Safeguard Authentication Services 5.0.1 - Release Notes

Safeguard Authentication Services 5.0.1

Safeguard Authentication Services 5.0.1

Release Notes

May 2021

These release notes provide information about the Safeguard Authentication Services 5.0.1 release.

About this release

Safeguard Authentication Services extends the capabilities of UNIX, Linux, and Mac systems to seamlessly and transparently join Active Directory and integrate Unix identities with Active Directory Windows accounts.

Safeguard Authentication Services 5.0.1 is a minor release that includes various bug and stability fixes. See Resolved issues for a list of fixes included in this release.

End of support notice

After careful consideration, One Identity has decided to cease the development of the Management Console for Unix (MCU). Therefore, the MCU will enter limited support for all versions on April 1, 2021. Support for all versions will reach end of life on Nov 1, 2021. For definitions of support, see the Software Product Support Lifecycle Policy.

As One Identity retires the MCU, we are building its feature set into modern platforms starting with Software Distribution and Profiling. Customers that use the MCU to deploy Authentication Services and Safeguard for Sudo can now use our Ansible collections for those products, which can be found at Ansible Galaxy.
