UniconOS Management 2607 (formerly Scout 15)

Release date 2026-08-07

New

  • Japanese support for Scout Board
  • Search for device configuration elements in Scout Board
  • IgnoreDHCPHostname can be configured in the device configuration
  • UniconOS device-info desktop overlay configurable
  • Persistent Home can be configured with labels
  • Search feature in the OU filter table and paging enhancements
  • Show more information during login (Certificates/AD)
  • Show the dual boot information in the device table

Changed

  • Configure the log file location
  • Diagnostics request time notifications distinguishable
  • Applied Rules & Labels is the first field in the device details panel
  • The OU filter (subnet / user-defined) table now supports search and larger, remembered page sizes.
  • When a directory-server certificate blocks AD login, the login screen now names the certificate problem instead of showing a generic failure.
  • Enhanced rules definition
Note
Scout Board now uses ldaps:// only and validates the DC certificate chain (chain + hostname/SAN). Previously, this validation was turned off. LDAPS silently failed and used plaintext ldap://.
Affected: On-Premises AUTH_TYPE=AD deployments with an untrusted, expired or SAN-mismatched DC certificate, or a plaintext ldap:// entry in LDAPS_SERVERS / AUTH_DOMAIN_MAP.
Logins that worked in UniconOS Management version 15 2605 will fail. SSO modes and UniconOS Management Cloud deployments are not affected. The login screen will provide information on the cause, and the details will be in the backend.log log file.
Action required: In the Scout Board .env configuration file:
Perform configuration: LDAP_CA_PATH=<PEM CA bundle> or NODE_USE_SYSTEM_CA=1 You might need to set NODE_USE_SYSTEM_CA=1 as an environment variable, if the change in .env does not work.
Name mismatch: Use the DC FQDN in LDAPS_SERVERS / AUTH_DOMAIN_MAP, or LDAP_TLS_MODE=verify-ca
Temporary workaround only: Use LDAP_TLS_MODE=insecure.
This is not supported in production environments, and it does not restore plaintext. (ldap:// is refused in every mode)
The default is LDAP_TLS_MODE=verify-full

UniconOS 2607 (formerly eLux 7)

Release date 2026-08-18

New

Release date 2026-08-07

New

  • Dual Boot support allows UniconOS to be installed alongside Windows on the same device, providing a BCDR solution - keeping users productive when Windows is unavailable or compromised (Phase 1).
  • Support for Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) in Chromium-based browsers, including Google Chrome and Chromium.
  • UniconOS can now consume and enforce computer policies directly from the Imprivata appliance (Phase 1).

Changed

  • Applications can now be launched from the desktop using a double-click action.
Note
This behavior is enabled by default and can be reverted to single-click launch via UniconOS Management device configuration. To define the application launch behavior, add the following key and value in the advanced file entries, to the file /setup/terminal.ini and the Desktop section :
Key: DoubleClickAppStart,
Value: true | false (true = double-click (default value), false = single-click)
  • USB audio device auto-connection behavior is now configurable, allowing administrators to define preferred devices as well as devices that should be excluded from automatic assignment as the primary audio device.
  • The additional confirmation dialogs for Start menu actions have been removed, streamlining access to Shutdown, Restart, Logoff, and Sleep functions.
  • The date and time display in the system bar now shows the currently configured time zone and provides a direct link to the corresponding setting in the local device configuration.
  • The Windows key now opens the Start menu, providing a more familiar desktop experience.
  • The gear icon in the Start menu now provides direct access to the device settings. Functions previously available through the submenu, including Update Device, Fetch Device Configuration, Change Credentials, and Factory Reset, have been consolidated into the new Device Management section within the device configuration.
  • The desktop notification displayed during device mirroring has been enhanced. The notification bar can now be positioned more flexibly and switched to a compact display mode to reduce screen space usage.
  • Restored copy-and-paste functionality in the local device configuration.
  • The virtual keyboard now stays persistent across reboots.
  • Added Hebrew and Korean language support.
  • Added the ability to set a default domain for the Imprivata login screen.
  • Improved the Imprivata card enrollment experience with better timeout handling.
  • Added support for extending the UniconOS system partition on 16 GB devices during migration from eLux RP 6 or when performing a recovery installation via PXE or USB recovery media.
  • Added RAID driver support for Dell Latitude 5520, Dell Latitude 5530, and Dell OptiPlex 3090 SFF.
  • Added a device information overlay displayed on the UniconOS desktop wallpaper.
  • Replaced GTK Calculator (Galculator) with MATE Calculator.
  • Replaced MATE Screenshot with Flameshot.
  • Expanded the set of available debugging tools to include fuser, lsof, and ping.
