You can use the MigrationsPerformed and MigrationsRunning conditions to check the migration status. For more information, see Database migration status.

• Removed MongoDB resources automatically: From foundational services version 4.10, the IM operator removes the MongoDB resources that exist in the Authentication namespace automatically after a successful database migration.

• Updated migration name in the operator logs: From foundational services version 4.10, the migration names such as initEDB and MongoToV1 in the operator logs are changed to initOperandSchemas and MongoToEDBv1.

• Access to all configured login options: If you need to access a login type that is not listed as the value of the PREFERRED_LOGIN parameter, you can go to the login page and specify a skip_pref_login parameter which makes all the configured login options available. For more information, see Authentication types.
