Android devices with OS version 5.0 and higher are pre-configured with these security settings and are not affected by this update.
08/09/18	Security	N/A	Notice	08/16/18	NOTICE	User experience enhancements for CS Professional Suite With version 2017.2.5, we have updated Practice CS with the security enhancements described below. As a CS Professional Suite customer, we are informing you that as part of our ongoing efforts to address the evolving cybersecurity landscape, in early August 2018 we will update UltraTax CS to include multi-factor authentication (MFA) user experience improvements, enhancements to our file encryption-at-rest process, and updates for global data privacy requirements. This update follows our implementation of MFA in all CS Professional Suite products in February 2017, with further enhancements in 2018 including requiring MFA to electronically file tax returns. This update will require no action on your part. There will be an "Encrypting data sharing" dialog that appears the first time a customer opens UltraTax 2017. If customers ask about this dialog, our positioning statement is: "This is part of our file encryption-at-rest process enhancements related to this update." This is a one-time process that will take 3 seconds/client for desktop installations and a little longer for VO/SaaS. As of 8/16/18, Practice has been updated, so data sharing with UltraTax should work normally. With this update, data sharing information out of UltraTax CS 2017 to other CS applications will be collected and held until an update later this month, at which point the information collected will be data shared as usual. Prior versions of UltraTax (16 and earlier) will not data share to or from other CS applications in any environment. As part of this update, customers may be prompted to update .NET framework or their web browser. If so, have them follow the prompts on their screen. Customers will be given a link to Installing an updated .NET Framework. Direct customers to their IT professional if they need additional assistance updating .NET or their web browser.
08/08/18	MFA	N/A	Open	08/09/18	TBD	Enabling MFA on NetStaff prevents SSO from working NetStaff users who have enabled MFA may experience being prompted to sign in when opening or printing to FileCabinet CS despite having an existing active session in other CS Professional Suite applications. Most often, this is caused by the CS Web and NetStaff accounts having the same login. Complete the steps below to work through the issue. 1. Log into CS Web and NetFirm and enable MFA in both areas. 2. Change their login name for either NetFirm or CS Web but not both. The user will then need to use the new unique NetFirm login. 3. Change the password in either CS Web or NetFirm but not both. The user will then need to use the unique NetFirm password. If the steps above do not reach resolution for SSO related issues, see TFS #1431141 in the Onvio_Global_Support section of TFS. TFS 1431141
07/09/18	Platform	N/A	Notice	07/09/18	NOTICE	Support for Microsoft SQL Server 2008 and 2008 R2 is ending On July 9th, 2019 Microsoft will discontinue extended support of Microsoft SQL Server 2008 and 2008 R2. For more details, see the Discontinued support for Microsoft SQL Server 2008 help article.
06/04/18	Update	2017.2.4	Notice	06/05/18	NOTICE	Practice CS update to 2017.2.4 Practice CS was updated to version 2017.2.4 in Virtual Office on Monday, June 4th. The plan is currently to make this available as a CS Connect update for local/network firms to install sometime on Tuesday, June 5th. In this update, there was nothing on the front end of the program that was changed. Instead, this was related to security for the program to use TLS 1.2 whenever connecting to our web servers. TLS is a secure protocol for encrypting and transmitting data. For this to work, we had to update Practice CS to use .NET 4.5, so if any users don’t have the version of .NET framework installed already, this update will install that. This article is going to be handy to have around starting Tuesday: .NET Framework and Visual C++ Considerations for CS Professional Suite If you have any questions, or notice any issues with this update, please work with the CF.
