration with our customers and the open source community to address any security vulnerabilities transparently and rapidly. ForgeRock's security advisory policy governs the process on how security issues are submitted, received, and evaluated as well as the timeline for the issuance of security advisories and patches. For details of all the security advisories across ForgeRock products, refer to [Security Advisories](https://backstage.forgerock.com/knowledge/kb/book/b21824339) in the *Knowledge Base library*.
