SFTPPlus Release 5.26.1

Version 5.26.1 is available as a minor update to the SFTPPlus 5 series. This is also a bugfix release for 5.26.0, with fixes to the node synchronization audit events and SSH key change detection.

Enhanced Cloud Identity Integration

Organizations using Entra ID, Google Identity, Okta OIDC, Azure Storage, Exchange Online, or SharePoint Online can now configure additional trusted certificate authorities. This gives administrators greater flexibility in managing security policies across hybrid cloud environments.

More Granular Date and Time Control

Event handlers now benefit from expanded date and time placeholder options, allowing developers to extract individual components like year, month, day, hour, minute, and second. This simplifies automation workflows that require precise temporal data.

Improved Operational Management

This release includes several quality-of-life improvements for administrators. Vault items now display their usage locations directly in Web Manager, making it easier to track dependencies. The delete action intelligently remains disabled with helpful tooltips when items are still in use, preventing accidental data loss.

The Windows installer has been optimized to properly clean up legacy files from previous installations, ensuring smooth upgrades from version 4 to version 5 without runtime conflicts.

Better Cluster Reliability

Cluster deployments benefit from improved synchronization, now including vault items. Node synchronization resources have been hardened to ensure they always start and continuously retry connections to the controller, enhancing reliability in distributed setups.
