  | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
  |   | The `vip-adapter-security-code-challenge.war` directory is no longer in use. If you created a `.war` file to make customizations to this directory previously, you can re-implement your changes with the new HTML templates after upgrading the adapter. |

* Fixed an issue that allowed users without any configured credentials to attempt to authenticate, leading to a dead end in the authentication flow.

  |   |                                                                                                                  |
  | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
  |   | This issue was applicable if the **Suppress Add Credential** checkbox was selected in the adapter configuration. |

## Symantec VIP integration kit 1.8.1 – February 2024

* Fixed an issue that caused failures if a temporary code was used.

## Symantec VIP integration kit 1.8 – July 2023

* Added two new exposed attributes in the adapter contract, `credential_type` and `credential_id`. You can use these attributes to do branching logic in PingFederate authentication policies.

  * `credential_type` specifies the type of credential used to sign on to Symantec VIP.

  * `credential_id` specifies the credential ID used to sign on to Symantec VIP.

## Symantec VIP integration kit 1.7.1 – March 2023
