Bluink Identity Server

The Bluink Identity server is distributed using Docker, installable on most Linux distributions. To upgrade use the following: cd bluid ; git pull ; ./utils upgrade

v3.1

  • Added support for Microsoft Intune via a new configuration flag

    To use it, if you need Intune support, add the following to the end of your config/.env file:

    USE_INTUNE=true
    
    1
  • Enabled attestation certificate validation

    This is now always on. When Intune mode is disabled, this uses our default attestation certificate. When Intune mode is enabled, it uses the custom certificate configured via Intune.

  • Updated client API documentation

    Please ask us for the latest documentation if you need access to the API if you want to control user management from your own application.

v3.0

  • Add new set of options for usage policies on relying party

    Reauthentication options come with the biometric option enabled by default.

    • Always allow
    • Only reauthenticate when outside geofences
    • Always reauthenticate
    • Inside geofences only, always allow
    • Inside geofences only, always reautheticate
  • Public geofences applied per relying party, with personal geofences applied to the account(s) they are assigned to when Include Personal Geofences is enabled

    Geofences are used when required by the usage policies listed above.
