ADAL and MSAL authentication product notification
Table of contents
On 30 June 2023, Microsoft deprecated an authentication library called Active Directory Authentication Library (ADAL), which is used by some of our products. At that time, Microsoft recommended migrating authentication to Microsoft Authentication Library (MSAL), noting that services using ADAL would continue to function.
Microsoft will soon disable ADAL authentication entirely, meaning only MSAL will be supported going forward.
How does this affect our software?
The software products below are affected by this authentication library change:
- Nutrient Document Searchability (formerly Aquaforest Searchlight)
- Nutrient Document Automation Server (formerly Autobahn DX)
- Nutrient Document Content Extraction (formerly Aquaforest Kingfisher)
- Nutrient Document Searchability Tagger (formerly Aquaforest Tagger)
These products will need to be updated to the latest version from our website to continue functioning normally.
What do I need to do?
If you’re using the products above and have either an active subscription or legacy Service & Maintenance Cover (SMC), you can download and install the latest version for free. These are found by going to the respective product pages, clicking the TRY FOR FREE buttons, and selecting the relevant product. Please note that updates for Tagger and Content Extraction aren’t yet available but will be released soon.
If you don’t have an active subscription or SMC, please contact our Sales team for assistance with upgrading.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to our Support team, and a member of the team will get back to you as soon as possible.
