TrustPortal release notes
Feature summary
The following features have been introduced in this version:
- The API and Web dockers have been merged, allowing for simpler deployment and management.
- Significant architectural changes to the TrustPortal Agent:
- Ability to support local TrustPortal Agent for each runtime resource.
- Agent registration requires secure token issued by an administrator.
- Agent configuration is centralized in new Admin > Agent area.
- Improved installation
- The look and feel of forms accessed via the Direct URL option has been improved to better match calling websites and systems. This allows administrators to remove banners, and change the active theme in order to match the system or website that is calling the Direct URL form.
- The API Dashboard (aka "Express Admin") has been removed to prevent unintentional data corruption issues.
- A new Licensing module has been introduced, which includes a new encrypted license file required for TrustPortal operation.
- Performance optimization of the ”tp_action” tiles, especially for high throughput (e.g. use with IVR).
- Improved TrustPortal example processes.
- Ability to embed TrustPortal forms in existing systems (e.g. Salesforce.com) or websites using "multi-use" Direct URL tokens.
- Enhanced security for use of the Direct URL form embedded in other systems to stop cross-site scripting/man-in-middle and denial of service attacks.
