Mosaic maitenance is scheduled for Dec 16, 2024, 07:30-08:30 UTC. We will upgrade the RabbitMQ server to the version v4. No service interruptions expected.

Recently, we've released a number of additional features regarding user authentication in Management System:

• Redesigned sign in experience
• Configurable IDPs and branding
• Axinom Portal as IDP
• Simplified Microsoft Entra ID configuration
• Custom IDP

Here is a summary for the changes:

Redesigned sign in experience​

Sign-in experience is now more aligned with the industry best practices. Users can directly sign in with their email and password, or select one of the external IDPs (Identify Providers) using the bottons below. Which IDPs can be used on a given environment is configurable (see below).

New release (R110) of Axinom Mosaic is available!

It's a maintenance release fixing some issues and adding more consistency.

We recommend upgrading the libraries @axinom/mosaic-ui and @axinom/mosaic-service-common.

How do you create your video tutorials? Here is an example where we used for Axinom Mosaic one of the modern text-to-speech tools: (kudos to Nipuni Madanayake).

How does it sound for you? For me it's still a bit "robotic", but it's a native speaker pronunciation (which is not an obvious thing for a non-UK non-US company). And what is even more interesting for me with my passion for continuous delivery - it allows to create a script, store it in git, and GENERATE the audio during build time - same as what you do with any other software build artifacts.

Now you can make modifications to the original script - they are all nicely trackable through git, and new builds can be produced anytime. Compare with an effort you have to make to record such a screencast yourself.

There is still a part with clicking and screen-recording - remains manual, but we are working on it!

We’re excited to announce that Axinom Portal now offers enhanced self-management features designed specifically for organizations with multiple users. Here’s what you can do:

• Manage Environments: Configure, add, start, and stop services with ease. Learn more.
• User Access Management: Directly add or remove users from your tenant, assign roles, and skip the need for support requests. See details.
• Set Up SSO: Enforce your organization’s preferred identity provider (IDP), such as Microsoft or Google, for secure single sign-on.
• Role-Based Access Control: Choose from four user roles—Business, Billing, Admin, and Technical—to fine-tune each user’s access to specific Portal features. Explore roles.

Quick Edit is a productivity-boosting feature inside Axinom Mosaic management system that allows individuals to streamline workflows by allowing quick, in-place editing without the need to navigate away from the main Explorer Station. This is achieved by adding a panel on the right side of the Explorer Station that displays a Quick Edit form for the selected entity. The user can edit the entity in the Quick Edit form and save the changes without leaving the Explorer Station, making the editing process faster and requiring fewer clicks.

Since Google revoked CDMs for older browsers on October 31, 2024, we observe an elevated level of Widevine DRM license rejected errors. We recommend our customers to observe the client error messages, and if "revoked" errors are encountered, to update users' browsers. With the latest revocation, it requires a Chrome version 117+ to deliver a Widevine license successfully.
