Display SAML SSO authentication data in audit log – Private Beta

GitHub Enterprise Cloud customers can now participate in a private beta displaying SAML single sign-on (SSO) identities for relevant users in audit log events.

SAML SSO gives organization and enterprise owners a way to control and secure access to resources like repositories, issues, and pull requests. Organization owners can invite GitHub users to join an organization backed by SAML SSO, allowing users to become members of the organization while retaining their existing identity and contributions on GitHub.

With the addition of SAML SSO identities in the audit log, organization and enterprise owners can easily link audit log activity with the user's corporate identity, used to SSO into GitHub.com. This not only provides increased visibility into the identity of the user, but also enables logs from multiple systems to quickly and easily be linked using a common SAML identity.

Enterprise owners interested in participating in the private beta should reach out to your GitHub account manager or contact our sales team to have this feature enabled for your enterprise. Once enabled, enterprise and organization owners can provide feedback at the logging SAML SSO authentication data for enterprise and org audit log events community discussion page.

Display Authentication Token Data in your Enterprise Audit Log – Beta

GitHub Enterprise Cloud customers can now participate in a private beta enabling authentication token data to display for audit log events. In doing so, enterprise owners will be able to query their audit logs for activity associated with specific authentication tokens. With the introduction of this feature, enterprise owners will be better equipped to detect and trace activity associated with corrupt authentication tokens, which have the potential to provide threat actors access to sensitive private assets.

Enterprise owners interested in participating in the private beta should reach out to your GitHub account manager or contact our sales team to have this feature enabled for your enterprise. Once enabled, enterprise owners can find guidance and provide feedback at the displaying authentication token data in enterprise audit log events community discussion..

Stream audit log to AWS S3 with OpenID Connect (OIDC)

The functionality for GitHub Enterprise Cloud customers to configure audit log streaming to AWS S3 with OpenID Connect (OIDC) is now generally available. Audit log streaming configured with OIDC eliminates storage of long-lived cloud secrets on GitHub by using short-lived tokens exchanged via REST/JSON message flows for authentication.

For additional information, please read about setting up audit log streaming to AWS S3 with OpenID Connect.

License sync updates: new Consumed License data, a new License API and license matching improvements (Public Beta)

We’ve made a series of improvements to the GitHub Connect license sync feature in addition to the "Sync now" button we recently added in GHES:

  1. Enterprise administrators can now access a refreshed Consumed License CSV that includes additional data, such as the saml_name_id and the GitHub Enterprise Cloud email address (for verified domains only) for each user;
  2. Enterprise administrators also have access to two new License REST API endpoints:
    a. consumed-licenses: returns the same Consumed License data found in the CSV download
    b. license-sync-status: returns information related to the license sync job status
  3. We improved the license sync matching algorithm for enterprises that use SAML SSO. We now attempt to match Server user accounts against SAML attributes in addition to matching against users' GitHub Enterprise Cloud email addresses. This improvement eliminates the need for enterprise administrators to require users to add their work-related email addresses to their GitHub Enterprise Cloud account.
