What's New in this Release

Captive Runtime

Social Authentication using Facebook: Cisco Spaces now supports the removal of publicly available user data such as the first name, last name, gender, and email ID that is stored in the Cisco Spaces backend during the authentication process.

To enable removal of publicly available user data from Cisco Spaces, configure the Data Deletion Callback URL for that app in your Facebook Developer account. The format for the Data Deletion Callback URL is https://<live_domain>/p/<customerName>/fb_revoke. For example, https://splash.dnaspaces.io/p/ciscotest/fb_revoke. For the detailed procedure, see the Working with the Captive Portal App chapter in the Cisco Spaces Configuration Guide.

To remove user data from Cisco Spaces, the app user must do the following on their Facebook profile settings page:

  1. Remove the signed-in app by clicking Settings & Privacy > Settings > Apps and Websites > Active.

  2. Send a data delete request by clicking Settings & Privacy > Settings > Apps and Websites > Removed.

Dashboard

Role-based access control is introduced for the following apps in the Cisco Spaces Dashboard:

  • Engagements

  • Location Personas

  • OpenRoaming

By default, Cisco Spaces Dashboard administrators have access to these apps. Using the User Management option for each of these apps, the Dashboard administrators can manage user access to the individual apps.

What's Changed in this Release

Map service

The timezone of a location is now obtained from the corresponding latitude and longitude values present in the source map file. This timezone value is saved to the Cisco Spaces back-end during map import.

The timezone is shown on the Location Info page corresponding to that location, under Location Hierarchy. The location's address, based on the information present in the imported source map file, is also displayed on the Location Info page.
