    The Symantec VIP product team is currently working on enhancing the Microsoft Credential Provider (MCP) feature. Early access Beta is available now for interested customers who can test the new capabilities and provide their valuable feedback to make the product more robust.

     

    It includes the following enhancements:

    1. Microsoft Credential Provider (MCP) enhancement to support direct to Cloud for authentication to the desktop MFA.

      • Authentication flow goes directly to VIP SaaS for validation to complete the desktop MFA.

      • Eliminating the dependency on Enterprise Gateway (RADIUS protocol) for authentication.

    2. FIDO2 based Security key authentication support

      • This is in addition to the existing supported Universal 2nd Factor (U2F)

    3. Offline Software based OATH OTP credentials support. 

      • In case the VIP SaaS/EG Server is not available, instead of connecting with Helpdesk, offline credential will complete authentication.

    4. Removal of Python scripts



    If you are interested in participating in the Beta Program, please contact the VIP Product Managers ( hemant.kumar@broadcom.om or robert.lindberg@broadcom.com) . Please provide the  VIP tenant identifier (Juristication hash) which you are using to enable the new feature from the server. We will communicate with you directly on how to obtain the new MCP software for evaluation.
