# NetBox v2.8
|
|
|
|
## v2.8.0 (FUTURE)
|
|
|
|
### New Features
|
|
|
|
#### Remote Authentication Support ([#2328](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/2328))
|
|
|
|
Several new configuration parameters provide support for authenticating an incoming request based on the value of a specific HTTP header. This can be leveraged to employ remote authentication via an nginx or Apache plugin, directing NetBox to create and configure a local user account as needed. The configuration parameters are:
|
|
|
|
* `REMOTE_AUTH_ENABLED` - Enables remote authentication (disabled by default)
|
|
* `REMOTE_AUTH_HEADER` - The name of the HTTP header which conveys the username
|
|
* `REMOTE_AUTH_AUTO_CREATE_USER` - Enables the automatic creation of new users (disabled by default)
|
|
* `REMOTE_AUTH_DEFAULT_GROUPS` - A list of groups to assign newly created users
|
|
* `REMOTE_AUTH_DEFAULT_PERMISSIONS` - A list of permissions to assign newly created users
|
|
|
|
If further customization of remote authentication is desired (for instance, if you want to pass group/permission information via HTTP headers as well), NetBox allows you to inject a custom [Django authentication backend](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/topics/auth/customizing/) to retain full control over the authentication and configuration of remote users.
|
|
|
|
### Enhancements
|
|
|
|
* [#4195](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/4195) - Enabled application logging (see [logging configuration](../configuration/optional-settings.md#logging))
|
|
|
|
### API Changes
|
|
|
|
* dcim.Rack: The `/api/dcim/racks/<pk>/units/` endpoint has been replaced with `/api/dcim/racks/<pk>/elevation/`.
|
|
* The `id__in` filter has been removed. Use the format `?id=1&id=2` instead. ([#4313](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/4313))
|
|
|
|
### Other Changes

* [#4081](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/4081) - The `family` field has been removed from the Aggregate, Prefix, and IPAddress models
