Queries for user and groups in the ADFS and Identity Server versions of Loome Publish will now apply RFC4515 escaping mechanisms for enhanced security.

This will allow you to use accounts that require Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to sync content. The default option for stale record handling has been changed to ‘None’ for all source systems. In this scenario, when an asset is removed from the source system, it will remain in Loome Publish until you remove it.

You can enable this by changing the EnableSwagger setting in the web.config from False to True. You can find more helpful API guides on our postman collection. We are always looking to improve this collection based upon feedback.
