The Ares updater may create unnecessary WebValidation entries.
The AresUpdate.sql script is using checks to determine if a web validation entry exists. The entries were necessary in the 4.6.0 major update but were not removed in the subsequent point releases.
As an example, if a site chose to not use the PasswordHint field they may have removed the validation. The update script will add the validation back in each 4.6.x update if the site had already removed the web validation entry.

Students are not routed to right page when following OpenURL link
When following an OpenURL link to submit an Ares item, users are correctly sent to the OpenURL form if they're instructors or proxies for an instructor. However, students without any instructor privileges are not routed correctly; instead of being sent to the main menu, perhaps with a status line message, they fall through to CourseInfo.html (right after the log statement 'Unable to find matching form for acShow action.').

Ares Link Checker fails to create secure SSL/TLS channel if link web server is using secure crypto
.NET 4.5 does not support secure TLS 1.1 & 1.2 by default. If the link points to a server that has disabled TLS 1.0 the link will have the secure channel error. .NET 4.6 supports TLS 1.1 & 1.2 by default.

Item cloning does not manage connections efficiently
Database connections are opened and closed repeatedly for various processes within the cloning item action. Each time something in the database is looked up, like querying tags or flags, the connection is being reinitialized.
A small change can be made to keep the connection opened during the entire process.

The Ares web service has two log statements that always produce an error.
The following two lines in BasicLtiController.cs have an incorrect index in the log format statement that results in an error (captured by the logging framework so that it does not impact the functionality of the web service).
log.DebugFormat("Valid Signature from {1}", originalRequestUrl);
log.DebugFormat("Set instructor privileges for {1}", instructor.Username);1 votereleased ·AdminDustin Stokes

Ares LTI is inconsistent about setting user's types to Instructor.
When an existing user comes into Ares through LTI with the role of Instructor, their Ares user type will be set to Instructor only if Ares needs to create the course. If the course already exists, they will be assigned as the instructor but their Ares user type can remain as User.

The CourseUserType for a user is not updated when an LTI role is changes when the CourseUser entry already exists
To reproduce:
1. Use the LTI Consumer Simulation tool to launch a course that already exists with a non-instructor role. The launch action will call EnrollUser(isInstructor: false) so the CourseUser entry is added as a User.
2. Change the role of the user on the LTI Consumer simulation tool to a valid instructor role and launch again. The user will be brought to the course page in Ares as a student.1 vote -
Web DLL Item Search queries have ambiguous access counts
The ItemSearch queries in the DLL join access counts for 2 different purposes in the DLL. In student mode the icon to indicate if the user has reviewed the item or not is based on usage statistics (and requires AnonymousUsageStatistics to be disabled). The usage count in the search is also enabled when displaying the Items available for cloning if the CloneItemsRequireUsage custkey is greater than 0. The query clauses are slightly different since the student mode functionality requires access for the individual user compared to the cloning functionality which needs a generic access count. Both query clauses join the…

Sorting course items in the web with the mouse requires an additional click outside of the field dropdown.
n the web interface, go to the course home of a course with several items. Using your mouse, select a field in the SortBy dropdown. The list of items will not reload/resort until you click on something outside of the dropdown.
This is because the sort event on the dropdown was changed from onchange to onblur because navigating through the dropdown options with a keyboard raises the onchange event every time they cursor down or up, causing the page to reload with that option, making this feature unusable from the keyboard.

Ares web alerts contain a time portion that can't be set in the UI
In the Ares Client, create a new system web alert for the next day. When you look at the record in the SystemAlerts table, you can see that the ActivateDate and InactiveDate fields contain the time component even though the UI in the Client only allows you to select a date, and the time component is set to the time of day the alert was created. So if you create an alert for the next day at noon, it won't show for users until noon the next day and the staff user doesn't have any control over this.
