2.0.0 (August 15, 2017)

SHAID Integration

• Communicates with SHAID to retrieve application information
• Checks for updated data from SHAID on start up, and when the /api/v1/request route is hit

SQL Database Integration

• Connects to PostgreSQL and can connect to other SQL implementations if plugins are written for them
• Stores pieces of the policy table and application information in the database

Policy Table Construction

• Uses the information in the database to reconstruct a policy table
• Listens for policy table update requests
• Compares incoming app IDs to the app IDs stored in the policy table's database to determine if those app IDs have permissions
• Allows automating the process of assigning functional groups to apps for granting permissions

Customization

• Offloads work to modules in the custom folder which allow for high flexibility in how the work should be handled
• Database modules can change to support different SQL databases
• Logger modules can change to support different log outputs
• Data collector modules can change to add extra information that can exist for an application from SHAID
• Policy builder modules can change how the policy table is constructed and what kinds of permissions and HMI levels are used

API Changes

• GET /api/v1/request Queries SHAID for updated application information. WebHook integration is planned for future releases so that this process can be automatic
• POST /api/v1/staging/policy Constructs a policy table, and is the route sdl_core's default policy table should use when requesting a policy table update
