Release Notes:  Property Manager

Updated Features:

• Hostnames table. Over the next few weeks we will be rolling out a new Property Manager hostnames table that will let you more quickly and easily see the status of the hostnames, and their related SSL/TLS certificates, on your property. You can take a guided tour of the enhancements once the updated table is enabled for your account. Property Manager API (PAPI) is not affected by this update.  
• Origin Characteristics behavior.
  • The “AWS Secret Access Key” field is no longer limited to 40 characters in length.
  • Added Optional suffix to Hostname.
• Construct Response behavior. Added an option to the Construct Response behavior to exclude AKAMAI_PURGE and AKAMAI_TRANSLATE requests by wrapping the behavior xml in a request type. 
• Construct Response behavior. Added the 417 (Expectation Failed) response code option.

Bug Fixes:

• Origin behavior. When using NetStorage origin with Media products (Download Delivery, Adaptive Media Delivery, Object Delivery), the max-reconnects is now set to 1, ensuring that failover will trigger before timeout.
• Set-Variable behavior.

Shared Policy is Activated for Audience Segmentation and Forward Rewrite Cloudlets

Previously, Edge Redirector was the only Cloudlet that supported the new Shared Policy activation. Shared Policy is now available for the Audience Segmentation and Forward Rewrite Cloudlets. The use of Shared Policy allows using the same policy with all available properties that are tied to the same user account. Also, Shared Policy helps to reduce the activation time when there are multiple properties.
