### Authenticate user through Kerberos

New PingOne Connector

You can use the new [PingOne Connector](../../p1_connector.html) **Authenticate User Via Kerberos** capability to authenticate Active Directory users seamlessly through the Kerberos protocol.

### Added capabilities for device authorization

New PingOne Authentication Connector

The following capabilities have been added to the [PingOne Authentication Connector](../../p1_authentication_connector.html) to allow for device authorization:

* **Verify User Code (Device Auth Flows)**

* **Authorize User Code (Device Auth Flows)**

* **Decline User Code (Device Auth Flows)**

### Added RequestedAuthnContext for SAML external IdPs

New PingOne Authentication Connector

The [PingOne Authentication Connector](../../p1_authentication_connector.html) **Sign On with External Identity Provider** capability now includes the following fields:

* **Requested Authentication Context**

* **Authentication Context Reference**

You can now select whether to pass the requested authentication context using the `AuthnContextClassRef` or the `AuthnContextDeclRef` based on your agreement with the SAML IdP.
