RELEASE NOTES

Issue Month: July 2026

Build Details

• Server: 3.1.0

• Linux Client: 2.3.0.163

Product Description

SafeNet IDPrime Virtual (IDPV) is a PKI-based software authenticator that uses latest innovation in software-based smart token technology to combine the strong two-factor security of a smart card. It is cost effective and convenient for the software authentication. IDPV emulates the functionality of physical smart cards used for authentication, email, data encryption, and digital signing to enable the use cases such as VDI, BYOD, backup, and mobility on any device. It secures user private key on HSM with user authentication from OIDC compatible Identity providers (IDPs).

Release Description

SafeNet IDPrime Virtual Client v2.3.0.163 includes new features and enhancements.

New Features and Enhancements

• Multi-Key Size Support: Supports 2K, 3K, and 4K RSA keys, enabling users to enroll keys on IDPV smartcards for all possible PKI operations.

To import 4K keys, HSM Firmware version must be 7.4 or above.

• AES Compatibility for Luna HSM 7.8.2: The client supports AES-based cryptographic operations.

Advisory Notes

Before deploying this release, note the following high-level limitations:

• Uninstalling the SAC client will also remove the IDPV client. Therefore, users must ensure the IDPV client is closed before proceeding with the SAC client uninstallation.

• Linux Redirect Tenant Configuration:

  Set idpRedirectUrl_MAC to http://localhost:<portnumber>/ when using an external browser, or set it to null when using an embedded browser.

  The specified <portnumber> must be free on the Linux client machine.

  Although the configuration key name contains "MAC", it is applicable to Linux. This naming will be corrected in an upcoming server release.

Localization Support

Operating System is localization based. Therefore, it is automatically managed.

The currently supported languages are:

• English (default)

• German

• Spanish

• French

• Hindi

• Hebrew

Supported OS

• Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

• Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Default Password

Virtual IDPrime cards are supplied with the following default token password: "000000" (6 zeros) and the Administrator Password must be entered using 48 zeros.

Password Recommendations

We strongly recommend changing all device passwords upon receipt of a token/ smart card as follows:

• User PIN should include at least 8 characters of different types.

• PIN character types should include upper case, lower case, numbers, and special characters.

  For more information, refer to the 'Security Recommendations' section in SafeNet IDPrime Virtual Server-Client Product Documentation.
