Updates

March 2019

Version 3.00
New Features
  • Includes Powertech Antivirus.

  • Insite Integration Services - HelpSystems Insite 3.0 introduces a number of changes that improve data flow and security within and outside of Insite. Insite Integration Services accomplishing this by providing out of the box secure communication channels using TLS certificates for the following products:

    • HelpSystems Insite services
    • Powertech Antivirus

    In addition, important usability changes in Insite introduced with Insite Integration Services:

    • Multiple System installation - Installation has been updated and improved to allow you to install Insite on two separate servers if desired. Because of the expanded footprint of Insite with the addition of Insite Integration Services, installing on separate servers will improve performance and allow for scalability in an enterprise level environment.
    • System Requirements - The minimum hardware requirements have been changed to the following:
      • For Insite 3.00 NOT using Powertech Antivirus (PTAV):
        • 8 GB RAM
        • 10 GB free space
        • 4 CPU
      • For Insite 3.00 using PTAV with up to 500 PTAV connections:
        • 16 GB RAM
        • 50 GB free space
        • 4 CPU
      • For Insite 3.00 using PTAV with up to 1000 PTAV connections:
        • 16 GB RAM
        • 50 GB free space
        • 8 CPU
        • System is dedicated to Insite (not shared with other server apps)
    • Product Instances - The Products page lists all products that are connected to your installation of HelpSystems Insite. The list is made up of two types of objects: legacy Product Connections, which you can also view and edit on the Products page, and Product Instances, which are instances of Insite's new and more streamlined way to connect and communicate with an installed product. You cannot add a Product Instance, as they are added upon installation of compatible products, but you can view and edit properties and remove them. Be aware that within the Product Instance list you can add, edit, and remove legacy Product Connections as well.

    • Integration Service Administration - The Integration Service Administration page is only accessible to a user with Integration Service administrative permissions. It allows you to copy the API key, enable/disable the API key, and Regenerate the API key needed for TLS authentication.

      • INSITELIB inherits permissions from RBTUSER and PTUSER.
    • NOTE: For Powertech Network Security users, in order to have *USER on the profile connection and use Powertech products, the profile with the connection MUST be added to the PTADMIN authorization list.
