NEW:Windows Delivery Optimization (DO) Policy

Feature: Devices

We’ve optimized network performance with smart P2P technology for Windows updates. Instead of every device downloading the same assets individually, a single machine can now securely share update files with other local peers.

• Saves Bandwidth: Stops the office internet from slowing down on "Patch Tuesday" !!!
• Speeds up Deployment: Updates and apps install much faster because they are pulled from local peers.
• Complements Windows Patching: This is the perfect partner for our Windows Patch Management and Patch Dashboard. While the dashboard tells them which devices need updates, this policy ensures those updates download efficiently without crashing the network.

See Windows Delivery Optimization (DO) Policy to learn more.

ENHANCEMENT: Modernized Commands Experience

Feature: Commands

We’ve updated the entire Commands page to make it easier and more reliable to create, edit, and manage commands at scale. The new experience replaces the old side drawer view with a full-page Commands workflow.

• The previous side drawer for creating and editing commands is now a full-page view.
• This gives you more room to work with longer scripts, additional options, and more complex configurations, all in a single layout. 

See Create a Command to learn more.

 You will also see a refreshed Commands List page with clearer spacing and hierarchy, making it easier to scan commands, understand their purpose, and review key details at a glance.

ENHANCEMENT: Support for Notification-Only Rules in Alerting

Feature: Device Monitoring and Alerting

ENHANCEMENT: Granular Attribute Filtering for Directory Insights Event Monitoring Rule

SAML SSO MFA Configuration

Admins can now configure a SAML SSO integration to send the MFA Claim in the AuthnContext within the SAML assertion, providing verifiable proof of MFA. This change helps customers meet strict access requirements for high-security applications like Salesforce, PayPal, and Epic/Impravata while eliminating no access or the "double MFA" friction for end-users.

• MFA Configuration Section: New section in SAML SSO integrations featuring a read-only AMR option and a selectable AuthContext sub-section
• Flexible Mapping Modes: 3 options for how the MFA claim will be sent in the AuthnContext
• Custom Factor Mapping Table: A new mapping table for mappingJumpCloud-supported factors (such as Push or TOTP) to specific strings, URLs, or URNs required by the SP
  Full API Support: Configuration for these claims can be doe via the API

See SSO using Custom SAML Application Connectors to learn more.

Windows Users Can Now Preserve Credentials After Remote Password Changes
We’ve introduced a new password sync flow on Windows devices to preserve the Credential Manager and related application access after remote or off-device password resets. 

• For the best experience, we recommend users reset their password directly in the JumpCloud Tray App on their device. 
• If users reset their password off-device (for example in the User Portal or Admin Portal) they are prompted on their next login to sync their previous and current passwords. This preserves saved credentials and access to Windows applications. 
• This change is being rolled out in phases and may not be immediately available in your organization.

See Manage Windows Password to learn more.

Advanced OIDC Configuration Settings
A new Advanced Settings section is available for OIDC SSO applications, giving IT admins granular control over session security and token architecture. This update enables per-app customization of token lifetimes, token formats (JWT vs. Opaque), and audience scoping, allowing customers to meet strict compliance mandates and complex integration requirements without relying on global system defaults.

• Granular Token Lifetimes: Admins can now manually set distinct expiration windows for ID, Access, and Refresh tokens within validated ranges (from 10 minutes up to 90 days).
• Access Token Strategy: A new toggle allows admins to choose between Opaque and JWT formats for access tokens to ensure compatibility with any resource server.
• Additional Audience Configuration: Support for up to 5 additional access token audiences to facilitate complex microservices integrations or to specify the target API to receive the access token as part of the audience claim.

See SSO with OIDC to learn more.

NEW: Timed Access Requests are here!

Feature: Access Requests

We have now added timed access to our Access Requests feature. Using this, admins can configure workflows to allow users to request access for a specific duration (one day, 15 days, 30 days, and so on). 

You can now replace permanent permissions with timed access to ensure users have the right level of permissions exactly when they need it—and never longer.

See Manage Approval Flows to learn more.
