Breaking changes
For a full list of breaking changes, see all issues/PR:s prefixed with Breaking change: above. Most of them should go unnoticed, but a few might have bigger impact.
Upgrade to .NET 6
We now require .NET 6 for the UI parts - so this requires you to upgrade your website that uses Active Login.
Support BankID animated QR code in UI
When implementing the animated QR code, we have had to update the client side script in LoginScript.cshtml. Look at the Git history for this file if you want to see the exact changes. This is only a breaking change if you have overridden this file with your own imlpementation.
Use DefaultAzureCredentials when accessing KeyVault
If using Azure KeyVault for your certificate, we have made chamges to how you authenticate/access that. See the documention for how it should be configured now.
Drop support for GrandID
When we created Active Login we added support for BankID directly as well as through Svensk E-identitet (GrandID). At the time we had cases where we were using both so it was natural to support them both. As time has gone by we see that basically, all new cases for us use the "native" BankID provider so that's where we have focused our efforts in Active Login.
We have reached the point where it is not possible for us to support the GrandId packages anymore as part of this open-source project. In the end, we have just so much time that we want to spend where we think it benefits the most users, and the download counts on NuGet tell this is the native BankID parts.
See more details in this announcement.
Issue correct exp claim
We previously issued an incorrect exp claim. This is now issued correctly, but might be a breaking change for you.
Remove built in support for Birthdate and Gender claim
The Birthdate and Gender claim are not issued by the library, but we have added docs on how to issue them yourself.
