cPanel Releases Enkompass 2.0

Latest release represents a significant evolution of the Enkompass product.

cPanel, a hosting automation software provider, recently announced the release of Enkompass 2.0. The company avers that this latest release represents a significant evolution of the Enkompass product including:

Emulation of cPanel & WHM's XML-API, an industry standard for billing automation
Support for Classic ASP as well as more ASP configuration options
Re-designed bandwidth monitoring system, allowing more flexibility
Re-written backup system, lowering resource usage and providing additional restoration control
Several significant user interface refinements beginning the moment you login
Many performance and resource usage enhancements

It says that Enkompass now supports Classic ASP, ASP.NET, ASP.NET 2.0/3.5 and ASP.NET 4.0. This can be configured on a per-account basis by a server administrator or reseller. Additionally, by granting the 'Configure ASP.NET Framework' role to web site owners, they can configure their account via the Web Site Owner interface. Also available is the option to switch between Classic and Integrated Pipeline Mode.

The company mentions that use of ASP is now optional, and accounts will not have ASP capabilities enabled by default anymore. Disabling ASP can save up to 20 megabytes of memory per account. As a result of this change, we have modified the default docs to be as follows (in order): index.php, Default.htm, Default.asp, index.htm, index.html, iisstart.htm, default.aspx, index.aspx, index.asp, and default.html.

It articulates that Enkompass 2.0 also introduces new measures to thwart malicious activity. Among them are two Tweak Settings: Commonly Spoofed Domain Protection and External Domain Protection. Commonly Spoofed Domain Protection prevents the use of commonly spoofed domains like cPanel.net and Google.com. External Domain Protection stops someone from registering an account on your Enkompass deployment using domains already managed by your local DNS.

According to the company, knowing when to update Enkompass is now easier. After upgrading to Enkompass 2.0, the system administrator will now receive an email whenever an update for Enkompass is available. To further ease the updating process, an icon will appear on the home screen in System Administration Interface when an update is available.
