Feb 1, 2023 — User provisioning enhancements, new CLI capabilities and Windows Logon plug-in update

almost 2 years ago by kmieciek@akamai.com

New features and enhancements

Include Manually Provisioned Users. With this new control enabled, you can move existing, manually provisioned users to your EAA instance without requiring re-enrollment.

Microsoft Azure AD user provisioning. ​Akamai MFA​ SCIM support for Azure AD is now only available with the SCIM 2.0 compliant mode of Azure AD.

​Akamai MFA​ CLI new capabilities. Refer to the CLI documentation to learn how to manage your ​Akamai MFA​ configuration using the command line interface.

Known issues

  • Users using the Windows Logon plug-in and attempting to unlock the Windows locked screen may sometimes encounter errors entering just the username.
    Workaround: Users may try entering domain\username in the username field to unlock the screen.

  • Clicking the “Help” link present in the ​Akamai MFA​ authentication prompt may not open the link in the webview presented inside an application’s client, such as the WebEx client, that is used to authenticate with MFA for that application. As an alternative, the user may enter <<MFA_DOMAIN>>/help in a standard web browser and reach the same destination.
