# PingID Integration Kit 2.26 (September 19, 2023)

New features and improvements in PingID Integration Kit 2.26 for PingFederate.

The PingID Integration Kit 2.26 for PingFederate is released with the following components:

| PingID Integration Kit component | Version | Status    |
| -------------------------------- | ------- | --------- |
| **PingID Adapter**               | 2.14    | Unchanged |
| **PingID RADIUS PCV**            | 3.0.4   | New       |
| **PingID SaaS Connector**        | 1.1.1   | Unchanged |

## Direct OTP validation for RADIUS PCV clients

Improved PingID Integration kit for PingFederate

We've added the option to perform OTP validation for RADIUS clients that do not support access-challenge and do not have a Delegate PCV configured.

## PingID properties file encrypted

Improved PingID Integration kit for PingFederate

From RADIUS PCV 3.0.4 and later, the PingID properties file is encrypted after it is uploaded to PingFederate.

|   |                                                                                                                                                                    |
| - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|   | If you are upgrading from an earlier version, to ensure the properties file is encrypted, you need to upload it to the PingID RADIUS PCV instance in PingFederate. |
