These release notes provide information about the One Identity Defender release.
Defender enhances security by using two-factor authentication to authenticate the users who request access to valuable resources within your organization. Defender uses your current identity store within Microsoft® Active Directory® to enable two-factor authentication, taking advantage of its inherent scalability and security, and eliminating the costs and time involved to set up and maintain proprietary databases. Defender’s Web-based administration and user self-service ease the implementation of two-factor authentication for both administrators and users.
See New features.

The following is a list of issues, including those attributed to third-party products, known to exist at the time of release.
| Known Issue | Issue ID |
|---|---|
|
Push notification authentication flows do not work properly on ADFS client. Workaround Push notification can be disabled. Alternatively, user can enter passcode from token manually on passcode field to login. |
406536 |
|
Push notification timeout flows should not fail for EAP with radius proxy when user has more than 2 tokens Workaround Push notification can be disabled for the EAP client. Alternatively, user could be restricted to use only 2 tokens while using push notification with EAP client. If both push notification and more than 3 tokens must be used then user can login by restarting the DSS service and subsequently the authentication process. |
408220 |
|
MS token displays 'Bad response' error after performing reset operation on the token. Workaround: Use OATH Compliant tokens as those are not affected by this issue and are considered counter-based. If user must use Google Authenticator (TOTP) or Microsoft Authenticator (Time based), then they would have to delete the existing token and program a new token. |
401643 |
|
FIDO2 registration and authentication screens do not load when defender is used as proxy and the next requests are rejected. |
394549 |
|
On radius proxy environments certain push notification flows do not work as expected. Workaround: Push notification can be disabled on radius proxy environments to allow authentication using Defender. |
392972 |
|
Defender soft token for OneLogin Protect cannot be activated using the activation code. Workaround: Defender soft token for OneLogin Protect can be activated using the QR code from Defender management portal self service. |
399821 |
|
"Push notification rejected” error is observed for timeout flow on EAP client if user has 3 or more tokens. Workaround: Push notification can be disabled for the EAP client. Alternatively, user could be restricted to use only 2 tokens while using push notification with EAP client. If both push notification and more than 3 tokens must be used then user can login by restarting the authentication process on timeout. |
404010 |
|
Audit trial report does not displays all the data from DSS logs Workaround Logs can be picked from the DSS path or from management portal DSS logs section. |
325245 |

|
When 2012 R2 Server or Windows 8 machine is used to set up DDL component with Soft token for iOS/Android, Resend button and field to enter passcode/ "push" keyword will not be available if push notification times out. The user needs to restart the authentication process by providing username and password. |
298022 |
|
On Hyper V DDL client with Soft token for iOS/Android, certain policies are displaying incorrect message on UI upon push notification timeout if username format used is - "domain\username". Workaround Enter "username" instead of "domain\username" in the user name field. |

TFS366941 |
|
The Token Program wizard in the Defender Administration Console may skip pages and produce errors. This may occur when two or more instances of the Administration Console are running at the same time on the same computer. Workaround Use only a single instance of Defender Administration Console and close the multiple instances. |
TFS417432 |
|
When you assign a token to a user in the Administration Console, the token may fail to immediately appear in the user's list of tokens. Workaround This behavior is due to the replication latency in Active Directory. View the list of tokens after the changes have been replicated. |
TFS417457 |
|
After you change the user's token list in the Management Portal (e.g. assign a token to the user, or unassigning a token), the list of tokens may remain unchanged.

|
TFS421715 |
|
When you use the Defender Integration Pack for ActiveRoles, the Defender license allocation value seen in the ActiveRoles Administration Console may be different from the values in the Defender Administration Console. This may occur in a multi-domain environment when ActiveRoles Server accesses a domain using a domain controller that is not a global catalog. Workaround Use the values in the Defender Administration Console, these are the correct values. |
TFS429274 |
|
When you program mobile software tokens using the Defender Integration Pack for Active Roles, the option to program the tokens in challenge-response mode is available.

TFS431278 |
|
When trying to access a site protected by the Defender ISAPI Agent, you may see the following error: "Calling LoadLibraryEx on ISAPI filter failed." This may occur if the web site protected by the ISAPI Agent is a 32-bit site running on a 64-bit IIS.

TFS441655 |
|
Users who are directly assigned to an access node cannot be moved to a different OU. Workaround Un-assign the user from the access node, move the user, and then assign the user back to the access node. To prevent this issue, assign groups rather than individual users to access nodes. |
TFS452765 |
|
When Defender EAP Agent is used with a VPN connection, the dialog box to enter the token response does not appear. This issue may occur if EAP Agent is installed on a computer running Windows 10 operating system.
