This release introduces the following enhancement:
The Delete old endpoint device and update endpoint last session option has been added in the Replica options policy that allows the Advanced Authentication server to reuse the existing device instead of deleting it and does not update the last session’s login time of the endpoints. This option prevents any new conflicts related to the endpoints.
For more information about the Delete old endpoint device and update endpoint last session option, see Replica options
in the Advanced Authentication Installation and Upgrade guide.
Advanced Authentication 5.6 Patch Update 5 includes the following software fix:
