> Hi all,
>
> I'm happy to announce the release of Hawkular Inventory 0.16.0.Final.
>
> The most important change in this release is the alignment of authorization
> and tenant selection with the rest of the Hawkular components.
>
> >From now on, Inventory no longer depends on Keycloak for authentication
> and
> instead is using JAAS. Any authenticated user is allowed to do anything by
> default.
>
> The tenant is no longer deduced from the authenticated user but is selected
> using the Hawkular-Tenant header (which is therefore required in every
> request
> to inventory).
>
> This moves inventory more into a role of a "backend service" which
> delegates
> more granular authentication and authorization to the application layer
> above
> inventory.
>
> That said, the authorization logic has been factored out and made pluggable
> and a mechanism to check per-entity CRUD privileges is still in place. We
> just
> swapped the default implementation for a "permissive" one and changed the
> way
> we figure out the tenant.
>
> Apart from this big change, the following enhancements and fixes have been
> included in the release:
>
> * all internal properties, stored as "__foo" in the backend, are now
> available
> for filtering as "foo".
> * SwitchElementType filter has been "promoted" to the API so that it is
> usable
> by the API clients.
> * Hawkular Commons dependency has been updated to 0.7.2.Final
>
> In 0.17.0.Final we will introduce a new REST API and will deprecate the
> current one (most probably by moving it to /hawkular/inventory/deprecated).
> This work is well underway but unfortunately didn't make it for
> 0.16.0.Final.
>
> Huge thanks go out to Peter Palaga who did all the security related
> changes in
> this release and Jirka Kremser who provided the generic mapping of internal
> properties.
