Nexus 4.0 New Features

You can download Nexus from our client portal at MyBCDSoftware.com or from our public site.

LDAP Support

Google Mini Support

End users can now use the same profile to log in to Nexus as they do to log in to other LDAP supported resources. LDAP users can either be created automatically as they log in, or they can be added by the site administrator. After they are added they can then be assigned permissions to content in Nexus and be assigned to Nexus groups. Site administrators of organizations who use LDAP no longer need to manage separate LDAP and Nexus profiles and can now disable profiles from the same place.

Improved Cross Browser Support

Cross Browser Support

Cross-browser support has become very important for any web solution with the popularity of Firefox and the increasing market share of Chrome. The end user interface of Nexus has been supported in those browsers for a while now and in Nexus 4 the site administration interface is also supported. This was done by increasing the web standards compliance of the HTML, CSS and JavaScript (jQuery) in Nexus.

Improved Installation Process

Flexible Installation

The installation process has also been improved by simplifying the installation of concurrent Nexus sites, by making the install faster and by reducing the steps needed to configure Nexus .

Password Expiry Warning and Updating

Improved Password Handling

Password security is improved in Nexus 4 with better encryption handling and users now have the ability to change their IBM i user profile passwords from the Nexus login screen. Nexus administrators can control the number of days in advance to start displaying the password expiration warning message.

Improved Password Encryption

Enhanced Encryption

As of release 4 you can set the encryption seed for generating Nexus passwords.
