The Summer 2020 RapidIdentity update is the first release of the year and includes enhancements, such as:

• Password Blacklist Screening: If enabled, this feature uses an API-open service to screen new passwords against a database provided by Have I Been Pwned to determine if a password has been revealed in past data breaches and if so, notifies the user to select a different password.
• Scheduled Entitlements: This new feature aligns with Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) change management best practices to enable users to request entitlements for a future date/time. While privileged access can be granted in advance, RapidIdentity does not execute the provisioning workflow until the specified date/time. This process can also seamlessly integrate with change management systems for complete automation.
• FIPS Compliance Certification: While previously Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) compliant, a set of computer system security standards set by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), RapidIdentity is now FIPS certified.
• Enhanced QwickAccess IGEL Shared Sessions: QwickAccess users can now login to shared instances of Hyperspace via Citrix on a kiosk workstation, enabling clinicians to use the same device through a generic account. Users then authenticate to the shared Hyperspace instance using their individual user accounts. This enhancement enables a single IGEL device to be used by more clinicians, without compromising security and auditability.
• QR Code Branding: This feature gives school districts more personalization capabilities in QR codes, such as customized colors, font, and text for QR codes and QRC badges.
• New Integration Support for Epic: Identity Automation now supports the connection from RapidIdentity Automated Lifecycle Management to Epic EMR to push identity lifecycle updates.
• Added Thin Client Support: The RapidIdentity Summer 2020 update also includes new QwickAccess support for HP ThinPro 7.1.
