  • The new interactive window provides the following options:  

    • Select objects to test.  

    • Select environment.  

    • Enter notes.  

    • Choose if you want to have the results emailed.  

• Updated the results page layout.

The latest update to mPulse includes the following enhancement:

• mPulse Lite customers can now see and use the Dimensions dashboard.

The latest update to mPulse includes the following bug fixes:

• Fixed a chart permissions error that states: “Current user/tenant does not have permission to read object”. Previously, this error occurred if the widget permission was set higher than the dashboard level permission.
• Waterfall dashboard can now correctly filter beacons for synthetic browser values.
• mPulse Alert emails now include an image when that option is selected in alert Attributes.

Enterprise Threat Protector (ETP) now includes these enhancements:

Deploy custom lists in less than 30 seconds. Like other configuration settings in ETP, you can now deploy custom lists in less than 30 seconds.

Migrate quick lists to custom lists. Quick lists are now discontinued. If you configured an Allow or a Deny quick list, you can migrate this data to custom lists. On the Quick Lists page (Configuration > Quick Lists), click the Migrate Quick Lists button to migrate your quick list data to an Allow custom list and a Deny custom list. Migrated quick lists are added to all policies, allowing you to manage these lists as part of a policy configuration. By default, the migrated Allow list is granted the bypass policy action, while the migrated Deny list is assigned the block policy action.

After migrating quick lists, make sure you deploy all pending changes. Once the migration is complete, the Quick List page is no longer available at your next login.

Note: If your organization never configured quick lists, no action is needed. In this case, the Quick Lists page is no longer available from the navigation menu.

We’re excited to announce the expansion of EdgeWorkers to Akamai’s enhanced secure network. You can now run edge functions everywhere on the network. Other notable changes include our new EdgeWorkers Management application and the Command Line Interface (CLI).

Note: If you have EdgeWorker functions deployed under the Tech Preview, there are changes below which will require a code update. Future releases will not force immediate code changes.

New:

• You can now perform the administrative tasks required to execute EdgeWorkers functions with the EdgeWorkers Management application user interface (UI).
• The EdgeWorkers CLI is now available to help automate and simplify your workflow.
• Trace response headers are now available to debug code on the network.
• The Cookies and URLSearchParams modules are available to access and modify query parameters.
• JavaScript modules can now be combined in the“main.js” file, allowing you to include useful libraries or align code to different teams.

Updates:

• The “main.js” file is now a module, enabled in strict mode by default. The four event functions now require the “export” keyword.
• The Request and Response Object methods have been removed from the new Cookies module.
• The Response constructor has been removed.
• The userLocation object now includes zipcode and city.
• onOriginRequest() and onClientResponse() cannot be used to create responses.
• When creating a deny response, you can provide the reason using the Reason ID.
• EdgeWorkers is now enabled across Akamai’s enhanced secure network. You no longer need the custom map to limit your traffic to a specific edge machine.

The latest update for the Case Management release includes:

• Upload file size increased to 20 MBs in support tickets.
• Bug fixes.

Enhancements

The following enhancements have been added with this release:

• Enhancements to the Policy Assignments UI: The create/edit UIs have been updated to handle a large number of policy assignments.
• New notification is displayed for non-active polices: If you’re editing a policy assignment and then save it, a notification is displayed if the associated configuration is not active.

Bug Fixes:

The following issues have been addressed with Media Delivery Reports:

• Certain metrics were not clickable in charts. With older versions, these reports allowed you to display or hide specific metrics on each graph widget by clicking them. A recent release broke this functionality, and we’ve fixed it in this release.
• Certain reports were not sending complete data via email.

Enhancements in Identity and Access Management Application

• Strengthened password hashing resulting in greater security. As a result, any customers with security settings that do not allow the re-use of the most recent 24 passwords may experience a slight delay when changing passwords. This includes customers in compliance with FedRAMP guidelines.

The latest update for API Gateway includes the following features:

• In JWT settings, you can now load public RSA keys dynamically from a JSON web key set (JWKS).
• The color of switches throughout the API Definitions and Key and Quota Management applications has changed from red/green to grey/dark blue to increase usability.

Enterprise Threat Protector (ETP) now includes these features and enhancements:

• Associate locations to a scheduled report configuration. You can now configure a scheduled report to show events based on a location or multiple locations. By default, scheduled reports are configured to show events based on all locations.
• View data and configuration settings available to a tenant administrator. If an ETP super administrator assigns the tenant administrator role, a Filter data by tenant administrator field now allows you to view data and settings available to a tenant administrator. After you specify a tenant administrator in the field and navigate ETP, the filter shows configuration settings and event data based on the locations, policies, and lists the tenant administrator can manage.
• New tab names on the Activity page. The DNS tab is now called the DNS Summary tab, and the Proxy tab is now called the Proxy Summary tab.
