Overview

We now have Open-AudIT Community / Professional / Server. Community is as always, free and open source. Professional is a new product. It has most of the Enterprise features. Most commercial users will migrate to this product. Enterprise has some very specific Enterprise features. Combining Roles and LDAP / Active Directory authorization not being the least of them. Baselines and Files are also Enterprise specific.

Licensing Change

Please note that the licensing system has been updated, and existing licenses will not work for Open-AudIT Professional & Enterprise v2. You will have to obtain an updated license for this version of Open-AudIT Professional & Enterprise. You can check your licenses by visiting the My Licenses page; If unsure about your options, please email contact@opmantek.com.

Tasks Change

As we now have new reports and a collection called discoveries, any tasks that exist from pre v2 will need to be edited and associated with a new discovery (which needs to be created) or the correct report.

Groups Deprecated

Open-AudIT v2 has deprecated Groups as a primary method of access control.  It is now Roles based. A user has Roles. Those Roles can perform various actions. The User also has access to a list of Orgs. They can perform the roles actions on items that belong to the Org(s) they have access to.

Groups Deprecated

 Groups as the primary source of authorisation have been deprecated. A user no longer has a permission on a group. A user has a role which works in combination with an Org (see below).

...

Because we now have a discoveries endpoint and because the entire objective of Open-AudIT is to find out "What's on your network?", Active Directory discovery has changed. Now when you configure an Active Directory discovery, Open-AudIT will reach out to the Domain Controller you specify and ask for a list of subnets in Active Directory. It will then create a discoveries item for each subnet and run them. This way you'll find every device including printers, switches, routers and everything else - not just Windows PCs.

New GUI

Open-AudIT Community now has completed the transition to a Bootstrap themed GUI. It now more closely fits with the Professional / Enterprise GUI.

API

The JSON restful API is complete. For how to use this, see the JSON API website. We have tried to mirror this specification as closely as possible. See the collections page for what is available.
