The following new features and improvements were added to MOVEit Automation 2022.0.4.

OAuth Authentication for POP3 Connections

MOVEit Automation 2022.0.4 users can utilize OAuth as a form of authentication for POP3 hosts. This ensures a reliable connection to POP3 hosts using Microsoft Office 365 or Custom authentication.

Microsoft Office 365 users should select Microsoft Office 365 while other email providers using OAuth authentication with Client Credentials Flow support should select Custom.

The Microsoft Office 365 tenant administrator must register and setup an OAuth application in O365. For more information see, Add client credentials grant flow to authenticate IMAP and POP connections.

The following new features and improvements were added to MOVEit Automation 2022.

Improved task log file retention options

MOVEit Automation 2022 provides users with the functionality to define how many task logs are saved for each task before they begin to rollover. The user can set this number at the system level and on a task-by-task basis, if required.

For more information about global settings for task log file retention, see System Log Settings.
For more information about changing the task file retention for a specific task, see Task Settings - Advanced Info.

Export reports

MOVEit Automation 2022 provides Web Admin users with the functionality to export Task Run, File Activity, and Audit reports in extensible markup language (XML) or comma-separated values (CSV) format. For more information, see Reports.

Updated REST resources

The following Reports API was updated in MOVEit Automation 2022 to include the export report functionality.

Users can use the Reports API to export a Task Run, File Activity, or Audit csv or xml report.
  • Syntax: POST /api/v1/reports/export
  • Description: This call exports a report based on the input values and the current user's permissions.

Interactive documentation for the REST API is available at the following URL: https://your-webadmin-server/swagger-ui/

Where your-webadmin-server is the hostname or IP address of the MOVEit Automation Web Admin. For more information, see REST API.

Improved configuration file encryption

The MOVEit Automation configuration file is encrypted with a server-specific key. This encryption improves the security of the configuration file, making it more difficult for a third-party to utilize the file. For information about any backup and disaster recovery infrastructure implications of this change, see the Backup documentation.

Web Administrator SSL/TLS change

The Web Administrator Server's Tomcat configuration was updated to improve security. TLS 1.2 is the only TLS version supported by default. In addition, the server's cipher order is enforced rather than a client requested order.

SHA2 host key algorithm support

MOVEit Automation SFTP Host now supports RSA-SHA-2 256 and RSA SHA-2 512 host key algorithms.

SQL Server Always On compatibility

You can use SQL Server Always On availability groups for high-availability and disaster recovery of your MOVEit database. For more information, see the SQL Always On KB article on the Progress Community site.

Windows Server 2022 support

MOVEit Automation supports deployment to the Windows Server 2022 operating system.
