## August 27

### Added the ability to block redirects in Make REST API Call nodes

Improved HTTP Connector

In the [HTTP Connector](../http_connector.html) **Make REST API Call** capability, the new **Block Redirects** option allows you to enhance the security of the flow by preventing the browser from automatically following redirects. When a redirect is attempted, an error occurs instead.

## August 19

### Authenticate User via Kerberos

New PingOne Connector

The [PingOne Connector](../p1_connector.html) **Authenticate User via Kerberos** capability now supports additional gateway and user type pairs. The ability to add multiple sets of gateway and user types help support large enterprises with multiple domains who need to validate Kerberos tokens.
