Secure, more secure, Qiata - with the new Qiata Major Release 3.0, this is not just a promising motto, but a technologically essential component of the solution architecture. The already high level of security is further improved by the innovative and completely redesigned login process.

In addition, the new login procedure creates a basis for upcoming technologies - such as one-time password and two-factor authentication. At the same time, thanks to OIDC (OpenID Connect), users can be connected quickly, easily and securely at any time.

The new version is freely available for existing customers and can be updated as usual via our repository. For the connection of an additional, external OIDC/ADFS provider, a paid license option is necessary. Please contact our sales department for further details.
