Hello everyone! Those of you who have read my Twitter feed already know that I will be attending Microsoft Ignite next week. Those who don’t know will know if you follow me on Twitter (hint). Anyway, I will be attending Ignite along with many of my PointSharp colleagues. I will be attending sessions, shadowing various Skype MVPs, and of course, talking about Skype for Business security at our booth (#563).
We will also be at the conference with our brand new version PointSharp 4.4, which includes some great features for Lync/Skype4B.
- New administrative user interface
Previously we used IIS Manager to configure the reverse proxy, in this version we built our own UI which makes management and deployment easier.
- PC Device Registration
In previous releases, we created a partnership between users and mobile devices. This ensured that credentials could not be stolen and used on other devices. Now, we are bringing this capability to Edge servers, which means we can do the same for PCs. - Block Client
We can already block active clients. For example, if a user’s phone is stolen/lost, we can block that specific device. The client becomes useless and it doesn’t even matter whether the correct credentials are stored on the mobile device or PC. No more disabling entire accounts.
These new features, combined with application-specific passwords (no domain password required on the device), pre-authentication and even two-factor authentication, provide Lync/Skype4B with a host of additional security. I have to say I’m proud of what our team has done. For more information please visit sharp point
Are you coming to Ignite? Come talk to me at our booth, or reach out to me on Twitter (@Technical). I also attend some Cal-themed parties in the evenings. I hope to see you there!
