SSO is here!
DNSFilter now supports Single Sign-On (SSO). 
Improve security and streamline workflows. Enforce SSO to the DNSF dashboard with third-party identity providers (IdPs), such as Okta and Azure AD, as well as others that support OIDC.
Getting started with SSO is quick and easy.
Simply configure an Identity Provider in the Single Sign-On
 section of the Settings
 page of your DNSFilter account. Once the values have been entered correctly, SSO can be turned on.
Check out our Knowledgebase for a detailed breakdown of how you can set up SSO for your account.
You can now add notes to the “Allow” and “Block” lists
Customers can now add a note using the new notes column or in the pop-up dialog when adding a domain to the Allow
 or Block
 list in the Policy settings on the dashboard. 
Use this feature to remember why the domain was added to your lists. Notes can also be used as a reference in internal support tickets to help improve workflows.
