## Features ✨

Give us feedback via our [public roadmap](https://product.conduktor.help/)

- **Platform**

  - External group mapping for LDAP/OIDC - [See docs](https://docs.conduktor.io/platform/configuration/user-authentication/external-group-sync/)
  - DB support for TLS - [See docs](https://docs.conduktor.io/platform/configuration/database/#ssl-support)
  - Allow to force platform URL with `platform.external.url` configuration. This can fix SSO callback URL errors if upstream proxy sends the wrong `X-Forwarded-*` HTTP headers to the platform.

- **Console**

  - Support mTLS on Kafka Connect
  - Improve the performance of the consumer and topic lists screen
  - New design for the cluster dropdown has been implemented

- **Admin**

  - Configure Kafka Connect connection with mTLS
  - Configure an icon to distinguish your clusters

- **Testing**

  - Add 'Skip SSL' functionality to HTTP tasks

## Fix 🔨

- **Console**
