Enhancements

Key Features

In-house Increff Captcha

This approach is less secure but more robust compared to Google recaptcha.

  • We have created distorted previews containing 5 random alphanumeric characters. Both capital and small case letters are included.

  • User can refresh if he / she is facing any difficulty in recognizing the characters.

  • Everytime the captcha is fetched in a random order.

Sample preview of Increff CAPTCHA

Limited Forgot Password Link Access

  • Previously, a user can re-use the link sent for a resetting password multiple times to reset his / her password.

  • Now it has been limited to just 5 times.

Bug Fixes

Resource Caching

  • We have implemented a dynamic cache busting mechanism which enforces the browser to load the latest version of the ressources files.

  • No need to do a hard refresh on any page.

Users not able to Login

  • Newly registered users were not allowed to login.

    • This was mainly due to the wrong value set for login mode of that user during registration.

  • Super admin created admin users not able to login on newly created organizations for the 1st time.

    • This was again due to the wrong value set for login mode during organization creation.

Wrong password limit not reset on successful login.

  • When a user enters the wrong password, the user gets locked out and he needs to contact the admin to reset his password.

    • Previously If a user enters the right password before his account gets locked out the retry count was not getting reset. This has been fixed.

Multiple Application Roles Assignment

  • Previously, the roles selected resets on change of application when viewing the roles assigned to an user.

  • The state will now be retained and on submit all changes will be recorded.

  • New option of All Roles added for viewing all roles.

  • The user role popup will always show action buttons Submit & Cancel even if the content is large and will show inside scroll for better usability.
