COMAND Solutions released webCOMAND 2.63 today.  The new version adds several security improvements to comply with various regulations, standards and best practices.

Improved Security Features:

  • New security log to maintain audit trail of all login and logout activity.
  • Configurable failed login attempt handling.  Number of attempts, time-frame and time to lock out can all be configured.  Users can be manually unlocked by users with user administration authorizations.
  • Password requirements can be customized to implement specific policies.  The number of characters, types of characters and other requirements can be defined.

Enhancements for Developers:

  • New COMAND Script statement, #ARCHIVELIST, can extract and iterate through files in an archive file, such as a zip, gzip or tar file.  Each file can be processed and/or published independently with each iteration.
  • #SIZE COMAND Script statement can now automatically format the result for display in GB, KB, MB or Bytes.
  • New Import/Export option to report information about the import/export process.  For example, display what files are read and which records are updated/created/ignored to help with troubleshooting.  Multiple levels of reporting are available for more or less detail.

Other improvements:

  • Upload progress dialog automatically appears for submissions that take longer than 1 second, which typically occurs when a large file is uploaded.
  • The backup process now runs in the background to minimize down-time while a backup is created.  Downtime is typically only a few seconds and users will only notice a short pause if accessing the server at the exact moment a backup is started.
  • Other minor updates and fixes are also included.
