Feature
Description
Cloud Dynamic User Groups
Cloud Dynamic User Groups
allow you to create flexible groups that can quickly adapt their
membership to match attribute changes that you define. You can even
combine attributes to further refine the group membership, making
creation of user-based rules even more granular and extensible.
Cloud Dynamic User Groups also allow you to instantly assign users
to On Demand groups, which are custom static groups where the group
membership remains the same until you manually make changes.
SCIM Connector for Okta
Configuring the System for Cross-Domain Identity Management (SCIM) protocol for
Directory Sync in the Cloud Identity Engine allows you to customize
which attributes and groups Directory Sync collects from your Okta
Directory server. You can specify the attributes that you want to
share with the Cloud Identity Engine by adding or removing the
attributes in the Okta Directory management console.
Support for China (CN) and Poland (PL) Regions
The Cloud Identity Engine now supports instances in the China (CN)
and Poland (PL) regions for customers who must store the data synced
from their directories in either of these regions to comply with
data regulation requirements. For more information on how to
configure these regions, refer to Regional Data Storage Requirements
in the Cloud Identity Engine System Requirements. If you're using a
Cloud Identity agent, refer to Configure the Cloud Identity
Agent. If you use the Cloud Identity Engine for
authentication, refer to Configure the Cloud Identity
Engine in an Authentication Profile.
