New Features In This Release:

Identity Analytics

This release introduces Business Intelligence dashboards for process managers in the organization, which provide statistics and Service Level Agreement (SLA) information about existing identity processes and requests in the system. These dashboards enable the managers to take a deep look into processes, analyze them and their workflows, and identify any potential issues that can be remediated in order to optimally meet the desired service levels.

Access Certification Enhancements

Working closely with our customers, this release includes a comprehensive redesign of the Access Certification user interface focusing on improving productivity and ease of use, especially for large organizations. The two primary design goals of this effort are:

• Reduce the typical number of steps (i.e. user interaction "clicks" or page refreshes) needed to accomplish access certification activities.
• Personalize the experience to better support various levels of end-user sophistication.

Support for CA Business Intelligence (CABI) 6.2

This release includes the introduction of CABI 6.2. CABI 6.2 is based on the JasperReports® reporting engine and provides an easy to configure and use platform for generating reports for both CA Identity Manager and CA Identity Governance. Please note that for existing customers, the legacy CABI 4.x reporting platform (based on SAP Business Object 4.x) will continue to be supported. A separate announcement on this topic was published at the support.ca.com site here:

CA Identity Portal Enhanced Mobile Support

The demand for Identity on-the-go and providing identity services for the mobile-user community has dramatically changed in past few years. The first generation identity mobile applications focused on providing access to basic functions such as password rests and workflow approvals. However, today we are seeing the demand to deliver a comprehensive set of identity capabilities to cover very similar use cases as the desktop experience.

This release includes the completion of a roadmap to expose most of the Identity services in a mobile optimized way. This includes support for customer branding for the mobile web application, access request, and dynamic modules all available from mobile devices in an optimized presentation to the form-factor of the device.

Access Request Suggestions Engine

The success of access request processes rely on the ability to empower the business users and ensure they are self-sufficient and can quickly and safely request the access they need for their business. CA Identity Portal already includes a set of rich advice tools to streamline the user experience in access requests, including tools such as an embedded real-time risk simulator.

This release introduces a new advice tool called Suggestions Engine. The Suggestions Engine provides the end-user with real-time, context-aware recommendations for inclusion in the access request shopping-cart. The recommendations are based on a number of elements: who is the user (e.g. user is in department "Finance"), what a user currently has (e.g. user has the "Expense Approval" entitlement), and which items are in the current virtual shopping cart. The recommendations are displayed in a similar way as done in many consumer commerce sites, providing a non-disruptive and enriched experience where users can accept, reject or ignore the recommendations.

Voluntary Product Accessibility Test (VPAT) in support of Section 508 and WCAG2.0

CA has evaluated CA Identity Portal for compliance with the requirements of Section 508 of the US Rehabilitation Act ("Section 508") and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines ("WCAG2.0"). CA Identity Portal addresses many of the Section 508 and WCAG2.0 requirements, as set forth in CA's VPAT for CA Identity Portal.

CA Advanced Authentication enhanced support

This release includes the following enhancements to the integration with CA Advanced Authentication:

• Certification for CA Advanced Authentication 8.1
• Support for step-up authentication on access approvals (from the CA Identity Portal).

Windows 10 Support

Support for Windows 10 user clients. The support includes certification of the Windows 10 Edge browser and update to the CA Identity Suite Windows Credential Provider to support Windows 10 requirements.

CA Identity Portal Database support

CA Identity Portal added support for Oracle 12c and Microsoft SQL 2014.
