Resource Sets now available

Many organizations have certain security requirements that specify which resources should be managed by a group. To address these security needs, Aembit has released a new Resource Sets feature that enables you to determine which groups will have access to various resources.

You may find it necessary to segment management responsibilities for certain entities and resources in your Aembit environment between different individuals and groups for security reasons. To accommodate this requirement, Aembit has released the Resource Sets feature.

Resource Sets enable you to group entities and resources (e.g. Credential Providers, Trust Providers, Identity Providers, etc.) into a single collection and assign specific users to manage these resources.

For more detailed technical information on how to use create and manage Resource Sets, please refer to the Resource Sets technical documentation.

AWS Lambda Container deployment now supported

There are many different deployment options you can currently use to deploy Aembit Edge Components in your environment, including GitHub Actions, GitLab Jobs, and Kubernetes.

To increase the available deployment options for our users, Aembit now provides support for users who wish to deploy Aembit Edge Components to an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Lambda Container.

For more detailed information on how to deploy Aembit Edge Components to AWS Lambda Containers, please refer to the AWS Lambda Container technical documentation.

Kerberos Trust Provider now available for Active Directory

Aembit has released a Kerberos Trust Provider that enables the attestation of Client Workloads running in virtual machine environments joined to Active Directory. This attestation method is specifically designed for on-premise deployments where alternative attestation methods, such as AWS or Azure metadata service trust providers, are not available.

For more detailed information on this Kerberos Trust Provider, please refer to the Kerberos Trust Provider technical documentation.

SAML SSO authentication now available for administrators

Aembit now supports SAML/SSO authentication for administrators who wish to simplify the Aembit Tenant login process for their users. Instead of requiring a user to enter their username/password credentials every time a user tries to access the Aembit Tenant, users will now be able to use a 3rd party SAML SSO Provider (e.g. Google, Okta, Microsoft Entrata) to log into the tenant.

For more information on how to configure Identity Providers using SAML, please see the Configuring Identity Providers technical documentation.

Agent Controller high availability now supported

The Aembit Agent Controller can now be installed in high availability configurations. Because the Agent Controller is a critical Aembit Edge Component that manages Agent Proxy registration and credential acquisition for Aembit Cloud access, HA support was necessary to ensure the continuous availability of the Agent Controller.

For information on installing and configuring Agent Controller in high availability environments, please see the Agent Controller High Availability page.

Dynamic Claims now available for Credential Providers

Aembit has released a new feature for Credential Providers called “Dynamic Claims.” This feature allows you to set the Subject claim and Custom claims with either literal strings or dynamic values when setting up Credential Providers in your Aembit client tenant.

For more detailed information about Dynamic Claims, please refer to Dynamic Claims page

This feature is currently only supported for Vault integration.
