Hello Maintainers, Could please help with the issue?

[nabokihms]

Hello, @Vaishnavi-BH. It should be fixed by #3335

[Vaishnavi-BH]

Hello @nabokihms, there are two questions,

1. Does above fixed #3335 is deployed in existing release (v2.38.0) ? or there will be new release?
2. Does above fixed #3335 is also added to latest Helm charts version 0.16.0 ?

We are using latest Dex version v2.38.0 and Helm-chart version 0.16.0 still getting 401 { "error": "access_denied"}

If the changes are not added in the latest version, when we can expect new version/release with above changes?

Hey @Vaishnavi-BH,

the PR was merged but not released yet. You'll sadly need to wait for the next release (probably v2.39.0). The helm chart will be updated in a seperate release (probably 0.17.0). In case the helm chart isn't updated in time you can manually adjust the values to use the latest dex version.. once released. Hope that helps

[nabokihms]

The release of Dex v2.39.0 is planned for the next week.

[Vaishnavi-BH]

Hello @nabokihms, Can you please provide tentative date for Dex release v2.39.0?

Kindly let us know the approx date for the Dex v2.39.0 as we had some planned activities based on the same.

It will be released somewhen this week, so if you want to arrange any plans, I'd suggest you aim at Monday 25th of March.
