Security enhancement
To optimize security, security tokens have been removed from URLs generated by Campaign:
-
This change only applies to GET URLs. Other types, including POST URLs, are not affected.
-
If you use custom code, security tokens are not retrieved from the GET URL securitytoken parameter anymore. You have to generate a new security token using the following JSSP code:
getNewSecurityToken(jsspContext.getSessionToken(), jsspContext.getSecurityToken(), true);You can also use the Login API to fetch security tokens.
-
There is no change in session token management.
Improvements
- Following the end of life of Microsoft Internet Explorer 11, the HTML rendering engine in the console is now using Microsoft Edge Chromium. Additionally, installation of Microsoft Edge WebView 2 runtime is now required for any client console installation.
- Improved workflow execution with Workflow high availability which allows you to run simultaneous workflows across different containers to prevent the loss of workflow service and avoid related execution errors. Note: This new capability is released in Limited Availability to a set of customers only.
- Privacy requests are now performed in batch for a given privacy namespace. This improvement increases execution time for GDPR/privacy delete requests.
Compatibility updates
- Campaign v8 SDK now supports iOS 16 for Push Notifications.
Refer to the Campaign Compatibility matrix.
