Subject:  General Availability Announcement for Layer7 API Developer Portal 5.2.2

The Layer7 product group of Broadcom's IMS division is pleased to announce that the Layer7 API Developer Portal 5.2.2 is now available. This release provides key enhancements based on customer feedback and user experience improvements. 

Congratulations to the team for reaching this important milestone and for continuing to deliver value to our customers.

Here are the highlights of this Layer7 API Developer Portal release:

• Portal Debian OVA - Provides a hardened virtual appliance image based on Debian 11 to be used to host the Layer7 API Developer Portal. The previously provided CentOS-based OVA has now been deprecated.
• Allow Org Admin to pre-register Users within their Auth Scheme - Improves user experience and operational efficiency by providing the ability to pre-register users configured to use an external IDP with portal-based authorization within organizations eliminating the need for them to login prior to being given access to the appropriate organizations and roles.
• Bulk Deployment Improvements - Greatly reduced time for bulk deployment of API Key data allowing new gateways to be enrolled and operational in a fraction of the time previously required
• Support the ability to disable portal application sync - Allows legacy scheduled tasks for application sync to be disabled, eliminating misleading error messages from logs, and providing necessary data such as OTK version via a new PAPI endpoint.
• Provide ability to configure DB Pool - Improves flexibility and ease of configuration to tune DB properties by supporting direct configuration via the portal.conf or values.yaml for k8s deployments.

For a complete list of enhancements and changes, please see the release notes and product documentation for more information.
