Cisco Duo
New Features
Now Generally Available: Two new Admin API Endpoints to Restore Multiple Users from Trash and Send Multiple Users to Trash
- The Restore Multiple Users from Trash endpoint restores users from trash. Requires "Grant resource - Write" API permission.
- The Send Multiple Users to Trash endpoint sends users to trash. Requires "Grant resource - Write" API permission.
Now in Public Preview: Passport support for Passwordless for Operating System (OS) Logon
- If a user authenticates using Passwordless for OS Logon with Passport, applications protected by Duo Passwordless will not prompt the user to authenticate again for the duration of the remembered device session for browser-based applications.
Enhancements
- The MFA and Passwordless authentication prompts no longer pause processing when loaded in background browser tabs. For example, users can answer a push and the login will complete with the browser tab not in the foreground.
- The Directory Sync link on the Users page in the Duo Admin Panel has been renamed to External Directories.
- The Full Name and Email fields on the user details page and in the synced attribute configuration for external directory sync in the Duo Admin Panel have been renamed to Display Name and Email Address.
- Duo Passport with Windows Logon preview release 4.3.16, and future releases, will no longer require enabling a “Remember devices for Windows Logon” policy. A Passport session will be created during the Windows login process that will let users skip additional Duo two-factor authentication for browser and desktop applications and skip Duo SSO authentication.
- Duo Passport will no longer require users to complete passwordless authentication when first accessing an application with Duo Passwordless.
New and Updated Applications
Ten new named applications with Duo Single Sign-On (SSO)
- Upgraded Splunk SDK version.
- No change in functionality of Duo Splunk Connector.
- This Duo Splunk Connector will reach end of life as of May 1, 2025. Please update to the Cisco Security Cloud application on Splunkbase before this date.
- The user experience for managing the app's communication certificate has been updated. On a fresh install, users will be presented with a new interface to generate a certificate after the installer exits. In addition, when the certificate is close to expiration, a message will be shown in the app to indicate renewal is required. Please note that admins who have disabled certificate management will be exempt from these changes. See Duo KB article 8985 for more information.
