The Symantec VIP team is pleased to announce that updates to the Symantec VIP integration plugin for Microsoft Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) are released.
What's new with this update:
This version of Microsoft AD FS plugin includes:
- Support for G2 and G3 SSL root certificates.
- Platform support updates, including certification with Windows Server 2022.
- Technical upgrades and security improvements.
This upgrade is currently optional, and prepares the integrations for future improvements. There are no impacts for you at this time.
However, once VIP migrates to the G2 and G3 root CAs, versions of the Microsoft AD FS integration prior to 9.9.1 will no longer function. To avoid service interruptions, you must upgrade to the latest version of this plugin before the migration occurs (tentatively scheduled for March 2025).
Symantec will continue to keep you informed throughout the migration process, to allow you time to plan for and integrate the plugin.
You can download the integration module software packages for the latest versions of the Microsoft Active Directory Federation Services Plugin from VIP Manager ( Account > Download Files > Third_Party_Integrations > Plugins ).
For more information refer to the product documentation at Symantec VIP Integration with Microsoft ADFS or download the PDF version at Symantec VIP Integration Guide for Microsoft Active Directory Federation Services.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your support representatives.
Sincerely,
The Symantec VIP team
