This patch update for SocialAccess includes various operating system security updates.
When a user first logs in to an app that supports social logins and then accesses a site that does not support social logins in the same session, SocialAccess no longer returns the user to the login page without displaying an error message. When the user enters valid credentials for the second app, the login succeeds. (Bug 984485)
This patch update requires an existing installation of one of the following versions of SocialAccess:
2.3 Service Pack 1 (2.3.1-7)
2.3.1 Hotfix 2 (2.3.1-13)
