Based on our previous announcement, we are thrilled to announce the availability of the latest version of Integration Service, IQService - June 2024 . This new release comes with enhanced capabilities aimed at offering improved security configurations and functional use cases. One of the key highlights of this update is the support for Group Managed Service Account (gMSA) as a service account in the Active Directory Connector.
With respect to the dropped support versions, all the connector requests would start failing if the IQService version is older than IQService-Jun-2022. So if you are still using the older version, please plan to upgrade the IQService to the latest version to avoid any down time.
If update service is not configured in your environment to receive auto updates, refer to Update IQService for upgrading the IQService manually and configure update service to get the auto updates in future.
For more information, refer to the IQService documentation.
