Changes for Users Password Management

In our continuous effort to enhance the security features of our platform, in this release we are rolling out many significant improvements such as:

  1. The user passwords are kept hashed instead of encrypted in our database (using SHA256 algorithm).
  2. New activation process for registered Storefront users. We will no longer send any passwords in clear text form. Instead, the customer will receive an activation link for verifying his email before allowing him to login in the Storefront. The same process will be followed for Storefront users created directly in BSS.
  3. Forgot password procedure now implemented via reset link. An email with a reset link will be sent to the Storefront user for setting his new password.

For more details, please check Storefront User Password Management

Storefront Web Compliance

In this release we improved our Storefront to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 AAA and and to fully support html5. Below a list of our enhancements:

  1. Ensure new windows or frames do not open without a warning
  2. Using label elements to associate text labels with form controls
  3. Provide alternative text for images
  4. Ensure the language of a document is set
  5. Avoid the sole use of device-dependent event handlers
  6. Using Meaningful Link Text
  7. Ensure markup documents contain well-formed elements

CAPTCHA for the Registration Page

You can now activate the use of Google reCAPTCHA for your Storefront registration page. Google reCAPTCHA is a free service that protects your website from spam and abuse. reCAPTCHA uses an advanced risk analysis engine and adaptive CAPTCHAs to keep automated software from engaging in abusive activities on your site. It does this while letting your valid users pass through with ease.

You can enable this new feature by activating this option in the Storefront Setting in BSS setup area.

Azure Provisioning Improvements

For Microsoft tenants with hundreds or thousand of users, the provisioning of an Azure subscription fails because the process of finding which are the admin users it's too long and timeouts. In this release we improved this process and even for tenants with thousands of users the process last only one minute or two.
