Resolved Issues
| Key | Summary | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| VS-297 | Issue supporting TLS/SSL connection to MongoDB (w/ Server Validation) | An issue existed in which the Web Portal could not connect to MongoDB when the Mongo server enforces TLS/SSL. The issue was resolved by introducing a new configuration parameter (VERA_WEB_MONGO_ARGS) that can be used to specify query string arguments that will be appended to the MongoDB connection string. More info: Supported Environment Variables |
| VS-461 | Tx3 VERA Record Detail Report formatting issues | The formatting of the Record Detail report was improved by fixing the top and left margins, and by adjusting font sizes. The report was also fixed to ensure that task rejections were not displayed in the signatures list. |
| VS-628 | Step execution statuses are not displayed in VERA Web Portal | Fixed an issue where the Step Status was not being displayed for qTest Run Steps. |
| VS-801 | Web Portal requires a httpsCertFile parameter even if https is not being used | Fixed an issue where the Web Portal would crash on startup when the httpsCert configuration parameter was missing. The parameter (or its environmental variable equivalent) is still required for HTTPS traffic. |
| VS-817 | SAML Login doesn't seem to check that the user name returned from the IdP matches the entered user name | Fixed an issue where an unexpected user could be logged into the Web Portal if an active IdP session existed. Now the user will be informed that the IdP session does not match the expected user. |
| VS-886 | Chromium browsers do not support Single Sign-on signatures | Due to a Chromium change, an issue was addressed where site cookies were not always respected when using SSO. Due to these changes, HTTPS is now required if using SSO. Also, Web Portal configuration parameters have been added to force HTTPS over HTTP traffic and to force the use of secure cookies (again, requiring the use of HTTPS). |
| VS-951 | jQuery and other libraries fail to load in China | Fixed an issue where some libraries would not load properly in certain locations. All referenced libraries were made available locally so that we don't need to rely on CDNs. |
| VS-990 | Admin Portal shows a password reset option for idP users | Fixed an issue where the Reset Password link was displayed and accessible for users with external authentication. |
| VS-998 | Administrator can't reset a password from User Detail page | Fixed the User Details page so that the Reset Password capability works correctly. |
| VS-1024 | Record Detail Report does not include Status on Test Log Steps | Updated the print view for a record to include the status field on execution log steps. |

Known Issues and Limitations
| Key | Summary | Known Issue Details |
|---|---|---|
| VS-383 | Tester(s) not included in Execution Log in VERA | qTest Tester name is not displayed in VERA web portal. The VERA Record Management Policy can be updated to include the Tester field in VERA. |
| VS-447 | User Administrator role can see Signature Verification Failure Report and Re-verify | A User Administrator can access the Signature Verification reporting section of the Administration Portal. This feature should be limited to System Administrators. |
| VS-455 | SAML users sometimes see an error on log out | Occasionally, a user that is authenticated through an external SAML-based IdP may see an error screen after they logout from the VERA Web Portal, instead of being returned to the login screen. |
| VS-810 | Admin can't remove a project from domain if project name contains regex | A project created with regex characters cannot be removed from a domain once it is added. This also causes issues with displaying tasks in the approval queue for a user |
| VS-855 | Reset Password dialog does not close after an Admin resets a user's password | The Reset Password dialog does not close or provide any confirmation after resetting the password. It must be closed by the 'X' or the 'Cancel' buttons. |
| VS-858 | Import User modal/page does not display a confirmation when a file is uploaded | No confirmation is displayed following the upload of a user import. |
| VS-859 | An Admin cannot blank a user's email address | An administrative user cannot update a user to have no email address. This is due to validation on the submitted changes for a user requiring an email address. |
| VS-929 | IDP error message displayed on login screen when clicking an approval task link | When a user attempts to click an approval route link after a long period of session inactivity, the user may be prompted with "VERA could determine IDP." as an error message on the login screen. |
| VS-962 | Approval Queue user filter uses RegEx can match different users | Due to regular expression matching, a record that has been signed by one user may cause another user's approval queue to exclude the record when it should be available. |
| VS-997 | Cannot save updated user information until switching cursor focus | When updating a user's information from the 'My Profile' or Admin Portal pages, the save button is disabled until clicking outside of the field being edited. |
| VS-1051 | Missing error message during SSO-based approval | No error message is displayed to the user when an error occurs while approving a record using single sign-on authentication. The approval is not applied (as expected), but the record details page simply refreshes without displaying an error message to the user. |
| VS-1065 | A misleading error message is displayed when VERA cannot apply a final approval | VERA will display a misleading error message when it fails to transition a Jira issue in the workflow. The error message displayed to the user will indicate that there is a connectivity problem, even if it's actually a configuration problem. |
| VS-1067 | User management table in admin portal is not sortable | The user management table within the admin section of the VERA Web Portal is displaying the same results when sorting by ascending and descending order. |
| VS-1069 | Changing filter parameters and hitting enter triggers sort instead of new search | For filterable tables, changing the text for a search and using the enter key causes the table to be sorted with the previous search text active. Note: Submitting a search with the enter key is not necessary as tables will automatically execute the search after a user is finished typing. |
| VS-1072 | Filter and Refresh icons disappear when selected but not hovered on for tables | If a user has one of the icons for a table selected and hovers their cursor off of the icon, it will temporarily disappear on the page until the user clicks elsewhere on the page. |
| VS-1095 | Project names are not validated when adding to domain | Admins are able to add a project to a domain that contains RegEx characters. |
| VS-1096 | Approval Queue does not load when user is in domain with project containing special character | When a user belongs to a domain that has a project whose name contains a special character (:, ;, ?), the user's approval queue shows "No Matching Records" |
