v1.10.0 (WIP)

Features and Enhancements

  • Added an additional connectors/apis permission validation for Connector API access.
    • When enable-connector-apis-permissions is enabled, the system performs an additional connectors/apis permission check for Connectors API requests that browse tool data. This change separates Connector discovery from actual Connector API usage.
    • For more details, see Connectors Permission Model and Connector API.
  • Added an additional connectors/proxy permission validation for Connectors Proxy access.
    • When enable-connector-proxy-permissions is enabled, the system performs an additional connectors/proxy permission check before workloads or CLIs use proxy-based Connector access. This change separates Connector discovery from actual runtime use.
    • For more details, see Connectors Permission Model and Connectors Proxy.
  • Added approval-gated access control for protected Connectors Proxy usage.
    • When enable-connectors-approval is enabled together with enable-connector-proxy-permissions, administrators can use AccessPolicy and AccessRequest to require approval before a workload is allowed to use protected Connector proxy access.
    • For more details, see Connectors Approval & Permission Gating.
  • Add ca.crt to the Connectors-CSI built-in configuration as a replacement for ca.cert.
  • Support integration with JFrog Artifactory by using JFrog Connector. more details:
  • Support integration with Nexus Artifactory by using Nexus Connector. more details:
