HelpSystems Insite

July 2017

Version: 1.14

June 2017

Version: 1.13
  • NEW! You can now create users, roles, default profiles, and security groups in Insite
    • Users can be added (either manually or automatically) and given permissions to various areas of Insite and Insite products
    • Roles are collections of authorities that control what parts of Insite a user has access to
    • Default Profiles are added to roles and give users permission to products and systems/servers they may otherwise not be able to access (an IBM i authenticated user that needs access to an Automate Enterprise server, for example)
    • Security Groups organize users and minimize the number of roles you need to assign a user directly. You can add users to a security group manually or have them automatically added through LDAP authentication
  • The Navigation Pane has been redesigned for easier access to the administrator and user settings, as well as to the product selection menu
  • LDAP authentication has been enhanced to pre-assign users to security groups based on certain identifiers (like whatever is expressed in the distinguished name you add to the LDAP Group field when creating a security group)
  • The ability to hide products from the Navigation Pane (found in Preferences) has been removed
  • “Notifications” has been renamed to “Alerts” in the Navigation Pane. We’ve also consolidated the alerts into a single call
  • Webdocs for IBM i has been added to the Insite framework. See Webdocs for IBM i for Insite.
WARNING: Because of the enhancements we've made to Insite, including the addition of role-based security, you MUST log on as admin after upgrading the product and create an updated user with permissions. If you don't, the credentials you currently use for Insite will not have access to crucial product areas and settings.
Version: 1.12.1
  • Corrected an issue that prevents users from authenticating Insite with a system that doesn't have RBTSYSLIB installed.

April 2017

Version: 1.12

We updated Deployment Manger for Insite. See the April 2017 release notes page for details.

March 2017

Version: 1.11
Opt-in Profiles

You can now use opt-in profiles for almost all supported products in Insite (this feature does not currently integrate with Robot Network for HelpSystems Insite). Opt-in profiles allow you to create and assign a profile to a product connection without setting up an assigned profile beforehand.

December 2016

Version: 1.10

  • We upgraded to a 64-bit version of Insite for Windows.

  • We upgraded TomCat to version 8.5.5.

  • The number of connections made to the IBM i during startup has been reduced.

  • Product connections are checked upon login to prevent users from being locked out of their IBM i accounts.

  • Connections in the pool can now have passwords over 10 characters long.

  • Updates to Powertech Products for Insite:

    • We reduced the minimum number of connections Powertech products in Insite can make to the IBM i.

    • The search dialog only shows the "no record found" message when there are no records.

    • A failed login check has been added to prevent disabled profiles during startup.

October 2016

Version: 1.9

  • The HelpSystems Deployment Manager is now available! This new offering allows you to view information about Robot and Powertech products that are currently installed, available for install, or available for an update on your IBM i systems.

    You can also install, update, or stage products directly from the HelpSystems Deployment Manager, no external installers or files necessary. Multiple installations can be run at a time on different systems.

    View the HelpSystems Deployment Manager Online Help in Insite for more information.

August 2016

Version: 1.7

  • The preferences specific to Robot Network and Robot Schedule have been moved so they’re now accessed under those product menus.

  • A general preference was added that allows you to specify which products you want visible in the left-hand navigation menu. To set this, go to the Products section under Server Settings > User Settings > Preferences.

  • Authentication (Server Settings > Admin Settings > Authentication) has been enhanced so that you can set LDAP authentication to use an SSL connection.

  • The loading of dashboards widgets that display lists has been improved.
