The 2021.1 release brings the following features: Health Checks and the possibility to enable users to be automatically redirected to SAML IdP.
Health ChecksThe new Health Checks section allows you to check the database entries' consistency. Go to
Admin Menu > Maintenance > Health Checks, start a test, and then run repairs. You can check whether all unique XIDs have equal or less than one active version. In the future, the Health Checks section will be expanded with additional options for checking the consistency of the database. For more information, see the
Maintenance help page.
See the following
short video demonstration about Health Checks.
SAML: Automatically Redirect to IDP when Logging In As an admin, you can enable users to be automatically redirected from the Connect login page to SAML IdP. You can set this option only for one SAML. Go to
Admin Menu > Settings > Single Sign-On and check the
Automatically redirect to IDP when logging in box while adding a new SAML option or edit the existing one. For more information, see the
Settings help page.
