MySource Matrix Developer Newsletter Issue 42
Friday 23rd September 2005
covers versions 3.4.6 stable, 3.6.0 stable, 3.7.0 development
News
Locked Account Message Removed
When entering the password for a user account incorrectly 3 times, a message was displayed to the user letting them know that the account has been locked. If someone was looking for a valid user account, this message would indicate to them that the account was valid. This was a potential security issue that could have caused an user enumeration issue. When an account is locked, the user no longer receives this message. Instead, the standard "User Not Found" message is displayed. The fact that the account was locked is still recorded in the system log file.
New Developer Starting
A new MySource Matrix developer joins the team on Monday. Elden McDonald will be paired with Andrei. Please make him feel welcome.
New Features
Listing Engine Keyword For Link Value
Added to: 3.7.0 development
A new keyword has been added to the listing engine to expose the value of the link between a listed asset and its group parent. If you have two groups set up, use "" for the first group and "" for the second group. This keyword is only available when grouping by parent asset.
Keywords In Standard Pages

Standard pages can now include keywords for the page asset. All keywords normally available for standard asset fields, attributes and metadata values are available.
