Admins are now able to inject an artificial delay before sending a login failure response, in order to mitigate online password guessing attacks. Improved password strength can also be achieved by checking passwords against an additional 10,000 entries in PingDirectory’s password validator, which can now check for capitalization, reversed passwords and more. For increased visibility, admins can now track login successes and failures by user.

This early access release enables admins to protect PingDirectory from password guessing attacks, expands the dictionary password validator including the ability to run periodic password validation, and adds a user’s login histories to log data. Additionally, admins can now manipulate and filter reports in PingDirectory before downloading to a CSV file.

Admins can now launch server profiles as a recurring task using the admin console instead of connecting to containers, creating more consistent deployments and enhancing DevOps automation. New delegated administration features further simplify user management by enabling delegated account management access during user account creation, group management, resource management, and onboarding new tenants.

To further simplify the IAM workflow, Delegated User Administration has added configuration capabilities to support more directory data layouts. Admins, when using LDAP groups instead of organizations to group their customers' users, can now delegate adding new users to those existing customer groups. Note: this is an early release, please contact your account manager to sign up.
