<p>Cloudflare Access can now request fresh authentication from a SAML identity provider for every login. Turn on <strong>Require reauthentication</strong> in the Cloudflare dashboard, or set <code>force_authn</code> to <code>true</code> through the API. Access will then set <code>ForceAuthn</code> to <code>true</code> in signed and unsigned SAML authentication requests.</p> <p>This option is useful when an application requires users to reauthenticate at the identity provider instead of relying on an existing identity provider session. The default value is <code>false</code>.</p> <p>For configuration details, refer to <a href="https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/integrations/identity-providers/generic-saml/#require-fresh-authentication-at-the-identity-provider">Require fresh authentication at the identity provider</a>.</p>
