Collaborator Release Notifications

Welcome to Collaborator v9.5.0!

Collaborator 9.5 is the latest release from SmartBear Software’s dev collaboration team.  This new version introduces enhanced security for our customers and easier trial experiences.   

Security Improvements

• SSO: Collaborator’s initial offering for Single Sign On adds support for jasig CAS and other SSO implementations that support Apache Tomcat 8. With SSO being the single source of authentication, users can access all web applications including Collaborator without having to log in to each one separately.  In addition to convenience, having a single end point for authentication allows for increased security and a smaller attack surface for things like phishing attacks against your organization.  Users logging into Collaborator can feel confident that they are providing their credentials to a trusted source.

• General: Collaborator 9.5 includes many security fixes and patches to ensure that Collaborator is using the most secure and stable versions of web components available.

Trial Experience

• Hosted trial option: You can now try Collaborator for 14 days in the cloud. If you decide to move forward, the data can be easily transferred into a production environment.

• Improved installer: The Collaborator server installer has been improved to make the install process easier than ever before. In less than 5 minutes, Collaborator can be up and running with its basic configuration.
