Update information

If you are running 2N® Access Commander version 1.9.1 or older, proceed please to this section for further details.

2N® Access Commander version 3.1 (production April 2024)

2N® Access Commander version 3.1 introduces a more secure method of login (2FA), Dutch Language and other improvement


**IMPORTANT** Due to security reasons this version of Access Commander is not compatible with 2N Intercoms and 2N Access Units running FW 2.37 or older. Access Commander will not manage devices with these FW even with enabled compatibility mode. Please ensure that all devices are running FW 2.38 or newer before upgrading.


New Features:

  • Two Factor Authentication

Two factor authentication is now available for login. When enabled each user requires both password and secondary authentication via an authenticator app such as Google Authenticator in addition to their unique user name. This extra level of security can be optional for all users, mandatory for users with a role (Managers), or mandatory all users and is set by Admin. 2FA works even for installations that are offline (have no internet connection).

  • Dutch Language

Dutch is now included as a language variant in Access Commander's web environment. The online and offline manual also supports machine translated Dutch.

  • Other Improvements

* Access Commander now supports API Keys - access without user authentication opening up further possibilies for integration.
* When setting up Access Commander from the browser for the first time the linux root password is now synchronised with the system admin password if the root password hasn't yet been changed from default.
* Access Unit QR is supported in this version.


Corrections

* Device sensor (door sensor) status is now correctly displayed in the device monitoring page.
* User name for access granted/denied now displayed in the Access Log widget.
* Device configuration can now be accessed from the device list as it was in Access Commander version 2.


Additional notes

**IMPORTANT** - In May 2023 we announced that the old APIv2 will be retired in place of a more advanced APIv3 and gave a transition period of one year where the two versions run side by side. From this release APIv2 will be no longer supported, and will be removed completely from Access Commander 3.2 (Q3 2024). 
If you are using Access Commander with a third-party integration, please ensure that this integration is compatible with APIv3 soon to avoid loss of functionality in future versions.
For more information on Access Commander's API see the documentation in the user manual
- The old user interface is no longer available in this version
- Known issue - In 3.1 it is not possible to manually approve a device firmware on a Basic (free) license. Please ensure all devices meet the firmware requirements listed below. Fix comming in Access Commander 3.2 (August)
- Integration with the Milestone Xprotect plugin is not compatible with 2FA. Do not enable 2FA for the Milestone user login.

2N® Access Commander version 2.7.1 (production November 2023)

2N® Access Commander version 2.7.1 supports new version of firmware, that will be released.

Changelog 2.7.1

2N® Access Commander version 2.7 (beta August 2023, production August 2023)

2N® Access Commander version 2.7 introduces export of user list and possibility to assign credentials to users in bulk.

Changelog 2.7.0

New Features:

  • User list export - Access Commander now allows exporting User list in a form of CSV file with various attributes (e.g. zones and doors that users can enter or groups to which they belong). It is also possible to export a sync file containing users data, edit it and then synchronize again so that the changes in CSV are propagated back to Access Commander. User list exports are especialy useful when the user data stored in Access Commander is supposed to be used by another system or when external auditor without access to Access Commander needs to check the data and possibly make necessary changes.

  • Assigning credentials to users in bulk - It is now possible to assign PIN codes, QR codes and Bluetooth pairing PIN codes to multiple users at once. This significantly reduces the time of new users onboarding. Email template for Bluetooth credentials can newly be edited in the same way as the other email templates so that admins may adapt its content to their company needs and make their users better perceive it. To increase security when a large number of pairing PIN codes is active, the number of PIN code digits has been increased from 6 to 8.

Corrections:

  • Device monitoring upgrade issue fixed.
  • Indoor Touch 2.0 proxy issue fixed.
  • Resolved issue with imports from older Access Commander versions.
  • Devices connectivity issues resolved.

Corrections:

  • Fixed issue with backup creation/restore.

2N® Access Commander version 2.6 (beta May 2023, production May 2023)

2N® Access Commander version 2.6 introduces new API v3.

Changelog 2.6

New features:

  • API v3
  • API received a major overhaul in version 3 (APIv3) for easier integration. Users, devices (and other entities) can now be created with all properties in a single POST request, where APIv2 needed separate requests to add every RFID card, phone number, etc. APIv3 also supports PATCH, so to change a single user property, it is enough just to send that one field via PATCH, instead of having to send the whole object in a PUT request. We will continue to support the current APIv2 until 31.5. 2024.

Changelog 1.16.0

## Please note that the default 2N SMTP server will no longer be available in version 1.17.0. We suggest you ensure your own SMTP server settings are defined now, if you have not already done so, to ensure system and notification messages continue being sent upon update to 1.17.0 later this year ##

New Features:

  • Notification rework¨
    • The notification section has undergone a major rework to offer the admin access to key information at a glance
    • Notifications are easier to set up as several event types may be included in a notification subscription
    • A range of new notification events have been added, including the availability of a new version of 2N® Access Commander, of firmware for connected devices, and notification of blocked keypad modules
    • In many cases, notifications will link to the relevant section in 2N® Access Commander to allow the admin to quickly take any necessary actions
  • Real-time feedback
    • By introducing support of WebSocket and SignalR technologies, 2N® Access Commander now offers real-time updates to key information, including status of devices, access and system logs, and notifications
  • LDAP pagination support
    • Support of pagination for LDAP means that 2N® Access Commander may now be synchronized with Microsoft Active Directories containing over 1000 users

Improvements:

  • Call buttons are only synchronized when a device belongs to an access rule. Before this, call button assignments were imported form the devices during import, meaning users without call button assignments were deleted from the device used for import. This will no longer happen since the directory of the device will only be synchronized once the device is included in an access rule
  • Support of 2N® Indoor View added
  • Over 20 new system log events added, covering companies, users, devices, attendance, cam logs and anti-pass back
  • Upgrade to latest stable Debian version

  • system upgrade mechanism improvements
  • default keyboard in system console changed to US English
  • bug fix: sample user import CSV file download didn’t work
  • bug fix: dashboard showed 0 users, devices, zones, etc, in specific cases
  • Since the upgrade mechanism has been changed in this version, it is necessary to run the upgrade twice. After the first execution, the upgrade mechanism itself gets upgraded and the system will still show the original version number. When the upgrade is run for the second time, a regular upgrade downloads a new system version. We’re sorry for inconvenience.
