Required Identity Router Updates Must be Completed by October 31, 2021

To strengthen overall security, SecurID has rolled out significant improvements that harden identity routers to meet Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) standards. You must update your identity router software version to 12.12.x and the operating system from SLES 11 SP4 to SLES 12 SP5. To view identity router version and operating system information, see View Identity Router Status in the Cloud Administration Console.

If your identity routers meet all three of the following criteria, you must replace them by October 31, 2021 with a new image downloaded from the Cloud Administration Console:

• 10 GB disk space or the identity router is embedded in Authentication Manager
• SLES 11 operating system
• Identity router version prior to 12.12

No additional updates are available for these identity routers, likely resulting in future compatibility issues. Perform the streamlined swap and replace procedure described in the Identity Router 12.12.x Migration Guide.
