v7.6

Knocknoc 7.6

Knocknoc 7.6 continues the theme of user-experience improvements, this time for end users. But don't be fooled, there's other goodies in here for you.

Don't miss the Palo Alto enhancements - we now leverage the powerful Palo Alto User-ID feature you know and love, on both Active and Passive+ Knocknoc integration modes. We've added native Cisco Firepower support along with other improvements.

✨ New User Experience (Feedback please!)

• New end-user UI
  Users now land on a fresh interface that’s faster, friendlier, and customizable. Favoriting, grouping, and recently-used Knocs make life easier.

  • Default for new installs

  • Opt-in via Admin Settings for existing installs - allowing you to roll out a visual login change in a safe and communicated way...

  • Designed to make regular access a breeze with automatic recent items.

• Knoc Images + Grouping
  Admins can now group Knocs and assign custom logos, helping users visually differentiate between environments or access types.

• Light Mode Support
  We were dark mode only, but customer feedback was heard! A clean light-mode UI is now available, with automatic system-preference detection or manual override. Pro tip: Admins should upload a light-friendly company logo for best results.

🔐 Power to the Admins

• Shared Agent Registration Key
  Perfect for IaC and automation pipelines, agents can now be registered using a shared API key (instead of per-agent tokens).
• Direct User Assignment
  You can now assign Knocs directly to users - no groups needed.

• Audit Log Enhancements
  More detail, better visibility. Admins now get deeper error insights and cleaner event histories.

• Password Policy Updates
  Stronger password complexity visual feedback is now shown for local (non-SAML) users.

🔥 Palo Alto Enhancements

• User-ID Integration
  The User-ID data is now passed in Passive+ and Active modes - gaining all the benefits those bring within the Palo Alto ecosystem.

• Easier PanOS API Integration
  Our Knocker helper tool now makes API key creation for PanOS dramatically simpler.

⚙️ Knocs and Integrations

• Cisco Firepower Support
  Yep, we’ve added it.

• Integration Telemetry
  New response-time visibility for your integrations - track it all from the logs.

🛠 Bug fixes

• Click to Revoke: All Knoc's/ACL types can now be revoked.
  
• Server logs: Server log redactions were overly zealous and obfuscated correct log entries.
• Various: Various small bug fixes, this is worth the upgrade!

💬 Heads Up: The new User UI is off by default for existing customers. Want to try it out? Toggle it on in Admin Settings and see the difference for yourself.
