    • In VAST Web UI, the Require SMB Signing toggle in tenant settings (Element Store -> Tenants -> choose to create or edit a tenant -> go to Advanced tab)

    • In VAST CLI, the --enable-require-smb-signing and --disable-require-smb-signing options on the tenant create and tenant modify commands

    • In VAST REST API, the require_smb_signing parameter for the /tenant/ and /tenant/<ID> endpoints.

Authentication & Authorization

  • ORION-84428, ORION-172848: Added an ability to specify an additional filter string to be appended to the search base DN in all user queries that VAST Cluster makes to the provider.

    The following user controls have been added for this purpose:

    • In VAST Web UI, the Filters field in the Advanced tab of Active Directory settings (User Management -> Active Directory -> choose to create or edit an Active Directory configuration -> Advanced tab)

    • In VAST CLI, the --advanced-filter option on the ldap create and ldap modify commands

  • ORION-126792: Made CNode CPU metrics visible for admin users in VAST Cluster analytics (Analytics -> Analytics -> search for CPU under Predefined Analytics).
