-
You no longer have the option to make MFA optional across your entire organization.
July 23, 2022
What’s New
-
For enhanced security, Access Management might ask users to re-authenticate before they can modify their email addresses. Similarly, Access Management might ask organization administrators to re-authenticate before they can modify their organization users’ email addresses.

April 29, 2022
What’s New
-
When you create a new organization, multi-factor authentication (MFA) is enabled by default. While it is best to use the Connected Apps feature instead of service accounts, an organization administrator can add service accounts or other user accounts without MFA to an exemption list.
-

February 21, 2022
What’s New
-
You can now configure Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) as a client provider. As your client provider, Azure AD provides a stateless microservice to convert OAuth 2.0 client application registration requests to requests supported by Azure AD. Additionally, configuring Azure AD as a client provider enables you to authenticate and and authorize existing API consumers.
January 14, 2022
What’s New
-
When you configure the Issuer field while adding a client provider, such as Okta, that is compatible with this spec, metadata from
$ISSUER/.well-known/oauth-authorization-serveris discovered and validated prior to merging. Once the validation is complete, a complete list of available grant types appears. If you want to fetch metadata for validation for an existing client provider, save that client provider again, and the validation occurs automatically.
This change makes the client provider registration process smoother for Okta users. Additionally, this change also enables the use of the Client Credentials grant type. -
When you use dynamic client registration to configure a client provider, you can now configure the length of time at which a client provider times out. The minimum timeout value is five seconds, and the maximum value is 20 seconds.
June 10, 2021
The Teams feature provides improved user and permission management. Teams provides user grouping mechanisms in Anypoint Platform, which streamlines collaboration, reuse, and scalability. Use teams to:
-
Manage users and permissions across multiple business groups
-
Define permissions and then assign them to multiple users in one click
-
Set global permissions (for example, give everyone in your organization the Exchange Viewer permission)
-
Share Exchange assets with a specific group of users
Additionally, the Access Management navigation menu and user interface have been revamped to simplify navigation and permission management across business groups.
Enhancements and updates are available on an opt-in basis. You can continue using old views after the Teams feature and user interface enhancement release.
