MachForm Cloud Users

If you’re subscribed to any of our MachForm Cloud plans, there is no further action required on your side. We’ve automatically updated MachForm version on all our cloud users with the latest version. You can use the new features right now!

Version Numbers Change

As of today (July 7th, 2017) we’ll be changing our version numbering to allow us release updates more often.

Previously, when we change the major version number (e.g from v3.x to v4.x) this means many of new features and updates. While the minor version number (e.g. from v4.7 to v4.8) indicate small changes or single new feature. The main drawback with this approach is when we need to release new major version, it will require significant amount of time (more than several months or even years), which we hate.

Now, we’re planning to release new updates more often (our goal is to have new update every 1-3 months). So, any new update that contain one or more features, it will change the major version number up (e.g v6, v7, v8). While any new update that contain only bugfixes, it will change the minor version number up (e.g v5.2, v5.3).

Confusing? Well, just ignore the above technical stuff. The most important point is you’ll get more updates every year! 🙂

MachForm Cloud and Terms / Policy Updates

During the last week (effective as of April 21st, 2016), Appnitro Software has undergone some major changes and this post is a recap of those changes.

 

1) MachForm Cloud

In addition to the existing self-hosted MachForm, we released MachForm Cloud service, which is the same as self-hosted MachForm (feature-wise) but hosted on our cloud servers.

You can check the pricing plan of MachForm Cloud here.

 

FAQ regarding MachForm Cloud:

 

a) I’m using self-hosted MachForm already. Does this mean I’m being forced to use MachForm Cloud?

Of course not! MachForm Cloud is an additional service we provide in addition to the self-hosted MachForm.

 

b) Does this mean my self-hosted MachForm will stop working?

No. Your self-hosted MachForm will still work just fine.

 

c) Why are you releasing MachForm Cloud?

Our goal is to provide wider deployment options to all our customers.

Self-hosted MachForm is suitable for those who have full control over their website server while the cloud is appropriate for those having sites that don’t support the installation of PHP applications.

 

d) Do you plan to stop self-hosted MachForm development?

Absolutely not! MachForm Self-Hosted and MachForm Cloud are technically using the same codebase. We’ll keep releasing new updates for both MachForm Self-Hosted and MachForm Cloud.

 

2) New Domain and Website Redesign

MachForm site is now moving to https://www.machform.com and we’re redirecting most of the links from our previous site http://www.appnitro.com to the new domain.

 

3) Support Policy

There is no actual change to the support policy itself. Our support policy remains the same. Each license comes with 1-year technical support.

 

However, we’re now enforcing this 1-year support period. Previously we always provide support to all users, regardless of this 1-year period. We provided free support without limiting the support period on a voluntary basis.

Unfortunately, due to limited resources and users growth, we won’t be able to provide free support after the 1-year support period any longer.

 

To keep receiving technical support after 1-year period, all users will need to renew their support contract.

 

4) Version Updates

We have major change with our version update policy.

Our old policy: Minor version updates are free, while major version upgrades would cost some upgrade fee.

Our new policy: Minor and Major version updates are free, as long as you have an active support contract.

 

This new policy is effective as of April 21st, 2016 and applicable to those who purchased MachForm after that date.

 

For users who purchased MachForm before April 21st, 2016, we still honored our previous policy.

If you still have active support contract, you can download the latest version on Billing Area (previously called Member Area).

If your support contract has been expired, you won’t be able to download it from Billing Area, but you can get the latest version update (v4.8) by requesting a download link to this email: download_request [at] appnitro.com

 

Simply send a request to the above email address and include your License Key. We’ll send you the download link to v4.8.

We don’t plan to release v4.9 (unless there’s a security update), and our next release will be v5.0

LDAP Authentication

With the release of MachForm v4.3, we’ve added a new feature to let your MachForm to authenticate against LDAP server.

What is LDAP?

If you’re not familiar with LDAP already, then most likely you won’t need to use it. LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is mostly used by medium-to-large organizations to provide single sign-on functionality across different applications.

How does MachForm work with LDAP?

Once enabled, all logins will be authenticated against LDAP server. Local MachForm user will be created automatically (if no existing machform user found) for authenticated LDAP login.

Any operation to change login credentials from within MachForm will be disabled and you’ll be able to control it from your LDAP server.

However, to assign custom privileges/permissions, you still need to use MachForm panel.

How to enable?

Simply go to Settings page and turn on “Use LDAP Authentication for Users” option. You’ll be prompted to enter your LDAP server details there.

Supported LDAP Server

MachForm has been tested to work with Active Directory, OpenLDAP and ApacheDS. It should also working with other LDAP servers that support LDAP V3.

Requirement

This functionality require PHP LDAP extension to be enabled on your server.

Availability

LDAP Authentication is only available within MachForm Unlimited license.
