UCS 5.0-9 has been released

With Univention Corporate Server 5.0-9, the 9th point release for Univention Corporate Server (UCS) is now available.

UCS 5.0-9 provides several feature improvements and extensions, new properties as well as various improvements and bugfixes. Here is an overview of the most important changes:

  • Single Sign-On (SSO) is a central element of integrated identity & access
    management (IAM). The Nubus Identity Provider already supports the most
    important protocols, SAML and OpenID Connect (OIDC). With Univention
    Corporate Server 5.0-9, OIDC is now also available for the UCS web
    interfaces, in particular the portal and the Univention Management Console
    (UMC). In addition to the migration to the newer SSO mechanism, OIDC in UCS
    5.0-9 enables new functions such as the “Back-channel Logout”, which supports
    a Single Logout (SLO) without user interaction. To improve the user
    experience, an automatic update of the portal content in all open tabs after
    a logout ensures that the logged out state is displayed correctly everywhere.

  • The Active Directory Connection synchronizes users, groups and computer
    objects between Nubus and Active Directory (AD). With UCS 5.0-9, selective
    synchronization has been fundamentally revised. It now enables flexible
    control of the synchronized objects on the basis of Allow and Deny filters,
    both at the level of entire sub trees and individual object types.
    The improved selection ensures that only the desired objects are
    synchronized, which avoids unwanted entries on both sides and minimizes
    manual effort.

  • UCS 5.0-9 includes various security updates, for example for apache2, BIND9, docker, OpenJDK-11, dovecot, postgresql, systemd, and the Linux-5.10 kernel.
