🚀 RELEASE NOTES

🛡️ Trimble Identity

🔐 Security & Compliance

• Enhanced Session Control: SSO now automatically clears existing session cookies whenever an authorization request explicitly includes prompt=login.
• Secure Single Logout (SLO): Introduced full support for Service Provider-Initiated (SP-Initiated) SAML SLO with TID as the Identity Provider (IdP) to ensure users are securely logged out.
• Stronger Web Security: Enabled HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) in the Production environment to enforce secure, encrypted connections.
• Routine Maintenance: Successfully completed the annual mTLS certificate rotation and updated the Truststore, resolving validation issues within IAM mTLS.
• Smoother Token Revocation: Simplified the refresh token revocation process for basic PKCE flows by removing redundant authentication checks.
