We are pleased to announce that Opal 2.14 has been released and is now now available! Opal is OBiBa’s core database application for biobanks.
Thanks to the funding of the EUCAN Connect program, this release greatly improves the speed of the import and export of datasets, as well as their assignment to R. Thanks to reduced memory needs, much larger datasets can be handled (tested with a dataset of 200M data points and a 8G opal server).
This release also supports external identity providers based on the OpenID Connect protocol for a better integration with the hosting institution’s authentication system. The implementation is based on the excellent Nimbus OAuth 2.0 SDK . This has been tested with Keycloak , but should work with any identity provider system exposing an OpenID Connect configuration discovery entry point.
