Outlines IdP-based authentication methods for Cisco services, highlighting secure user access token management and providing guidance on re-registering UTD, License, and other integrated services after upgrade.
From Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager Release 20.18.2, IdP-based authentication provides a secure method for SD-WAN Manager to authenticate users and obtain access tokens for integrated services. This provides an added layer of security as the credentials are not stored or managed by SD-WAN Manager.
When you upgrade to Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager Release 20.18.2 from a previous release, ensure to re-register for UTD and License services. You can re-register for other Cisco services if they are currently in use.
