End-of-life notification
This section contains notifications for upcoming termination of apps, features or programmatic access (APIs):
- Action Required – TLS 1.0 Deprecation
As part of our mission to protect customers and align with PCI DSS standards, Centrify updated the minimum TLS protocol required to connect to the Centrify Cloud Platform from TLS 1.0 to TLS 1.1 as of 18.5. TLS 1.0 support will be deprecated when Centrify Cloud 18.6 is released. Connectors running on machines with Windows Server 2008 R2 or older must upgrade the Connector to version 18.5 prior to the release of Centrify Cloud 18.6 to avoid potential disruptions. Please see this knowledge base article for important details.

Resolved Issues and Behavior Changes
The following list records issues resolved in this release and behavior changes.
- A new policy has been added for default message language. By default, the language used is the message sender’s language setting (i.e. the language setting for the administrator that caused the message to be sent), but that can be overridden to a specific language by setting the policy (CC-51721).
- Advanced script capabilities have been added to all SAML applications, previously this was only available on some SAML applications (CC-55466).
- When enrolling devices, if PKI certificates are defined by Active Directory group policy to be downloaded, three certificates are now sent: root CA, user CA and issuing CA. This matches the behavior when PKI certificates are defined in a cloud policy (CC-57705).
- An error is no longer shown when a user with read-only management right enters the Partner Management page (CC-58426).
- Emailed reports no longer show an error if a relative date type is set (CC-57562).
- Network unavailable is no longer shown on an iOS device using Safari when launching a bookmark app that has a mobile authenticator profile, with the MFA approval step on the same device (CC-58453).
- Phone numbers for newly enrolled Android devices are now correctly shown in the Admin Portal (CC-58622).
- Resolved an issue whereby some iOS native apps would continuously prompt for update due to two different version numbers inside the app (CC-58652).
- Administrators can now block access from the Centrify mobile app to various domains in the firewall policy for Android devices. Individual domains can be blocked in the domain deny rules – denying all will still allow the mobile app to access the Centrify cloud (CC-58029).
