Customers can now fortify user authentication and streamline access management in SOTI Connect by integrating with Active Directory and LDAP.

SOTI Connect is now integrated with Cloud Link, extending its communication capabilities to reach customer resources behind firewalls, with the current focus on supporting ADCS. This integration empowers Connect to access and utilize critical resources efficiently, offering customers with an extended feature set for a more comprehensive device management solution.
Responding to customer usage scenarios, we have implemented several enhancements to improve the user experience. Firstly, Individual Automation Rules have been updated to support multiple device types, offering greater adaptability compared to the previous limitation of a single device type. Additionally, we made a modification to ensure that when an Automatic Group Mapping is deleted, devices will not be automatically removed from the group. This change allows users to maintain their device organization within respective groups even after the deletion of an Automatic Group Mapping.
This release features several minor enhancements designed to improve the overall SOTI Connect experience:
