22. Appliance Core - Authentication
SAML Authentication
DEMO

23. Appliance Core - Authentication
Upcoming:
● manageiq_docs update for SAML configuration
● Appliance Console enhancement to update External Auth options
● REST API Authentication SAML/ECP

24. REST API (A. Bellotti)
● Enhanced filtering to use MiqExpression
With this enhancement the REST API leverages MiqExpression to handle its
filtering, allowing requests to be able to filter on physical, as well as virtual
attributes, including attributes of first-level associations.
GET /api/vms?attributes=name,vendor,hardware
&filter[]=vendor=vmware
&filter[]=hardware.memory_mb>=8192

25. REST API
● Support refresh_dialog_fields on /api/service_dialogs resources
Similar to the support of refresh_dialog_fields on service_templates,
we needed to add that capability for any dialog that may be defined
on custom buttons.
POST /api/service_dialogs/:id
{
“action” : “refresh_dialog_fields”,
“dialog_fields” : {
“my_field1” : “current value 1”,
“my_field2” : “current value 2”,
…
}
“fields” : [ “my_field1” ]
}

26. REST API
● Showing hrefs for collections in authorization details in entrypoint
Enhanced API to include Role identifiers for collections and augmented the
authorization hash in the entrypoint to include that correlation:
GET /api?attributes=authorization
...
"authorization": {
"product_features": {
...
"vm": {
"name": "VM Access Rules",
"description": "Access Rules for Virtual Machines",
"href": "http://localhost:3000/api/vms",
...
}

42. SmartState (R. Oliveri)
● SCVMM
○ Support for network-mounted HyperV virtual disks
○ Performance improvements (HyperDisk caching)
● Azure
○ Azure-armrest: added offset/length blob read
support.
○ Added AzureBlobDisk module for MiqDisk.
○ Implemented MiqAzureVm subclass of MiqVm.
○ Needs to be integrated into the SSA path.

43. SmartState (R. Oliveri)
● Testing
○ Added TestEnvHelper class for gems/pending.
■ Support for global and per-test parameters.
■ Private data filtering.
■ Cassette recording support - directory structure
based on test location.
■ Re-recording facilitated through environment
variable settings - switch between public and
private data.

44. Automate (G. McCullough)
● Automate state-machine fields to contain methods
○ Previously
■ State fields only contained relationships
■ Methods need to be in separate class
■ Users worked around this limitation by using the
on_entry column to reference a method in the
current class
● Issue: on_entry does not honor state retry
● New Syntax: METHOD::<method_name>
○ Benefits
■ State-machine instances and methods can be
grouped together in the same class

45. Automate
● Example METHOD:: usage
● Automate model enhancement:
○ Azure Auto-Placement support

46. Services
Back-end changes:
● Service Order (Cart) created for each Service Request
based on current user and tenant.
○ Next: “Add to Cart” ordering from Self-service UI
● VMware add/remove disk methods for reconfigure
○ UI work in progress

47. Ansible Tower
● Modeling for AnsibleTowerJob
● Support for launching JobTemplates with a
limit. (Target specific system)
● In progress
○ Running JobTemplates from an Automate instance
○ Support for Ansible Tower as a Service Type
○ Linking Ansible Tower hosts to inventory from other
providers
