over 1 year ago by kmieciek@akamai.com

New features and enhancements

The latest enhancements to the Deployment History include new features designed to improve the visibility and accountability of your deployments. One of the key new capabilities in this release is the ability to capture integration, user, and user provisioning changes made by an administrator. These changes are now logged automatically and included in your deployment report. With the addition of a search bar, you can search your deployment history using keywords, making it easy to quickly find the information you need.

Email authentication factor. Email authentication is now presented as an equal option alongside other authentication factors such as phone-based methods or security tokens. End users can now use their registered email address as an alternative method for authentication.

Krypton akr FIDO2 SSH Agent updates. The akr command-line utility was updated to support macOS Ventura (13+) and RHEL/CentOS 9.

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.
