Aug 25, 2021 — Akamai MFA release

New features and enhancements

  • ​Akamai​ Krypton (akr) FIDO2 SSH Agent (beta). This capability is an alternative to the existing ​Akamai MFA​ Unix PAM integration and allows you to protect your SSH logins.

  • With the enhanced MFA Dashboard, you can navigate from widgets presenting user statuses or authentication data to more detailed information on the Users page or in the Authentication events report.

  • Include Existing Users when configuring User Provisioning. This capability lets you update the source of provisioning for users already existing in ​Akamai MFA​. This allows you to change user provisioning methods, for example, from manual to SCIM integration, without forcing users who have been previously provisioned to re-enroll their devices.

Known issues

  • When enrolling your trusted device with the Microsoft Authenticator app, you may receive the 'Invalid Activation barcode' error message.
    Workaround: If you receive the 'Invalid Activation barcode' message, you can enroll in the Microsoft Authenticator app by entering the code manually.

  • When a new user enrolls and authenticates by following an email enrollment link, the Integration field of the Authentication events report is left blank.

  • Clicking the background image during the authentication to the Remote Desktop server with the ​Akamai MFA​ Windows logon plug-in hides the ​Akamai MFA​ authentication prompt.
    Workaround. There is currently no workaround.
