The following section outline the key features and functions provided by this version, as well as issues resolved in this release.
When the connector for Office 365 was updated in CloudAccess 3.0, only browser-based Office 365 logins worked. Access was unavailable through fat or thick clients, such as Lync/Skype for Business and mobile native apps. In this version, all logins work as expected. (Bug 1007109)
In this version, internal framework components have been updated to support future releases, and several minor bugs have been addressed.
You can install this version in a new environment, or you can update an existing system from CloudAccess 3.0 through the update channel. Updates from versions prior to CloudAccess 3.0 through the update channel are not supported.
For detailed information about hardware requirements and supported operating systems and browsers, see Installing the Appliance
in the CloudAccess Installation and Configuration Guide.

You can update a CloudAccess 3.0 appliance to this version only through the update channel. For more information, see Updating the Appliance

NetIQ Corporation strives to ensure our products provide quality solutions for your enterprise software needs. The following issues are currently being researched. If you need further assistance with any issue, please contact Technical Support.
Issue: If you want to change the preferred DNS server, you must select Use the following IP address in Step 1 on the initialization page, which assigns a static IP address to the appliance. (Bug 754137)
Workaround: After the initialization process completes, on the Admin page, change the IP address from static to DHCP.
Issue: Account provisioning is not supported for the users in the SAML 2.0 Inbound unmanaged internal identity store. Because these users do not have a workforceID, they cannot be provisioned for or access the SaaS applications that depend on the workforceID attribute for authentication, such as Google Apps and Salesforce. (Bug 883446)
Workaround: To access the SaaS applications, the user must log in with the corporate identity that has a workforceID attribute.
Issue: User email address changes in Active Directory are not provisioned to Salesforce. (Bug 717153)
Workaround: No workaround is available at this time.
Issue: If you assign a user to a role in CloudAccess and then remove that user from the identity source, CloudAccess does not automatically remove the role assignment. If the user's context in the identity source is later restored, CloudAccess shows that user as having the same role that was previously assigned. (Bug 765609)
Workaround: To work around this issue, before you remove a user in the identity source, ensure that you have revoked all roles from that user on the Roles page in CloudAccess.
Issue: After you delete connectors, reports still contain information about the deleted connectors. (Bug 756690)
Workaround: No workaround is available at this time.
Issue: The numeric value in the mapping report appears after deleting and recreating mappings for connectors. (Bug 753321)
Workaround: No workaround is available at this time.
Issue: You have configured the Advanced Authentication Framework method to work with Advanced Authentication Framework 4.2. After completing the configuration, you try to authenticate with an Advanced Authentication Framework method and it fails.
Workaround: The Advanced Authentication Framework changed with the 5.2 and later releases. You must manually enable endpoints on the Advanced Authentication Framework system to make authentications work.
To configure endpoints in the Advanced Authentication Framework administration console:
Log in to the administration console for Advanced Authentication Framework as an administrator.
From the left navigation pane, click Endpoints.
Select the Endpoint41 endpoint.
Click the Pencil to edit the endpoint, then enable the endpoint.
Save your changes.
Authentications through the Advanced Authentication Framework methods now work.
Issue: CloudAccess does not currently allow a single user to save credentials for more than 25-30 Basic SSO connectors. When this maximum is reached, the browser extension still prompts to store credentials, but when the user returns to the site, the credentials are not replayed. When the user attempts to log in again manually, the extension again prompts for the credentials. Different users logging in to the same workstation can still save new credentials. In addition, users who have reached the maximum can still replay credentials that they previously saved. (Bug 994483)
Workaround: No workaround is available at this time.
