MA 24.4 Release Notes

Date: September 30, 2024

Highlights

If a Mac Authenticator checks in with the TruU Platform and the computer (the Mac itself) or an account (a particular user enrolled on the Mac) has been deleted from the Admin Console the Mac Authenticator will properly remove the existing enrollment(s) from the Mac.

The enrollment wizard welcome screen has been updated to simply include a text screen with no images to present a cleaner first impression.

We have improved the security of the Mac Authenticator to make sure that all communication with the TruU platform goes through a trusted Identity Server and cannot be intercepted through a man-in-the-middle attack.
- NOTE: due to this change, customers must be using a 24.164 (or higher) Identity Server to use the new Mac Authenticator.

Fixed an issue that prevented Touch ID setup from being included when using Setup Assistant when installed TruU through ADE.
Fixed an issue that would occasionally prevent use of the PIN after computer sleeps.
Fixed issue where Mac policy prevents use of TruU by disallowing a smart card. TruU now updates the system’s smart card preferences to allow the use of a smart card so that TruU can unlock the computer.
Fixed issue to prevent entering a null PIN to prevent lockouts in the event that an empty PIN is submitted repeatedly.
Improved interoperability with Apple Keychain for PIN creation and use.
Removed blank dialog box that would appear in the profile setup prior to desktop login during ADE enrollment.

Ticket Number	Component	Summary
MA-210	PIN Reset	After changing PIN, the screen may flicker between a message to Enter PIN / Enter Password for a few seconds.
MA-284	Misc.	OS upgrade may lead to a “SmartCard initialization error”. Rebooting the computer will resolve this issue if it occurs.
MA-369	Misc.	When using Jamf to setup the Mac and TruU through ADE, if the TruU software has not been fully installed before Jamf finishes the setup prior to TruU, the use will be presented with a username and password screen instead of our enrollment wizard. If this happens, the device must be reset for the user to proceed with the TruU enrollment.
