mojoPortal 2.9.1

The latest official public release of the mojoPortal Content Management System, mojoPortal 2.9.1, is now available. 

Where to Get It?

Head over to our GitHub Releases Page. Please note that all Commercial Add-Ons have corresponding releases and are required to support this release.

What's New?

.NET Framework 4.8

We've updated mojoPortal to version 4.8 of .NET Framework for the latest security patches and performance updates.

We had considered going to version 4.8.1, but 4.8.1 only includes updates to the Windows UI and Windows Forms frameworks, and ARM64 support.

Since 4.8.1 doesn't offer mojoPortal any advantages and it would remove support for Windows Server 2019, we believe that version 4.8 is the best option for mojo.

OpenID Connect/OAuth

We've updated mojoPortal so that site owners can configure their sites with an OpenID Connect. See our documentation for setup information.

Compatible Identity Access Management providers are:

  • Keycloak (i7MEDIA's current favorite)
  • Microsoft Entra ID - coming soon
  • Auth0 - coming soon
  • Active Directory Federation Services - coming soon
  • ForgeRock Identity Platform - coming soon
  • etc.

This brings all the advantages of OpenID Connect to mojoPortal such as:

  • Single Sign-On across multiple applications
  • Two Factor Authentication
  • Third Party (Social Media) logins
  • and more

This update will remove the obsolete OpenID setup which relied on Janrain Engage. This service was no longer stable and extremely difficult to setup due to broken pages on the third party Janrain website. User accounts created using the old setup will be retained but users will need to request a password reset. The configuration tab under Site Setttings\3rd Party Auth is still available but is no longer used. It will be removed or repurposed in a future release.

SuperFlexi Social Links Solution

We added an option for the Nextdoor: Neighborhood Network social networking service to the Social Links solution.

Better OpenGraph Support

OpenGraph meta elements are now created for every page automatically.

Misc

  • MySQL 8+ is now required for MySQL installations. If you are running an older version you can delete the contents of the 2.9.0.3 mojoportal-core upgrade script to make this version work with it. More changes will be made in future releases so you need to get your database environment upgraded ASAP.
