RELEASE NOTES

Issue Month: December 2025

Build Details

• Server: 2.9.0

• Windows Client: 2.10.0.122

Product Description

SafeNet IDPrime Virtual (IDPV) is a PKI-based software authenticator that uses latest innovation in software-based smart token technology to combine the strong two-factor security of a smart card. It is cost effective and convenient for the software authentication. IDPV emulates the functionality of physical smart cards used for authentication, email, data encryption, and digital signing to enable the use cases such as VDI, BYOD, backup, and mobility on any device. It secures user private key on HSM with user authentication from OIDC compatible Identity providers (IDPs).

Release Description

SafeNet IDPrime Virtual Client v2.10.0.122 includes new features and bug fixes from the previous version.

New Features and Enhancements

• RSA 3k/4k Support: The client now supports tenants using 4096-bit exchange keys, enabling seamless integration with the Server Tenant Migration Utility.

• IDPV Windows Client Update: Starting with version 2.10, the SafeNet IDPrime Virtual (IDPV) Windows Client is available exclusively as a 64-bit installation. The latest SafeNet IDPrime Virtual Client v2.10.0.122 is compatible with SAC 10.9 R2.

• Functional Changes in Credential Provider

  • With Credential Provider (CP) installed in Complete Mode, users can connect to the smart card directly from the Windows login screen by clicking the Connect button.

  • Without CP, the offline virtual smart card loads automatically only after Windows logon, and the IDPV system tray icon turns blue when a valid offline bundle is present.

  • Limitation: offline bundle loading at startup is not supported for Windows logon.

  • Offline Smart Card Behavior
    After a system shutdown and reboot, the offline smart card loads automatically (if a valid offline bundle is present), regardless of network availability.

• Workflow Updates: SafeNet IDPrime Virtual Client workflows have been updated. For updated workflows, refer to the SafeNet IDPrime Virtual Client Workflows section.

• Registry location has been updated to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Thales\SafeNet IDPrime Virtual for the latest IDPV Windows Client 64-bit installer.

Advisory Notes

Before deploying this release, note the following high-level requirement:

• Direct upgrade from earlier SafeNet IDPV Client versions is not supported. Users must uninstall any previous version before installing SafeNet IDPV Client v2.10.0.122.

Localization Support

Operating System is localization based. Therefore, it is automatically managed.

The currently supported languages are:

• English (default)

• Spanish

• German

• French

• Hindi and Hebrew as experimental

This list is expandable based on Qt cross-platform development solution and its internationalization support.

Default Password

Virtual IDPrime cards are supplied with the following default token password: “000000” (6 zeros) and the Administrator Password must be entered using 48 zeros.

Password Recommendations

We strongly recommend changing all device passwords upon receipt of a token/ smart card as follows:

• User PIN should include at least 8 characters of different types.

• PIN character types should include upper case, lower case, numbers, and special characters.

  For more information, refer to the ‘Security Recommendations’ section in SafeNet IDPrime Virtual Server-Client Product Documentation.
