94+
95+
**Type:** Changed feature
96+
**Service category:** Authentications (Logins)
97+
**Product capability:** User Authentication
98+
99+
We've updated Azure AD so that your company branding now appears on the sign out and error screens, as well as the sign-in page. You don't have to do anything to turn on this feature, Azure AD simply uses the assets you've already set up in the **Company branding** area of the Azure portal.

### Azure Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Server is no longer available for new deployments
106+
107+
**Type:** Deprecated
108+
**Service category:** MFA
109+
**Product capability:** Identity Security & Protection
110+
111+
As of July 1, 2019, Microsoft will no longer offer MFA Server for new deployments. New customers who want to require multi-factor authentication in their organization must now use cloud-based Azure Multi-Factor Authentication. Customers who activated MFA Server prior to July 1 won't see a change. You'll still be able to download the latest version, get future updates, and generate activation credentials.
112+
113+
For more information, see [Getting started with the Azure Multi-Factor Authentication Server](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/authentication/howto-mfaserver-deploy). For more information about cloud-based Azure Multi-Factor Authentication, see [Planning a cloud-based Azure Multi-Factor Authentication deployment](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/authentication/howto-mfa-getstarted).

118+
119+
### Service change: Future support for only TLS 1.2 protocols on the Application Proxy service
120+
121+
**Type:** Plan for change
122+
**Service category:** App Proxy
123+
**Product capability:** Access Control
124+
125+
To help provide best-in-class encryption for our customers, we're limiting access to only TLS 1.2 protocols on the Application Proxy service. This change is gradually being rolled out to customers who are already only using TLS 1.2 protocols, so you shouldn't see any changes.
126+
127+
Deprecation of TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 happens on August 31, 2019, but we'll provide additional advanced notice, so you'll have time to prepare for this change. To prepare for this change make sure your client-server and browser-server combinations, including any clients your users use to access apps published through Application Proxy, are updated to use the TLS 1.2 protocol to maintain the connection to the Application Proxy service. For more information, see [Add an on-premises application for remote access through Application Proxy in Azure Active Directory](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/manage-apps/application-proxy-add-on-premises-application#before-you-begin).
