Changelog

Kong Gateway 3.8.x

• This plugin now supports decoding an empty sequence or set represented in long form length.
• Added WWW-Authenticate headers to all 401 responses.

Kong Gateway 3.7.x

• Fixed an issue where, if the credential was encoded with no username, Kong Gateway threw an error and returned a 500 code.
• Fixed an issue where an exception would be thrown when LDAP search failed.

Kong Gateway 3.6.x

• Added support for consumer group scoping by using the PDK kong.client.authenticate function.
• Fixed some cache-related issues which caused groups_required to return unexpected codes after a non-200 response.

Kong Gateway 3.0.x

• Added the groups_required parameter.
• The deprecated X-Credential-Username header has been removed.
• The character . is now allowed in group attributes.
• The character : is now allowed in the password field.

Kong Gateway 2.8.x

• The ldap_password and bind_dn configuration fields are now marked as referenceable, which means they can be securely stored as secrets in a vault. References must follow a specific format.

Kong Gateway 2.7.x

• Starting with Kong Gateway 2.7.0.0, if keyring encryption is enabled, the config.ldap_password parameter value will be encrypted.

Kong Gateway 2.3.x
