Overview

Version 3.2 incorporates Team approvals on top of the 3.1 capabilities. In summary, version 3.2 incorporates the below new features:

• Team Approval and Creation (new for 3.2)

• Team User Approvals

• All settings can be configured as environment variables

• Support for simplified Azure Container App deployment

• Support for simplified AWS ECS Service deployment

• HSTS is enabled for improved HTTPS security

• IP address filtering for device approval and team approval

• Optional rate limiting for all APIs

• Optional filtering by email domain

Team Approval and Team User Approvals

Teams that are provisioned through SCIM can be immediately processed by the Automator service (instead of waiting for the admin to login to the console).

To activate this new feature:

• Update your Automator container to the latest version

• Use the automator edit command in Keeper Commander to instruct the service to perform team and team user approvals:

automator edit --skill=team --skill=team_for_user --skill=device "My Automator"
automator setup "My Automator"
automator init "My Automator"
automator enable "My Automator"

All settings can be configured as environment variables

This makes configuration easier when installing Automator in Azure Containers or other Docker-like containers where access to the settings file is difficult.

In Docker, Azure Containers, or other environments that use the docker-compose.yml file, you can set environment variables in the docker compose file, for example:

services:
  automator:
    container_name: "az-autodock"
    environment:
      - AUTOMATOR_PORT=8090
      - AUTOMATOR_HOST=10.0.0.4
      - DISABLE_SNI_CHECK=true

After editing the docker-compose.yml file, you will need to rebuild the container if the environment variables have changed. Just restarting the container will not incorporate the changes.

Advanced Features

To activate this new feature:

Example:

automator edit --skill=team_for_user --skill=device "My Automator"
automator setup "My Automator"
automator init "My Automator"
automator enable "My Automator"

All settings can be configured as environment variables

Upgrade from 1.x to 2.1

A direct path to upgrade is not available. Installing a fresh new version of the Automator is the recommended path forward.

Upgrade Instructions:

(1) From Commander, disable the current automator:

My Vault> automator list

... get the ID ...

My Vault> automator disable XXX

(2) Retrieve the ssl-certificate.pfx and ssl-certificate-password.txt files from your current installation of Automator. If no password is set for the certificate, you only need the ssl-certificate.pfx file.

(3) Install a new version of Automator using one of the new installation methods:

https://docs.keeper.io/sso-connect-cloud/device-approvals/automator (4) Run the setup/init/enable commands from Commander:

My Vault> automator setup XXX
My Vault> automator init XXX
My Vault> automator enable XXX

New Features

• KAA-28: Support approvals for multiple MCs within the same tenant For more information see Multi-Tenant Mode documentation.

• KAA-41: Support for conditional approvals based on a new SAML response flag DeviceApprovalRequired which can be set to true or false. A value of "true" means that the device needs to be manually approved by the user. A value of "false" means that the device should be automatically approved by the automator service.

Version 1.0.6 supports Windows Services. To convert an existing Windows cmd-line install to the full Services mode, follow the steps below:
