Hotline and support: Ends with the release of version 12.0.

Bug fixes:

Ends with the release of version 12.0.

Type of lifecycle end: NTLM will no longer be supported.
Lifecycle ends with release: enaio® version 12.0
Note:

All versions of NTLM, including LANMAN, NTLMv1 and NTLMv2, are no longer under active functional development by Microsoft® and are obsolete. The use of NTLM will also work in the next version of Windows Server and in the next annual release of Windows. Calls to NTLM should be replaced by calls to Negotiate, which attempts to authenticate with Kerberos and only falls back to NTLM if necessary.

Further information can be found on the Microsoft® page: Resources for deprecated features

NTLMv1 has already been removed from Windows 11, version 24H2 and Windows Server 2025.

Upgrade recommendation:

Switch to Kerberos; NTLMv1 is blocked and NTLMv2 is still accepted for backward compatibility.
Hotline and support: Ends with the release of version 13 at the latest.

Bug fixes:

Ends with the release of version 12.0.
Effects in setup: The resources are removed from the setup with version 13.

The 'USERS' service previously used for user administration will be officially discontinued with the introduction of enaio® version 12.0 and will no longer be developed further. Instead, the new 'SYSTEM' service should be used in the future, which provides the corresponding functions for managing and querying user and group information.

Upgrade recommendation:

Use of the 'SYSTEM' service starting with enaio® version 12.0.
Hotline and support: Ends with the release of version 12.0.

Bug fixes:

Ends with the release of version 12.0.
Effects in setup: The 'USERS' service is removed from the setup.
Notes on functionality after lifecycle end: Requests to the previous routes of the 'USERS' service are automatically forwarded to the new 'SYSTEM' service for compatibility reasons. Nevertheless, it is recommended that existing integrations are promptly converted to the new endpoints of the 'SYSTEM' service in order to ensure long-term compatibility and maintainability.
Type of lifecycle end: Will no longer be delivered.
Lifecycle ends with release: enaio® version 12.0

Hotline and support: Ends with the release of version 12.0.

Bug fixes:

Ends with the release of version 12.0.
