RSA SecurID Access Product Release Notes

• Emergency Tokencode is supported for thick RADIUS clients and for Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA).
• Configuration improvements affect SAML-enabled web applications when the Cloud Authentication Service is the identity provider.
• You are now allowed to customize the default attribute mappings for Active Directory identity sources.
• RSA Link now provides complete documentation describing how to use operators when specifying LDAP attributes in access policies.

• You can now specify FIDO Token as a primary authentication option when configuring service providers.
• You can customize pages used for additional authentication by adding your own logo when you configure RSA SecurID Access My Page.
• The Cloud Administration User Event Log API returns the overall identity confidence score, including threshold and category scores (behavior, location and device) for users.
• RSA SecurID Authenticate 3.1 for iOS allows a user to add up to 10 different accounts (formerly called companies) in the app and contains bug fixes.
• To provide more flexibility when configuring authentication for a service provider, if you select the option to have RSA SecurID Access manage all authentication, you can now select the Determined by Service Provider at Run Time option to specify primary authentication in the RequestedAuthnContext attribute.
• RSA MFA Agent 1.2 for Microsoft Windows works with the Cloud Authentication Service to require users to provide additional authentication to sign into Windows computers, whether they are online or offline.

• Phased update process to occur between October 9-17, 2019.
• Emergency Tokencode available for users who forget or misplace their registered devices. 
• Performance and reliability improvements. 

RSA SecurID Authenticate 3.1 for Android allows an individual user to add up to 10 different accounts (formerly called companies) in the app. Also, this release is qualified with Android 10.

RSA SecurID Authenticate 3.0.4 for iOS is qualified with iOS 13 and resolves NGX-34252, an issue with the Authenticate Tokencode display on iOS 13.

RSA SecurID Authenticate 3.1.1 for Windows contains the following updates:

• To reduce administrative effort and increase usability, if a user’s email address changes in the identity source, the Authenticate app continues to work seamlessly. Users no longer need to re-register their devices.

• Bug fixes.

With this release, RSA SecurID Authenticate for Windows no longer supports Windows Mobile devices.

RSA SecurID Authenticate 3.0.3 contains bug fixes, including NGX-33118. RSA SecurID Authenticate for iOS no longer freezes on the splash screen when receiving notifications.

• Users can register FIDO Tokens in a more secure environment using RSA SecurID Access My Page. My Page allows you to protect FIDO registration with an access policy that you can align with your company’s existing policies. 
• Previously, automatic push notifications were not available when only the access policy was applied for additional authentication (without primary validation). These notifications are now available for this configuration.
• Identity router setup has been simplified for identity routers deployed in the VMware and Hyper-V
  environments.
• The Platform > Identity Routers list page provides more details on the status of each identity router and its dependent services, including the status of clusters, memory usage, CPU usage, and cloud connectivity.
• The identity router supports transparent, explicit, and man-in-the-middle proxy configurations. The identity router informs you if a non-RSA SSL proxy certificate is configured, and allows you to temporarily accept the certificate and proceed while you work with your network IT to whitelist the URL.
• You can view up-to-date identity confidence analytics information by generating a report in the Cloud Administration Console. 

• You can now extend Cloud Authentication Service authentication methods to Windows computers with RSA MFA Agent for Microsoft Windows. RSA MFA Agent 1.1 for Microsoft Windows works with the Cloud Authentication Service to require users to provide additional authentication to sign into Windows computers, whether they are online or offline.
• To improve the user experience, you can now customize My Page in the following ways:
  • Add your own company logo.
  • Create a single sign-on experience for My Page by adding your own Cloud Identity Provider.
• To align with Microsoft Azure Resource Manager deployment model changes, the Cloud Authentication Service and Cloud Administration Console IP addresses will be changing in September 2019. Your deployment must be able to connect to both new and old IP addresses in September 2019.
• RSA recommends clearing the userParameters Attribute checkbox in your identity source configuration. Selecting this attribute occasionally prevents identity source synchronization.

• RSA SecurID Authenticate 3.0.2 for iOS resolves NGX-31886. With this fix, the Authenticate Tokencode will no longer display as zeroes for a small percentage of users who update to this app from version 2.2.
• All Authenticate for iOS users should update to this version. This release requires iOS 11.

RSA SecurID Authenticate 3.0.1 for iOS resolves the following issues:

• NGX-31260- Users who update to the latest app version now receive notifications for the Approve authentication method.
• NGX-31263- Users who update to the latest app version no longer need to re-register their devices with RSA SecurID Access.

• To align with Microsoft Azure Resource Manager deployment model changes, the Cloud Authentication Service and Cloud Administration Console IP addresses will be changing in September 2019. Your deployment must be able to connect to  both new and old IP addresses in September 2019.
• To prevent issues with device registration and adding additional companies, users must update their RSA SecurID Authenticate App before June 15, 2019. 
• Improved reporting of users' identity confidence scores benefits Help Desk Administrators and users.

• You can configure the Cloud Authentication Service to automatically send confirmation email to users when they register or delete devices.
• Pagination makes it easier to manage multiple RADIUS profiles. In the Cloud Administration Console, you can choose to display 10, 20, or 30 profiles associated with a client on the RADIUS Profiles page.

• Identity router replication improvements require simultaneous updates for all clusters.
• Just-in-time synchronization is automatically enabled for all customers who deploy the Cloud Authentication Service after the March 2019 release is available. 
• You can use the Add/Remove High Risk User API to control whether users who are identified as high risk can access protected resources or if these users must authenticate at a higher assurance level than other users.
• You can ensure that each Administration API has permission to access appropriate information in the Cloud Authentication Service by assigning an administrative role to each API key.
• The FIDO Token authentication method is available on more browsers (including mobile browsers) and supports the FIDO 2 authentication standard.
• If the identity router is unable to connect to the Cloud Authentication Service (for example, during setup), you can use the Identity Router Setup Console to enable emergency troubleshooting features.
• You can create custom RADIUS profiles that specify an access policy rule set to identify which users can authenticate through the clients associated with the profile.
• Status indicators for the identity router have been improved and expanded, making it easier for you to troubleshoot problems with identity router services, as well as connectivity problems between identity routers and the Cloud Authentication Service.

• The disaster recovery environment for the Cloud Authentication Service is available for the EMEA and AUS regions.
• You can monitor the current and historical uptime of the Cloud Authentication Service and the Cloud Administration Console on a service status page.
• To receive frequent updates on the Cloud Authentication Service availability, use the Health Check API to integrate with your application monitoring product.
• RSA SecurID Authenticate 2.3.0 for Android and RSA RSA SecurID Authenticate 2.2.0 for iOS support simplifying device registration with Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) technology that supports the AppConfig Community standards, such as VMWare AirWatch. 
• To align with the Google migration to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), RSA SecurID Authenticate 2.2.0 for Android uses FCM for push notifications. Users must take action by updating to version 2.2.0 or higher of the app by March 31, 2019.
