Dectar announces the release of version 7.4.0 of ACSIA SOS, a major release that significantly enhances authentication capabilities and overall security.
This update marks a key milestone with the transition from our proprietary Identity Provider (IDP) to Keycloak, a leading open-source solution for identity and access management.

New Features in v7.4.0

1. Transition to Keycloak Open ID Provider

The adoption of Keycloak introduces support for industry-standard authentication protocols, ensuring seamless and secure integration:

OpenID Connect (OIDC): Provides a modern, lightweight authentication framework built on OAuth 2.0.
LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol): Simplifies integration with your organization’s existing directory for user management. -> Available only for on-premises version of ACSIA SOS

2. Default Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

To strengthen account security, Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) will now be enabled by default.

All users will secure their accounts with authentication apps like Authy or Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator.
This additional layer of protection ensures better security for user accounts.

Important Post-Update Information

1. Password Reset Required

For security reasons, existing passwords cannot be migrated to the new system.

After the update, all users must reset their passwords to comply with the new authentication framework. Watch this video for a step-by-step guide.
