New Features Introduced in November 2022

Learn about the new features released for the Cloud Identity Engine in November 2022.
The following table provides a snapshot of new features introduced for the Cloud Identity Engine app in November 2022. Refer to the Cloud Identity Engine documentation for more information on how to use the Cloud Identity Engine.
FeatureDescription
Support for Spain (ES) and Italy (IT) Regions
The Cloud Identity Engine now supports instances in the Spain (ES) and Italy (IT) 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 are 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.
User Context
User Context for the Cloud Identity Engine provides unparalleled visibility into your user identification and device information (such as tags, quarantine lists, and mappings, which now includes IP-address-to-port number mappings from Terminal Server agents) and provides a simple yet precise way to redistribute that information to other firewalls and devices within your network through segmentation (for example, by region or use case). By enabling the service on your firewall and defining information distribution for your network segments in the Cloud Identity Engine, you can quickly locate critical information and ensure consistent user-based policy enforcement across your network. User Context represents the next expansion of User-ID in a unified interface on the Cloud Identity Engine and presents actionable user identity information at a glance.
Monitor Cloud Identity Engine Status
You can now monitor the status of the Cloud Identity Engine on the firewall associated with the Cloud Identity Engine tenant. For example, if a required certificate for the Cloud Identity Engine expires or a profile is unavailable, the firewall displays a message in the system logs. For more information, refer to Monitor Cloud Identity Engine Status in the Cloud Identity Engine Getting Started guide.
Support for Switzerland (CH) Region
The Cloud Identity Engine now supports instances in the Switzerland (CH) region for customers who must store the data synced from their directories in this region to comply with data regulation requirements. For more information on how to configure this region, refer to Regional Data Storage Requirements in the Cloud Identity Engine System Requirements. If you are 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.
