Bugs fixed

The following bugs are fixed in this release.

Note: The build number in the table specifies the earliest version of the component that contains the fix. Use that build number to determine if you already have the fix installed, or if you need to perform an update. The apigee-service utility displays the build number of the currently installed component:

/opt/apigee/apigee-service/bin/apigee-service comp version

where comp is the name of the component without the build number extension. For example:

/opt/apigee/apigee-service/bin/apigee-service apigee-setup version

or get the build number of all components:

/opt/apigee/apigee-service/bin/apigee-all version

Issue ID	Description	Build number
APIRT-3379	HTTP 423 Response code from target server no longer changed to HTTP 426	edge-gateway-4.16.09-0.0.1072
DBS-1372	Cassandra max heap size is now 8GB if system memory is greater than 16GB	apigee-cassandra-2.1.13-0.0.1033
DBS-1437	Autovaccum now enabled for Postgres by default	apigee-postgresql-9.4.9-0.0.1016
DOS-4039	External authentication causes apigee-service commands to fail When external authentication is enabled, most customers use the Active Directory SAM account name field as the username for authentication, instead of an email address which is used by the Edge OpenLDAP server. If you have integrated with an external directory service and want Edge to support an account name, rather than an email address, as the username, then add the following line to your config file when updating Edge to 4.16.05.07: IS_EXTERNAL_AUTH="true" This line configures Edge to support an account name, rather than an email address, as the username. See Version 4.16.09 for more.	apigee-lib-4.16.09-0.0.945
EDGEUI-656	Can now set rules for auto generating passwords in the Edge UI The Edge UI auto generates user passwords for new users. Users are typically then sent an email that allows them to change the auto generated password. You can now set the rules used to create these passwords. See Configure rules used to auto generate Edge UI passwords for more.	edge-ui-4.16.09-0.0.3812
EDGEUI-662	Can now set the password hint text in the Edge UI You can now control the text that appears in the reset password dialog box in the Edge UI. This is useful if you have special requirements on user passwords. See Setting the password hint text in the Edge UI for more.	edge-ui-4.16.09-0.0.3812
EDGEUI-664	Edge UI session is now correctly extended when user performs an action	edge-ui-4.16.09-0.0.3812
EDGEUI-854	Specifying session.maxAge in minutes now works You can now configure the session timeout of the Edge UI in minutes by setting the conf_application_session.maxAge property in the /<inst_root>/apigee/customer/application/ui.properties file.	edge-ui-4.16.09-0.0.3812
