By now you have probably seen the Support announcement indicating that 14.7 is coming this weekend! This is a big release filled with many features that simplify and improve the product. The complete list of features was summarized in the Support email; but, let me give some additional color to the following:
Improved Usability Features
Our focus for this release has been to greatly improve the user experience for the administrator, starting with the first time experience for a new administrator. With 14.7, when a sysadmin logs into Cloud Manager, he / she will be presented with a Quick Start Wizard that was designed to enable the admin to quickly setup their tenant. This wizard can be run at any time and can be used in fully deployed environments. The wizard enables you to do the following:
If you are using Centrify for mobile device management, I’d suggest you run the wizard and see how easy it is to update your APNS certificate for your iOS devices. In building the wizard, we streamlined and simplified the process for adding mobile apps to push out to your users’ devices. That UI has also been added to the core product under “Apps.” In both places, adding mobile apps is done by simply searching for the app by name and clicking “add.”
Added Provisioning Capabilities
User provisioning is an area where we continue to invest. To that end, I'm happy to announce we have added user provisioning support for 4 more apps:
In addition, we have improved the Office 365 + Provisioning app as follows:
Enhanced Active Directory Integration
At Centrify, we pride ourselves in our deep knowledge of, and support for, AD. To that end, we've added two new features to better support User Suite deployments leveraging Active Directory:
I hope you see value in these new features, and look forward to hearing your feedback. Enjoy!
