For version 5.0.0, we do not have OKTA authentication in place. This will be coming ASAP.

One final note - If when you first log in the header states that it is Open-AudIT Community and you do have a license, DON'T PANIC. It just needs a new request to consult the license file and all will be well. Just refresh the page.

The New Stuff

Version 5 of Open-AudIT. Wow, what a ride. Underneath the skin, it is huge. We have upgraded the underlying framework and brought the code itself up to current best practices. As a result, we now install on current Redhat, Debian, and Ubuntu and we need a minimum of PHP 7.4. Hence, the following are the officially supported distributions: Redhat 8/9, Debian 11/12, and Ubuntu 20.04/22.04. We also deprecated the omkd daemon and associated Perl framework. So now there is a single interface and a single website. Obviously, this makes for less code. Which means fewer errors. And less work. All in all, I'm very happy with the result.

As well, there is now a per-user option to use a 'compact' GUI. This makes the table rows (and associated buttons) smaller so more information fits on the screen at once. An example screenshot is below.

There is no more worrying about SSL/HTTPS. As it is now just a regular site on Apache and not essentially two separate sites that needed need to talk to each other, so HTTPS "just works".

We now use the PHP Composer dependency package. If you download from Github GitHub you will need to use this and install the dependencies yourself. If you download from FirstWave, we have taken care of that for you.

If you download from Github GitHub you will need to install the OS-level dependencies manually. If you download from FirstWave, the installer script will take care of this for you.
