To strengthen the overall security of the Cloud Authentication Service, SecurID has rolled out significant improvements that harden identity routers to meet Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) standards. These improvements require all customers to update their identity router software version to 12.12.x before October 31, 2021. No additional updates will be provided for identity routers that are not updated to version 12.12, resulting in future compatibility issues. 

Manual Replacement of Identity Routers

While some identity routers can be automatically upgraded, customers with certain identity routers must manually remove and replace them. If your identity routers meet all three of the following criteria, you must manually 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

If your identity routers meet these criteria, you must perform the streamlined swap-and-replace procedure described in the Identity Router 12.12.x Migration Guide.

For complete information about upgrading all other identity routers, see the Release Notes.

Thank you,
The SecurID Team
