10.6.0.0

The following information is a summary of the new features in 10.6.0.0. The 10.6.0.0 release replaces the 10.5.4 CD release.
Added support for OpenTelemetry integration
On the IBM DataPower Gateway, you can configure integration points for OpenTelemetry. This support is primarily for API Connect integration. For more information, see OpenTelemetry integration.
Added support for OIDC authentication to RBM
When you configure RBM settings, you can define OIDC as the authentication method. This authentication method securely connects to an OIDC identity endpoint to retrieve public keys for OIDC validation. For more information, see Defining RBM for OIDC authentication.
Enhanced GitOps integration
  • In the default domain, you can define GitOps variables. GitOps variables are the vector of global name-value pairs for use in GitOps templates. For more information, see Managing GitOps variables for GitOps templates.
  • While you are creating a GitOps template entry, you can test what the template entry does and whether it works as expected. For more information, see Managing GitOps templates.
  • When you use GitOps, you can view the status for GitOps and GitOps template operations. These status providers provide the necessary details to help in troubleshooting. For more information, see Viewing status for GitOps and GitOps template operations.
  • Added the global gitops-remove-template command to trigger the removal of a template from the Git repository that is configured in the GitOps object. For more information, see gitops-remove-template.
Added support to disable TLS renegotiation completely
When you configure a TLS profile, you can define the profile to disable TLS renegotiation completely. For more information, see TLS connections.
Added support to the API gateway to configure an LDAP connection pool and flush its cache
When you configure an API gateway, you can assign an LDAP connection pool to connect to the LDAP server. Each API gateway maintains a cache for its LDAP connection pool. For operational reasons, you might need to clear the data in the LDAP cache. For more information, see Configuring an API gateway.
Added support for more JSONata functions for use by assembly actions
When you use JSONata in assembly functions, you can now use the $now() functions from the JSONata Date/Time function library.
Added action and party that last modified an application or client key to API subscriber status.
When you view information about API subscribers, the data includes the action and party that last modified the application or client key. For more information, see Viewing shared storage for API subscribers.
