Hi is there any further progress on this

jmcsparin

Will the ability to force redirect someone from http to https be added at some point?

emck

when you say High Availability improvements what exactly do you mean, what is getting improved? could we get some more words on it?

tabildskov

This is a bit old. Will Solarwinds be updating it any time soon?

dodster

Any Idea on if MFA support may be included by Serv-U MFT?

Any Plans to Include wildcards or variables in Directory File Management?

ivodlouhy

Hi there, any update on this? How soon can we expect this feature?

paul.gerke

I need MFA for Serv-U yesterday.

I need MFA for Serv-U yesterday. Hopefully this is in the works and an announcement is forthcoming.

brent.goebel

I second all the comments about MFA for Serv-U. But at a minimum it would be huge if ServU was SAML compliant. Outside of just LDAP and AD authentication, SAML would be huge. It seems like most websites (including SW products) support SAML for SSO.

SlyM

Guys, if there are no plans to have this option added, then please say so or at least respond with the estimated time of implementation. We are a few months away from renewing the Serv-U license and if MFA won't be added soon we will have to look for another solution.

Any plans to make it possible to have HA when we use the share feature?
the Share feature was the main reason we chose the product, but until to day we haven't been able to have it in HA because that is not supported.

Tt's been more than 5 years.. and that still not supported.

SlyM

Do you have any plans of adding special characters to the password complexity option?

AAAAAAAA1 is not a complex password.

API - I've heard that an API would do wonders for product adoption & integration

EvilAdmin

what about support for current linux Operating Systems like RHEL 8/9?

donbroxson2

Recently migrated Serv-U to Azure VM. When in Azure smtp servers are not authorized for use and we are using SendGrid.

donbroxson2

Sendgrid does not allow for username@domain.com and only uses anme apikey and key as password. Please allow for non @domain.com in username.
