Changes in Cerberus FTP Server 2025.4 (2026-01-05):

• New Features

  • Get a headstart on our upcoming secure UX update with Cerberus FTP Server 2025.4. This version gives administrators the ability to toggle between the previous and new UX, allowing them to test and update UX-dependent workflows ahead of the UX update in early 2026.
  • MSA update. This update requires user acknowledgement of the upgrade and cannot be done in-app

We encourage admins to review UX-dependent workflows now, to avoid any disruption when Cerberus completes the full UX update in early 2026, when the toggle is deprecated.

• Improvements

  • Expanded support for Duo Enterprise edition features, including trusted network authentication, remembered devices, bypass users, passwordless authentication methods, and enhanced security validation with improved error handling and logging.
  • Documentation updates: We are reorganizing and updating Cerberus documentation with a new look and feel to make finding the information you need easier (and faster). Some resource links may look different than what you may have seen previously
  • Updated the UI framework, notice of deprecation of Legacy UX
  • Enhanced security checks for OTP-Protected public shares, two new localization strings: L_FILE_SHARE_DLG_OTP_NOT_ENABLED and L_FILE_SHARE_DLG_OTP_REQUIRED.
  • Event system now displays local time, not GMT time for events

• Fixes

  • Fixed incorrect character encoding in Microsoft OAuth2 email alerts, causing accented characters to appear incorrectly
  • Implemented additional security checks for the OTP-protected public share creation process. This change requires localizing two new message strings: L_FILE_SHARE_DLG_OTP_NOT_ENABLED and L_FILE_SHARE_DLG_OTP_REQUIRED.
  • Event system now displays local time, not GMT time for events
  • SMTP re-authentication bug fixed for strict servers
