Icinga Web 2 Version 2.5.0
What's New in Version 2.5.0
You can find issues and features related to this release on our Roadmap.
Raised PHP Version Dependency
Icinga Web 2 now requires at least PHP 5.6.
UI Changes
The style of the login screen and menu have been changed. Also, the menu of Icinga Web 2 is now collapsible. Browser tabs will not auto-refresh if they are inactive. Users are now allowed to change the default pagination limit via their preferences.
Domain-aware Authentication for Active Directory and LDAP Backends
If there are multiple AD/LDAP authentication backends with distinct domains, you are now able to make Icinga Web 2 aware of the domains. This can be done by configuring each AD/LDAP backend's domain. You can also use the GUI for this purpose. Please read our documentation for more information about this feature.
