7803

Static routes raises GEN-13 if fields are sent empty

Resolved Issues

Key

Summary

 

Key

Summary

 

7026

HA fails for persistent VMs due to an invalid requirement of a shared datastore that Abiquo does not use for persistent VMs

 

7633

Tab key does not work properly when filling in forms

 

7769

Fields collapsed in Edit firewalls dialog for Inbound/Outbound fields



7873

Edit enterprise not working if pricing tab has not been displayed

7875

Searching for public cloud templates, after clicking on a page and then repeating the search, the user sees the wrong page

 

7876

Cannot capture a VM if the first disk on the controller is a data disk. Fixed so you can now capture the virtual machine and apply basic reconfigures (CPU/RAM). BUT it is not possible to modify the storage devices

 

7880

GEN 13 error if Azure credentials do not have a Subscription ID

 

7882

Fix trace after failed deploy to include Virtual Machine ID

 

7883

Azure networking only recognizes the default subnet. Fixed so that you can now create multiple subnets. See Microsoft Azure Integration

 

7890

HTML5 UI client does not work when Google Maps library is not reachable (because there is no Internet conection). Fixed to include new client-config.json properties. See Abiquo 3.2 patch version upgrade

 

7902

When capturing VMs on ESX, Ethernet drivers of NICs could be changed. Now Abiquo will use the driver of the first NIC (ordered by sequence) to create all the NICs in the captured template

 

7913

Error on Create user form

 

7915

Large template upload returns 401 unauthorized error



7916

Hypervisor MOVE of imported VM is not fully processed. Retrieved and captured VMs can be duplicated in Abiquo

 

7918

A MOVE event is detected for a VM between public cloud regions with the same credentials. This is because VMs for all regions in the same provider are registered for each region

Azure reconfigure of hardware fails since networking feature was added due to a bug in the Azure API documentation

7944

Azure storage account names are not unique and Azure requires unique names as identifiers. Fixed by naming the storage account with a unique code generated from the subscription ID and region, with a configurable prefix for identifying the account in the Azure portal

7949

Azure create virtual datacenter fails if no network exists

7954

Some fields of restore event for virtual machine backup are not correct. The backup date should be shown instead of the restore date

7957

3.2.4



Changes in Abiquo 3.2.4

Usability Improvements and UI Configuration Changes.

See Usability Improvements in Abiquo 3.2  for full details of all the improvements mentioned in these release notes.  

New client property to control reset password link

In Abiquo 3.2.4 there is a new client configuration property to control the display of the password recovery¡ link on the login screen. This property is mandatory in the client-config.json file.

You must add the following client reset password link property to Abiquo 3.2.4 or the UI will not function properly. Remember to check your JSON file format: you must add a comma after each property, except for the last one. If you make an error in the file format, the UI will not load.

Edit /var/www/html/ui/config/client-config.json. Go to the section where the other client properties can be found.

To hide the reset password link, set the property to false. 

 ...
 "client.password.recovery": false,
 ...

  A sample configuration file with these properties included is available on the Abiquo Server at the following location

/var/www/html/ui/config/client-config.json.rpmnew

After disabling "Allow password reset" option in Configuration view, the "Forgot your password?" link still shows on the login screen. You must set the new "client.password.recovery" parameter in client-config.json. When this property is true, the link is shown, and by default the Configuration option to "Allow password reset" is disabled. See Configure Abiquo UI
