Resolved Issues and Behavior Changes

 

The following list records issues resolved in this release and behavior changes.

  

• In 17.6 and earlier, when syncing groups for Office 365 provisioning they were incorrectly synched to a depth of 2. When the sync traverses to the second level, immutable IDs were not properly mapped for migrated users and this could cause group sync to fail, depending on timing. From 17.7 sub-groups are no longer synced unless explicitly included for sync (CC-48105).
• In the Box provisioning page, the option “Allow personal folder to be synced by Box clients” has been renamed to “Sync all personal folders to admin’s desktop via Box Sync”. The function of this option has not changed, but the label has been changed to better reflect the functionality (CC-47392).
• External CA revocation checks are now performed on a per-CA chain basis (CC-48358).
• IWA now works for the Ring Central desktop app (CC-48942).
• Sha256, sha384 and sha512 have been added as options for the algorithm and digest method for encrypted keys in SAML apps (CC-48526).
• Custom CBE internal apps now function correctly on iOS devices after the built-in browser’s cache is cleared (CC-48007).
• An issue was resolved where Connectors could not reach Active Directory domain controllers. The issue was caused by a failure to retrieve the distinguished name of the NTDS settings object from a domain controller running in Windows 2008 Domain Mode. Any registry changes implemented during 17.6 to work around this issue should be removed with this new release (CISSUP-3178, CISSUP-3180).
• Connectors will now connect to any available domain controller if the Connector does not belong to any site (CC-48052).
• Active Directory per-user customization (for example, OATH tokens) are no longer removed when a Connector is removed (CC-49334).
• The correct license type for Office 365 ProPlus is now shown in the license summary, previously it would show “officesubscription” (CC-48528).
• IWA now succeeds with the Ring Central desktop app when configured for single sign-on (CC-48942).
