PingID Administration Guide

PingID SSH Integration 4.2.0 (December 21, 2021)

Enhancements

Obfuscation of use_base64_key field in PingID properties file

When installing the SSH integration from source files, there is now an option to specify that the use_base64_key field in the PingID properties file should be obfuscated, rather than leaving it as a plain text file. To use this option, include the --with-obfuscation switch when running the configuration utility. For details, see Installing PingID SSH using source files.

Offline MFA

There is now an option to enable offline MFA for situations where the PingID MFA service is unavailable. For details, see Enabling offline MFA in SSH integration.

Support for additional releases

The PingID integration with SSH can now be installed on Debian 10 and Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04, and 20.04.
