PingFederate v6.2 and Google Apps Connector v2.0.1 are now available for download. 

PingFederate 6.2 - New Audit Log

PingFederate 6.2 expands capabilities targeting the operational aspects of managing and monitoring PingFederate in Enterprise deployments.   This version improves upon the scripting interface (also known as the configcopy tool) for automating migration and deployment activities, as well as expands our existing logging capability with the addition of an Audit log.  This new log is focused specifically on capturing information which answers the typical Auditor questions, who accessed what application, from where and when did they access it…for cloud based applications.

For additional details on version 6.2 of PingFederate, refer to the Release Notes.

Google Connector v2.0.1 - New Mobile Client Support

The new Google Connector 2.0.1 incorporates additional capabilities in support of Gmail provisioning, as well as the addition of support for mobile and desktop clients.  This version adds the ability to provision Groups from your on-premise LDAP directory to Google and synchronize the membership of those Groups based on user membership in the directory.  Support for mobile and desktop clients is enabled by creation of a ”secure passcode” that can be stored in the client as the user’s password.

New GoogleApps SaaS Connector Features:

• Support for mobile and desktop clients:  This version includes a web application that allows a user to retrieve a ”secure passcode” to be used with mobile and desktop clients.   Once retrieved, the user stores this “secure passcode” in the mobile or desktop client software as a long-term credential.  Browser based Single Sign-On is not affected, and LDAP passwords remain secure behind the firewall.
  

• User Account Management Updates: GoogleApps user account management has been enhanced to provide more robust support for Groups and Group membership.  Google user account management will now provision Groups contained in the authoritative LDAP directory, including creation and deletion of Groups as necessary.  In addition, Group membership will be synchronized, adding, deleting or updating users as changes take place in the on-premise LDAP directory.  GoogleApps Groups provide a convenient way to email a list of users and control user access to Sites, Docs, Calendar, and more.
