RED 10.6 ‘Extensible Auth’ Release
Authentication on Your Terms
Features
What New in RED 10.6?
Extensible Authentication
Handle modern sign-in that drivers don’t natively support. Bring your own OAuth/Entra ID + MFA/TOTP workflows – without having to resort to brittle workarounds.
Secure Tokens in Pipelines
Use encrypted tokens in connection strings to pass governed credentials to scripts and jobs.
Performance & Publishing
New metadata indexes speed-up queries and open large object properties, while improved job publishing via Application deployment streamlines promotion to higher environments.
RED 10.6: Complex Auth Made Simpler
Identity has changed. Your targets may require OAuth 2.0 consent, Entra ID policies, rotating tokens or MFA/TOTP prompts – but the generic driver often can’t handle it alone. That’s where RED 10.6’s Extensible Authentication comes in.
With RED 10.6, you define the rules and RED executes them: securely and repeatably. You provide configuration in Auth Configuration JSON and point RED at an Auth Script Command. When a connection needs to authenticate, or a token nears expiry, RED saves the Profile, runs your script and then reloads the refreshed encrypted tokens + settings your script wrote back.
Connections are then resumed automatically and RED tracks the Auth Expires After window for the next refresh.
WhereScape RED now comes with authentication that fits in your world, not the other way around.
