# 4.9.6.1 Server Release Notes

**Downloads**

          

[4.9.6.1 Server](https://idauto.s3.amazonaws.com/mfa/server/4961/RapidIdentity_Server_v4961.msi) [4.9.6.1 Client-Side Components](https://idauto.s3.amazonaws.com/mfa/server/4961/RapidIdentity_Client-Side-Components_v4961.exe)

## Bug Fixes

- MFA client authentication methods now follow OTP PIN policy fail limits (the attempts are user-configurable values, and the user can pick from Select box and Save
- Fixed an enrollment issue of contactless cards in the case of a bad read
- Fixed Admin Portal link failing issues when using from Self Service Portal
- When installing the 4.9.6.1 Server, the "Need Help? Click here for installation Guide" button now forwards users to the RapidIdentity MFA Install Guide page

---

## Known Issues & Workarounds

- FIDO PIN expiration policy for Self Service Portal is not working
- There is no UI or page in the MFA Portal to set up failed PIN attempts for the PingMe authentication method separately; *The OTP PIN policy can be used for now*

#### Version Rollback Issue Workaround

> Unable to install previous versions after uninstalling 4.9.6.1 on NPS/Radius-enabled MFA Servers

1. Uninstall MFA server v4.9.6.1.
2. Stop IIS and remove the 4.9.6.1 installed directory (C:\Program Files\Identity Automation). Start IIS again.
3. Install the previous version (e.g. MFA server v4.9.4.6).
4. In IIS, navigate to SERVERNAME > Sites > API. Click on Advanced Settings and update the Physical Path to C:\Program Files\2FA\ONE Server\api. Click OK.
5. Navigate to ONE and click on Advanced Settings. Update the Physical Path to C:\Program Files\2FA\ONE Server\website and click OK.
6. Navigate to oneService and click on Advanced Settings. Update the Physical Path to C:\ProgramFiles\2FA\ONE Server\servicesite and click OK.
7. Navigate to REstServices and click on Advanced Settings. Update the Physical Path to C:\Program Files\2FA\ONE Server\restservices and click OK.
8. Restart IIS.

#### Admin Portal Access Issue Workaround

> Users are unable to access the Admin Portal after a clean 4.9.6.1 installation.

After doing a clean installation of MFA server v4.9.6.1 and the database tables are successfully built, the URL in the *web.config* files will need to be updated accordingly. Please see our article about updating your server URL in the [following article](/v1/docs/your-request-cannot-be-processed-error).

#### Radius-Enabled Server Portal Access Issue Workaround

> The following steps are actually for **both** RADIUS and non-RADIUS enabled servers. Both should follow the same steps, but for RADIUS-enabled servers, continue to steps 5 - 6.

1. Open *regedit* and expand to the path:

```
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\2FA Technology\ONE Server\Radius\[PolicyName]
```

1. Verify that the key InstallPath exists at the above path, and if it does not, create it as a string type (e.g. *C:\Program Files\Identity Automation\RapidIdentity MFA*).
2. Expand to the path:

```
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Identity Automation\RapidIdentity MFA
```

1. Select the InstallPath key from the list and double-click to edit the key. A popup will appear, and in the Value Data field, remove the *backslash* from the end of the string if it exists, and click OK.

Change:

```
C:\Program Files\Identity Automation\RapidIdentity MFA\
```

to

```
C:\Program Files\Identity Automation\RapidIdentity MFA
```

1. Navigate to:

```
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\AuthSrv\Param
```

1. If the ExtensionDLLs key exists, verify the path matches the following (or **create it** as a *String Value* and include the below path for the value):

```
C:\Program Files\Identity Automation\RapidIdentity MFA\radius\2fanps.dll
```
