Program

Discovery Studio 2022

Operating System

All supported operating systems

Background

The following new security-related changes have been implemented in Discovery Studio/Pipeline Pilot 2022:

• As of the 2022 release, the Pipeline Pilot Administration Portal now includes a Security Configuration page that includes settings that affect the level of security for your server. To learn more about how to protect your server see the Pipeline Pilot Administration and Security > Security Configuration sections of the Pipeline Pilot Help.  This can be accessed from the Help Center (Administrators) link found on the Server Home Page.
• There is no longer a default password for the Pipeline Pilot scitegicadmin administrator account. You will be prompted to provide a password at the end of the installation.
• The "Any User Name" authentication scheme is no longer supported in DiscoveryStudio/Pipeline Pilot 2022.  You must configure authentication using the Security > Authentication page in the Pipeline Pilot Administration Portal.
• The Pipeline Pilot administrator can now control the properties of files that can be uploaded to the server including the maximum file size (100MB by default), the maximum file name length (80 characters by default), and overrides to the list of blocked file extensions.
