What's New

• The robustness of token-based authentication of requests from Genesys Administrator Extension (GAX) can be improved by using one or both of the following new configuration objects. Both options are set in the [system] section of Configuration Server or Configuration Server Proxy. The new options are:

  token-tolerance

  Default value: 60 (seconds)

  Valid Values: 0 to ??? MAXINT

  Changes Take Effect: ???

  If the GAX and Configuration Server clocks are not synchronized, this option provides the specified time interval (in seconds) as tolerance before the token start'time and after the token end-time. For example:
  1. GAX generates a token valid from 12:00:00 to 12:20:00
  2. The token-tolerance option is set to 60 (the default).
  3. On the Configuration Server side, the token is valid from 11:59:00 to 12:21:00.

  token-ttl

  Default value: 1440 (minutes)

  Valid Values: ???

  Changes Take Effect: ???

  Specifies how long (in minutes) the token is valid on the Configuration Server side.

  If the value is set to a positive non-zero integer, the token is valid for the time interval specified by this option, starting from the time specified by GAX.
  For example:
  1. GAX generates a token which is valid from 12:00 to 3:00.
  2. The token-ttl option is set to 60 minutes.
  3. On the Configuration Server side, the token is valid from 12:00 to 1:00.
  But if token-ttl is set to 65 minutes, the token is valid from 12:00 to 1:05. If this option is not set in a Configuration Server or Configuration Server instance, the instance uses the value of the token_life_in_minutes option in the [general] section of the GAX application. If token_life_in_minutes is not set, or set to 0 (zero), in the GAX application. the default value (1440 minutes) of token-ttl is used. For more information about this token-based authentication feature, refer to the "Secure Communication with Configuration Server" section in the Genesys Administrator Extension Deployment Guide.

Resolved Issues

This release contains the following resolved issues:

---

---

The primary and backup master Configuration Servers now stay connected while loading data and/or history records. Previously in this scenario, the backup server sometimes disconnected from the primary server, so that not all of the data and/or history records were loaded. (MFWK-18941)
