New features and enhancements in SDL Contenta 5.1
This section lists features and enhancements introduced in SDL Contenta 5.1.
- SDL Content Web Services API
As the next step in evolving the Content API using current industry standards, SDL Contenta now comes with a RESTful Web Services API, which includes additional methods such as Find object, Tool List and Send Email. You can use this API to develop custom tools for your implementation and to integrate SDL Contenta with enterprise applications. - SDL Contenta Explorer and SDL Content Web user interface enhancements
The Contenta user interfaces can now display property fields in the list view, alternative names for objects in the tree view, and alphabetically sorted items in both. For each of these changes, refer to the SDL Contenta Administration User Guide for more information. - Alternative encryption support for MS Windows and Oracle implementations that do not use LDAP or Active Directory
SDL encourages customers to implement Contenta with Active Directory or LDAP to leverage the security inherent in those authentication frameworks. To accommodate customers who are unable to implement Contenta with these services, this version release of Contenta can be configured to use an alternate AES 128 compliant Oracle encryption mechanism for Contenta user and database passwords. - Optional Oracle database utilities and deprecation notice
SDL Contenta database utilities have changed to comply with Oracle's newexpdp/impdpfunctionality. Old functionality remains supported for backward compatibility.
