Keycloak provides local authentication, and can also interact with other enterprise authentication systems such as LDAP and SAML. This change greatly simplifies the configuration of the authentication method you choose.</p> <p>As a result of this change:</p> <ul> <li>Console no longer provides any built in authentication mechanisms configured in .properties files. Users, user roles and identity providers are all configured directly in Keycloak.</li> <li>There is no admin user selection in the initial start-up wizard because the first admin user is now created directly in Keycloak (see <strong><a href="https://doc.castsoftware.com/export-v2/aipconsole/install-aip-console/initial-configuration-steps/initial-configuration-steps-v-2-x/configure-authentication-and-roles-using-keycloak-v-2-x/">Configure authentication and roles using Keycloak - v. 2.x</a></strong>).</li> <li>The <strong><a href="https://doc.castsoftware.com/export-v2/aipconsole/configuration-settings/administration-center/administration-center-security/">Security tab</a></strong> has been removed from the <strong><a href="https://doc.castsoftware.com/export-v2/aipconsole/configuration-settings/administration-center/">Administration Center</a></strong> because <strong>global</strong> level roles are now configured directly in Keycloak (see <strong><a href="https://doc.castsoftware.com/export-v2/aipconsole/install-aip-console/initial-configuration-steps/initial-configuration-steps-v-2-x/configure-authentication-and-roles-using-keycloak-v-2-x/">Configure authentication and roles using Keycloak - v. 2.x</a></strong>). <strong>Resource</strong> level roles are still configured directly Console (see <strong><a href="https://doc.castsoftware.com/export-v2/aipconsole/configuration-settings/administration-center/administration-center-security/administration-center-security-user-roles/">Administration Center - Security - User Roles</a></strong>).</li> <li>Resource level roles have been simplified: there is now one single role available called <strong>Resource Owner</strong>. This role is similar to the <strong>Application Owner</strong> role available in Console v 1.x.</li> </ul> <h2 id="node-instances">Node instances</h2> <p>All registered Nodes are shown in the <strong>Nodes</strong> tab in <strong><a href="https://doc.castsoftware.com/export-v2/aipconsole/configuration-settings/administration-center/">Administration Center</a></strong> as in v. 1.x:</p>https://doc.castsoftware.com/export-v2/aipconsole/release-notes/previous-releases/2-0/aip-console-2-x-introduction/aip-console-2-x-install-process/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://doc.castsoftware.com/export-v2/aipconsole/release-notes/previous-releases/2-0/aip-console-2-x-introduction/aip-console-2-x-install-process/https://doc.castsoftware.com/export-v2/aipconsole/release-notes/previous-releases/2-0/aip-console-2-x-introduction/aip-console-2-x-initial-configuration/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://doc.castsoftware.com/export-v2/aipconsole/release-notes/previous-releases/2-0/aip-console-2-x-introduction/aip-console-2-x-initial-configuration/<p>See:</p> <ul> <li><strong><a href="https://doc.castsoftware.com/export-v2/aipconsole/install-aip-console/initial-configuration-steps/initial-configuration-steps-v-2-x/">Initial configuration steps - v. 2.x</a></strong></li> </ul>https://doc.castsoftware.com/export-v2/aipconsole/release-notes/previous-releases/2-0/aip-console-2-x-introduction/aip-console-2-x-upgrade-process/Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000https://doc.castsoftware.com/export-v2/aipconsole/release-notes/previous-releases/2-0/aip-console-2-x-introduction/aip-console-2-x-upgrade-process/<p>See:</p> <ul> <li><strong><a href="https://doc.castsoftware.com/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=AIPCONSOLE&amp;title=AIP+Console+upgrade&amp;linkCreation=true&amp;fromPageId=576127294">AIP Console upgrade</a></strong></li> <li><strong><a href="https://doc.castsoftware.com/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=AIPCONSOLE&amp;title=AIP+Node+service+upgrade&amp;linkCreation=true&amp;fromPageId=576127294">AIP Node service upgrade</a></strong></li> </ul>
