New Features & Enhancements
Mutation API Supports Optimized PoP Selection for Socket Sites: We updated the addSocketSite mutation API to include the optional City field, which improves the accuracy of Cato’s automatic PoP selection mechanism.
In the siteLocation argument, define the city for the Socket site
Use the entityLookup query to search for a list of cities
The City field is already available in the Cato Management Application
User Awareness Identifies SCIM-Provisioned Users in Azure AD Hybrid Join: The Cato Identity Agent can now identify SCIM-provisioned users behind a site when using Microsoft Azure AD hybrid join. No SDP license is required for the Identity Agent.
Previously, SCIM-provisioned users using Azure AD hybrid join required an SDP license and one-time authentication
No action is required for users to be identified by the Identity Agent
Supported from Windows Client v5.9 and higher
