Release 4.0.0

Visible Changes in Flow Director

This release provides a new start page that integrates the App selector. In multi-app mode it looks like this:

In single-app mode where users shouldn’t see which Apps are installed, it looks like this:

The direct login must then be used, for example:

http://localhost:8080/?app=swiftmqexplorer

The login page is now per App:

A new App Switcher has been added to the App’s toolbar to switch between Apps easily. It is only visible in the default multi-app mode or in the single-app mode for admin users:

The client token is stored in the browser’s local storage. You don’t need to re-login if you switch Apps.

New App: Azure SSO

This new App provides Single-Sign-On for any Flow Director App through Microsoft Azure Active Directory. It handles the whole OAuth 2.0 Flow for Apps deployed on a Flow Director instance. The App requires Flow Director 4.0.0 or later.

Connect multiple Standalone SwiftMQ Routers

Standalone routers are intended to run standalone. If you connect them to Flow Director in embedded mode you will create a router network and network-wide pub/sub where all topics of the same name are connected. So users have deployed one Flow Director instance per standalone router and have spent one or more App licenses for that.

This is not necessary anymore. You can connect standalone routers and also separated router networks without influencing each other and save license costs if you follow these instructions:
