New Features Introduced in February 2025

Learn more information about the new features for the Cloud Identity Engine that were introduced in the February 2025 release.
The following table provides a snapshot of new features introduced for the Cloud Identity Engine app in February 2025. Refer to the Cloud Identity Engine documentation for more information on how to use the Cloud Identity Engine.
FeatureDescription
CIE DirectoryYou can now configure a local user directory for the Cloud Identity Engine by configuring a CIE Directory. You can quickly set up a directory, add users, and even generate passwords for those users.
The CIE Directory allows you to quickly set up a user directory for demonstration purposes, proof of value, and create users on an as-needed basis, or add users without configuring an identity provider (IdP)
By providing a new method to add users in the Cloud Identity Engine, the CIE Directory allows even more deployment possibilities and faster startup time.
CSV Group Filter Upload for Azure Active Directory
If you use Azure AD GraphAPI Filtering and filter which groups the Cloud Identity Engine collects during a sync, you can now upload a comma-separated value (.CSV) file to more easily specify which groups you want to filter.
This saves significant amounts of time and prevents manual mistakes when entering information, freeing up your admins to work on other more critical tasks for your network.
IP-Tag Cloud Connection Region Selection for Google CloudIf you are configuring an IP-Tag Cloud Connection for Google Cloud, you can now select the region you want to use when you test the connection.
JWT Encryption Algorithm for OIDCIf you use OIDC for authentication, you can now select which encryption algorithm you want to use for the JSON web token (JWT). The encryption algorithm encrypts the data as it traverses the network as a best practice. By default, the Cloud Identity Engine uses the RS256 algorithm but you can select from a number of different options.
