Tirez parti de l’authentification unique dans la gestion des rapports

Août 16, 2024
Telerik Report Server 2024 Q3 prend désormais en charge l’authentification Microsoft Entra ID, offrant une fonctionnalité d’authentification unique pour .NET.

Telerik Report Server is a comprehensive and flexible end-to-end solution for managing reports. Built with the Telerik Reporting library, it is a server-based Windows web application that provides centralized storage, organization, and previewing of reports, along with features for scheduling, delivery, and user management. Report Server can act as a standalone solution or be integrated within an application, allowing developers to create, manage, and distribute reports across multiple platforms including Blazor, Angular and Windows Forms.

The Telerik Report Server 2024 Q3 update (10.2.24.806) adds support for Microsoft Entra ID as an authentication method in .NET environments. Entra ID, formerly known as Azure Active Directory, is an identity and access management solution that can now be configured as a part of the Report Server for .NET authentication methods. This integration enables single sign-on (SSO) authentication, which eliminates the need for separate credentials and improves the user experience, whilst ensuring that access to report management is tightly controlled and aligns with the broader enterprise security policies.
