The following subsections provide the highlights of the new and enhanced features of Cloud Authentication Service (CAS).
My Page and the Cloud Administration Console have been rebranded from "SecurID" to "RSA". Both have been updated with the new RSA logo and colors. The following example screen shows the rebranded dashboard of the Cloud Administration Console.
You can now protect access to your OpenID Connect (OIDC) based applications with the OpenID Connect certified connector of RSA My Page. For more information about OpenID Connect Certification, see the following links:
In the Cloud Administration Console, the Identity Confidence Dashboard has been rebranded as the Risk AI Dashboard. You can now modify the Identity Confidence Threshold value calculated by the Risk Engine. The effective threshold will be the sum of the dynamic threshold and the adjusted threshold values. In the Risk AI Dashboard, the “User Behavior Over Time" line graph reflects the Effective Threshold in addition to the Identity Confidence Score and the Dynamic Calculated Threshold, indicating the contributing factors.
New region-specific domain names have been added for primary and alternate regions as a part of a future plan to reduce the overall failover time. Therefore, you need to whitelist these new domain names if you are using name-based firewall rules so that in the future your identity routers can connect to the Cloud using these new region-specific domain names.
Note: The domain names used in other URLs (e.g., Cloud Administration Console, REST API URLs, or a URL that AM connects to) remain the same.
The identity routers have been enhanced to perform periodic connectivity checks to the Cloud using these new region-specific domain names, and the results are shown in the Cloud Administration Console. To check the connectivity statuses of the Software Update Service, the Adapter Update Service, and the Cloud Authentication Service Connection to the primary and alternate regions using these new domain names, navigate to Platform > Identity Routers in the Cloud Administration Console.
The Logout URL field on the Cloud Administration Console > Access > My Page can now be configured irrespective of the selection made in the Primary Authentication Method. This was previously allowed only for the "Performed by Cloud Identity Provider" authentication method.
The new SDK V2.7.3 upgraded the log4j dependency from 1.2.17 to 2.20.0 to address all the known log4j vulnerabilities in the previous releases, noting that the SDK is not using vulnerable log4j features.
RSA Authenticator app V4.3 for iOS and Android has a new design and additional features to improve the experience of users. For more information, see RSA Authenticator 4.3 for iOS and Android – Coming Soon with New Look and More.
