  • Except for SAML2 users (refer to the information below), no specific changes need to be made to your existing configuration for the upgrade. However, we highly recommend testing your current systems, such as RADIUS access, ADFS (Active Directory Federated Services), or Windows Login Manager, using the preview system prior to the upgrade.
  • To conduct the test, simply modify the SurePassID MFA Server endpoint from https://cloud.surepassid.com (or https://cloud2.surepassid.com) to the new address: https://mfa-preview.surepassid.com.
  • If your organization has outbound firewalls/proxy servers to SurePassID, you will need to add the following to your outbound firewall rules/proxy servers:

•  We expect the system to be unavailable for an hour. If you experience any problems following the upgrade, please reach out to our support team promptly. 
• Important note for SAML2 users. Once the upgrade is complete, the new version will require you to log in to your SurePassID account, create a brand new SAML2 certificate, and integrate it into your SAML2 applications like Google Workspaces, Secret Server, Password Keeper, and more. If you would like our support team to assist you with this process, please open a ticket in our Customer Support Portal.
