Week in brief

Global Secure Access release notes detail Web sign-in and Private Access frequency support

The week’s updates are documentation-led, with the clearest operational impact in Global Secure Access client behavior and macOS SMB configuration. The Global Secure Access notes describe a gradual rollout of Conditional Access sign-in frequency for Private Access applications, while macOS guidance specifies a lowercase `cifs` identifier URI. The SAP IAG page removes its “(Preview)” label from the title and heading.

  • The updated release notes cover Web sign-in support, Conditional Access sign-in frequency for Private Access applications, updated firewall behavior, clearer forwarding-profile names, and private-network bypass changes. Sign-in-frequency support is described as a gradual rollout, so administrators assessing Windows client deployments should review the updated behavior and rollout details.

  • The storage-account app registration’s identifier URI must use lowercase `cifs`; an uppercase `CIFS` value prevents macOS from mounting the share. The documentation also updates setup links and expands its stated access scope from limited availability.

  • The Microsoft Entra SAP IAG integration page title and heading no longer include “(Preview).” The supplied update indicates no administrator action is required.
