We are excited to announce the latest enhancements to the NetActuate portal, designed to improve security, streamline operations, and enhance automation for our users.

One of the standout features of this release is Okta/SAML Integration, which enables seamless single sign-on (SSO) and secure identity federation. By integrating with Okta and other SAML-based identity providers, organizations can now manage user access centrally, ensuring enhanced security and compliance while simplifying login workflows for their teams.

Additionally, we’ve made significant BGP Session Management Enhancements to support more dynamic and flexible networking configurations. Users can now automatically join ECMP (Equal-Cost Multi-Path) groups, optimizing traffic flow across multiple routes for greater redundancy and performance. Our new self-service interface allows users to quickly turn up or tear down BGP sessions for their workers, reducing deployment times and making on-demand scaling and reconfiguration easier than ever.

To support secure automation workflows, we’ve introduced a powerful new Secrets Manager within the portal. This feature allows users to securely store and manage sensitive data, such as API keys, credentials, and configuration details, which can be passed directly to virtual machines via cloud-init. Additionally, these secrets are accessible through our REST API, enabling seamless integration into automated pipelines for improved DevOps efficiency.

These new capabilities underscore our commitment to delivering a secure, scalable, and user-friendly platform that empowers our customers to achieve their business goals with greater agility and confidence.
