BCC WEB - 1.7.2

This update brings a valuable enhancement, allowing users to enjoy continuous app access by staying logged in during active interactions. Additionally, it introduces minor improvements to biometrics capture and e-mail service.

Compatibility

  • GBDS 4.5.6 or later
  • Database: Compatible with the dump found in the release folder

MD5 Checksum: 634aca2a4e44e4d49644bcded3020b09

New Features

[IF-001][BESTW-1720][CNF] Boosted user experience with continuous app access

This update improved user experience by maintaining seamless app access. Now, users can stay logged in while actively engaging with the application within a specified time frame, as determined by the session.expirationTime.server variable in config.properties.

To enable this feature, configure the session.expirationTime.server variable using the format <number><unit>, where the unit can be “s” for seconds, “m” for minutes, or “h” for hours. For instance, set it as “3600s” to establish a 1-hour idle period.

Improvements

[IP-001][CNF] E-mail service flow alternative through new Python script.

Now an alternative is available for the email sender service through a script written in Python programming language.

Bug Fixes

[BF-001][BCW-377][UI] Enhanced error handling for fingerprint and palmprint capture

In prior versions, encountering an error during fingerprint or palmprint capture would result in a generic warning message, often misleading users into attempting biometric capture again or sequence control adjustments when the underlying issue might be unrelated, such as a session ID expiration.

With this update, error handling has been significantly improved. Now, if a user faces authorization issues (e.g., an expired session ID), they’ll receive an error message tailored to the problem. This not only prevents unnecessary attempts at biometric capture but also redirects the user to the login screen for a more straightforward resolution.

A bug could occur during the capture of a face, making the application enter an infinite loop. To fix it, an ‘Interrupt capture’ button was added. By clicking on it, BCC Service is going to be restarted and all requests to BCC Service are cancelled.

Users now can change their password after logged in. In order to do that, the user must click the option “Change password” from the dropdown with their username in the top-right of the application.

After the new password is accepted, the user is automatically returned to the previous page.

[NF-003][BCW-325] Allow admin to download images and metadata of captured profiles.

Users now have a new option at login screen that they can reset their password if it was forgotten. After clicking on it, they must inform their username and they will receive an e-mail with a temporary code. After typing the code successfully, they can type a new password, following the rules described in the screen.

[NF-005][BESTW-1663][CNF][OPT] Browser enrollment.

Users now will be informed that they are attempting to access the application from a new browser if they change the browser they are accessing it. They must return to the previous browser or authenticate the new one, revoking the access from the previous browser. To authenticate the new browser, they must type a code received in their e-mail correctly.

Improvements

[IP-001][CNF][CHG] The maximum number of login attempts is now based in a database value.

Previously the maximum number of login attempts was fixed in 5. Now it uses the value from a database row. If the value does not exist, the fallback will be the previous value (5 attempts).

[IP-002][UI][BCW-306] Improved user’s experience while downloading BCC Service.

BCC Service download now happens in background, and users can navigate in the application while the download did not finish. It also displays the download complete percentage.

[IP-003][UI] Added user’s organization in application header.

Users now can check their organization by looking at the application header.

Bug Fixes

[BF-001][BCW-323] Unable to finish capturing a profile with signatures

A bug could occur during the capture of a profile if the captureSignature flag was true, making it impossible for the user to complete the capture, as the finalize button was disabled, with a warning that the signature was not captured, even though it had been done.
