FlowSphera 1.12.0 release notes

Sign-in through Active Directory / LDAP (Settings → Users → Sign-in through the directory). The sign-in page then asks how to sign in — «Local account» or your directory (e.g. «CORP») — and remembers the choice; a local admin and the directory's admin are two different accounts. The role comes from the user's groups at every sign-in (administrator groups → Administrator, viewer groups → Viewer, optionally anyone else as a viewer; nested groups count in Active Directory); people in no group are told why they cannot get in. LDAPS or STARTTLS with certificate checking (paste your CA), the service account's password kept on the server only, sign-in by name or by UPN, directory sessions of 12 hours, wrong passwords counted with the failed logins. Check shows what FlowTrack finds for a user — DN, groups, the resulting role, whether the password is right — before you switch it on. At least one local administrator always remains: the way in when the directory is unreachable.

Interface load (Through device → Interface load): for each interface of the device, the peak, the 95th percentile and the average in and out over the period — in Mbit/s and as a share of its capacity — with the busiest 5 minutes as a small chart; the fullest first. The capacity is the port speed (SNMP or sFlow) unless you set your own in Settings → Devices → Interfaces, separately in and out (an ISP contract of 300 / 50 on a 1 Gbit/s port); virtual interfaces (VLANs, tunnels, Wi-Fi) get a share once you give them one.

Fixed: a refused mail login showed as a broken connection. With a wrong password (or Gmail's usual password instead of an app password) the mail test said the server closed the connection and to check the encryption and the port: Python tried a second login method after the refusal and Gmail drops the line after the first. FlowTrack now makes one attempt and says the login or the password was not accepted — for Gmail with how to create an app password, for Microsoft 365 with the SMTP AUTH hint.

New event "Link near capacity": an interface above 85 % of its capacity (adjustable) in every 5 minutes of 15 minutes (adjustable), in or out — in the bell and on every notification channel.
