Features ✨​

RBAC support for Conduktor SQL​

In a previous release, we introduced Conduktor SQL. It was restricted to Admins because it did not apply any permission model.

This new update brings full RBAC support on Conduktor SQL:

  • Users & Groups can only see and query the tables for which they have an associated Topic permission in Console
  • Data masking policies are applied (with limitations)

You can now bring SQL to all users within your organization.

For more detailed information, check out the SQL security section.

Add support for multi-hosts database configuration​

You can now setup Console's backing database for high availability(HA). If you have a PostgreSQL HA setup with multiple hosts, you can now configure a Console to JDBC connection to the database using a list of hosts.

CDK_DATABASE_URL: jdbc:postgresql://user:password@host1:5432,host2:5433/console_database
CDK_KAFKASQL_DATABASE_URL: jdbc:postgresql://user:password@host1:5432,host2:5433/kafka_sql_database

For more information, check out the Multi-host configuration section in the Database configuration documentation.

Delegating authentication to an identity provider​

Console can now be configured to accept a JWT token from an external identity provider.
It allows you to directly use your identity provider for managing access to Console.
A common use case of this feature is to delegate authentication to your API gateway.

For the full configuration details, check out the documentation.
