New features, enhancements, and other improvements

Duo Universal Prompt now available for public preview

• You can now enable the Duo Universal Prompt for supported applications via the Duo Admin Panel and Duo Admin API. Review your Universal Prompt Update Progress report in the Admin Panel to see which applications in your environment are ready to support the new prompt experience.
• The Universal Prompt is a visual and technical redesign of the authentication experience for web-based applications that display the current Duo Prompt in browsers, as well as select thick-client applications that use single sign-on. The Universal Prompt is designed to improve the end-user experience, as well as offer enhanced customization, improved web accessibility, support for more languages, and additional security benefits.

New and updated applications

Active Directory Domain Services with Duo Device Health now generally available

• Released a new version of Duo’s Trusted Endpoints for Active Directory integration that eliminates the reliance on endpoint certificates to determine whether a domain-joined computer is trusted.
• The certificate-less solution instead uses the Duo Device Health application to more accurately gauge an endpoint’s status across more browsers and thick client applications.

Change to Microsoft Intune for Trusted Endpoints API permissions

• Customers with an existing Microsoft Intune for Trusted Endpoints integration for iOS or Windows need to update their API permissions in order to continue successfully provisioning Duo device certificates.
• This change was prompted by an update to Microsoft’s required permissions for third-party certificate authorities with SCEP.
• If you are setting up a new Intune integration or updating an existing integration, follow the updated steps in the Admin Panel on the Intune application configuration page.
