The Cenda Management Portal V1 isn’t just a new feature – it’s a smarter way to manage your digital identity ecosystem.

 

Terraform Integration for Cenda Infrastructure

Refactoring to Terraform. This enhancement takes infrastructure management to the next level, enabling a modular, repeatable, and cloud-agnostic approach.

What Does This Mean for You?
Terraform allows Cenda to embrace Infrastructure as Code (IaC), streamlining how infrastructure is configured, deployed, and maintained across environments. By shifting to a more consistent, automated system, we’ve made managing infrastructure more reliable and scalable than ever.

Key Upgrades:

  • Modular Infrastructure: Standardised and repeatable configurations ensure consistent deployments across multiple environments.
  • Cloud-Agnostic Flexibility: Interoperability means seamless use across cloud platforms, providing freedom and adaptability for future needs.
  • Enhanced Security: Consistent security policies reduce risks and ensure compliance with data regulations.

Why It Matters:

  • Rapid Rollouts & Updates: With version-controlled changes, deploying updates or scaling services is faster and more efficient.
  • Improved Monitoring: Key components like KeyVault, CosmosDB, and monitoring services are now managed with uniform configurations, ensuring better oversight and quicker troubleshooting.
  • Cost Optimisation: Resource allocation is fine-tuned for efficiency thanks to better cost predictions, helping organisations manage budgets while meeting operational demands.
  • Future-Ready Scalability: As demands grow, infrastructure can evolve seamlessly, ensuring smooth operations across the board.

 

External-Based Issuance and Verification Flow in Cenda

We’re putting the power in your hands with a brand-new feature that lets you fully control the credential issuance and verification experience – no more reliance on Cenda QR codes or deeplink interfaces, trigger credential issuance how you see fit!

What’s New?

  • Tailored Credential Offers: Now, you can generate a JWT token with a deeplink URI via OpenID Connect code flow, giving you the flexibility to issue credentials through your own communication channels.
  • Real-Time Updates: Webhook notifications keep you in the loop with key events-from initiation to successful issuance or failure-ensuring everything runs smoothly.

Why This Matters:

  • Streamlined Distribution: Send credentials via email, internal messaging, or other preferred methods, perfectly aligning with your organisation’s workflows.
  • Enhanced Security: By eliminating on-screen QR codes or public deeplinks, this feature reduces vulnerabilities, bolstering data privacy and compliance.
  • Proactive Issue Management: Real-time updates mean administrators can address incomplete requests or errors swiftly, keeping operations seamless.
  • Optimised Mobility: Staff can securely access credentials wherever they are, ensuring uninterrupted service and continuity across sites.
