  • Authentication types LDAP and AD can now use OpenID Connect as their login mechanism. This applies to LDAP authentication realms.

  • To configure the component, please provide the required access information, including the Project ID and package name.

• z/OS search report

  • This new report allows users to search for a file or a version across all environments and applications.
