Release Notes
14.1 Release Notes
Release Summary
This release is based on KeyCloak integration with Recording Solution. The Keycloak integration with Cisco Finesse has been established to authenticate Cisco user credentials via KeyCloak and the availability of VRS Web Application within Finesse as a gadget. The KeyCloak will be available on HTTPS. The Agent Information synchronization with the Calls is also included in this release.
What's New
| New Features | Description |
|---|---|
| Auto-login to VRS Finesse gadget | A Cisco contact centre agent can now access VRS as a Finesse gadget after login into Finesse. It will automatically be created on Keycloak. |
| VRS web app login with Cisco credentials | Now you can log in directly to the VRS Web Application using your Cisco agent credentials. On the login screen, there's a Checkbox named CC User. This will allow the user to Login into VRS App as a Finesse User. |
| Limited Agent Permission | The Agent user can only search and play his own recorded calls only. |
| Admin Permissions | The VRS admin user can log in directly in the Web App or via the VRS Finesse gadget and it can search and play all agent recordings. |
| Keycloak Availability on HTTPS | Now we can access Keycloak Application using HTTPS instead of HTTP. |
| Agent Info sync with Calls | Now the details of the Agent (Agent ID and Name) will be displayed on VRS UI. Previously, we were using Agent's Extension for Agent ID. Only UCCX is supported in this release. |
Limitations
| Summary | Description |
|---|---|
| Logout Button at VRS Gadget | There are two Logout buttons, one is available at VRS Gadget and another one is at Finesse Application. So the user can see the VRS Login screen and can log in with another user inside the same finesse agent. |
| KeyCloak | A user cannot log in VRS App if it has no role assigned in KeyCloak |
| CC User Name | Do not change the User's first name or last name from Keycloak as they will be changed from CUCM |
