What’s New in SQL Safe Backup 9.4?

MFA and SSO Support for Console Users

SQL Safe Backup version 9.4 adds standard support for OIDC authentication for the console user of Safe.  This capability provides standardized support for both multi-factor authentication and single sign-on when an OIDC authentication service is used.  Both Okta and Entra ID were specifically tested and documented for this release as the market leaders in the Identity Management Market.   However, any other OIDC service should also work equally well with Safe.

Experimental Support for SQL Server 2025

Full support is planned after Microsoft declares general availability for SQL Server 2025.
