Known Issues and Limitations
SAFEQ Cloud Known Issues and Limitations
API
| SAFEQ Cloud Version | Limitation |
|---|---|
| 3.21 | Locations can be created/update via API using incorrect formats for the combination of locationData & locationType parameters. |
| 3.0 | Enabling plain API port on API service doesn’t open port 7303. Workaround is to restart the server hosting the API service. |
Core
| SAFEQ Cloud Version | Limitation |
|---|---|
| 3.44 | When log4j2.xml file is updated, the log level on server is set to the value of SAFEQ CloudLogLevel parameter in this file. |
| 3.38 | Offline server cache is currently not working as intended and is under review. |
| 3.10 | When using loadbalancer without sticky session, webclients are not supported. |
| 3.0 | In some configurations, expired jobs not printed counts as printed in reports. |
| 3.0 | Page range print option does not work for TCP and IPP protocols. |
Authentication
| SAFEQ Cloud Version | Limitation |
|---|---|
3.43 | For Microsoft Entra and Okta identity providers, SAML is supported when using Service Account configuration. |
3.40 | Nested/transitional LDAP group memberships are not supported for ACL. Users must be direct members of the group configured in the respective ACL. |
3.26 | Cannot update an access control entry related to an inactive authentication provider. |
| 3.11 | Duplicate Card IDs can be set for the same user via SAFEQ Cloud Web UI & API. |
| 3.10 | Google authentication limited to use with Chromebooks for user creation. |
| 3.0 | IPP can in some configurations fail with “Authentication error” for Windows workstations joined an Azure domain with Azure AD configured in SAFEQ Cloud. Workaround: Use SAFEQ Cloud Client to distribute IPP queues or specify simple username in IPP path. |
| 3.0 | Azure AD authentication does not support multi-factor authentication “MFA”. To enable 1FA authentication if 2FA is required, is to whitelist the SAFEQ Cloud server making authentication requests in Azure. Alternative is to use the “One-time password” feature in SAFEQ Cloud or Azure/ADFS single-sign-on. |
| 3.0 | Azure AD Authentication – user cannot login to SAFEQ Cloud if they have a ‘sharepoint admin’ role in Azure AD. |
SAFEQ Cloud Web UI
| SAFEQ Cloud Version | Limitation |
|---|---|
| 3.39 | When using a native scanning feature such as "Scan to my email," the scan job may initially appear as a print job type on the "My documents" page until fully processed. |
| 3.20 | Errors appear on Web UI when making modifications concurrently on Access Control by multiple users on the same customer. |
| 3.0 | Internal Error in SAFEQ Cloud Web UI when trying to delete pending print job from shutdown SAFEQ Cloud Client running local storage. |
| 3.0 | SAFEQ Cloud Web UI screen may become unresponsive after deleting a pending job from a storage which is offline/no longer available. |
Mobile Printing
| SAFEQ Cloud Version | Limitation |
|---|---|
| 3.24 | Airprint is not working with iOs version 15.5 |
SAFEQ Cloud Client
| SAFEQ Cloud Version | Limitation |
|---|---|
| 3.27 | In case of a heavy load, SAFEQ Cloud may start additional nodes and use them to store documents submitted to the cloud. After the load returns to normal, these nodes will shut down in order to conserve resources. As the documents are not stored in a shared cache, it is not possible to release a document stored on a terminated node. This problem can be solved by submitting the document(s) again. |
| 3.19 | The default printer within SAFEQ Cloud Client may not always be set. |
| 3.15 | At the moment, you can not set up any default driver options on the SAFEQ Cloud Client for Mac OS. For instance, BW/color and simplex/duplex as default. This is possible on the Windows SAFEQ Cloud lient. |
| 3.0 | the print queues are not removed if uninstalling just after printing and before logout. |
| 3.0 | For Citrix thin clients or Windows Terminal Services clients, user or location specific printers are not supported. Print queues created by the SAFEQ Cloud Client on Windows thin clients, are all created as shared among all sessions on the Citrix or Terminal Services host. When the SAFEQ Cloud Client detects the session is running in a Terminal Services session, it will not delete printers on custom logout. |
| 3.0 | macOS SAFEQ Cloud Client – print + staple using Adobe Reader DC with collate option not working as expected. |
Search
| SAFEQ Cloud Version | Limitation |
|---|---|
| 3.10 | Search function does not return results for Servers. You can utilise the Servers view and filter for Secondary Gateways by status (All/Online/Offline/Disabled/Updateable) to view these. |
| 3.0 | Nested group lookup not supported. |
Security
| SAFEQ Cloud Version | Limitation |
|---|---|
| 3.8 | TLS 1.3 cannot be enabled for channel communications over Port 2560 (messaging between Primary and Secondary Gateway, SAFEQ Cloud Client in “Local Storage” mode and Primary) – Limitation removed from version 3.24 |
