Product release.

OneDrive host support

MOVEit Automation now supports OneDrive host types, allowing you to transfer files to and from your Microsoft OneDrive account securely. For more information, see OneDrive.

Enhanced Amazon S3 authentication options

MOVEit Automation now supports additional authentication methods for Amazon S3 hosts.

In addition to Access Keys, you can now authenticate using:

  • AWS Config File, which enables role-based authentication from a local AWS configuration profile
  • EC2 Instance Role (IMDS), which retrieves temporary credentials automatically from the Instance Metadata Service (IMDS) when MOVEit Automation is installed on an EC2 virtual machine.

These options allow you to avoid storing static credentials in MOVEit Automation and support environments that use centralized credential management or IAM roles for enhanced security.

For more information, see Amazon S3 Authentication.

Enhanced Audit detail and configuration change history

MOVEit Automation now provides enhanced Audit reporting that makes it easier to understand what changed, when, and by whom when configuration updates occur. Audit records include a new difference view that highlights the specific configuration values that were modified, allowing administrators to quickly identify changes across tasks, hosts, scripts, and other configuration items.

A new difference view is available directly from the Audit report when changes are detected. This view displays a comparison of previous and current values while ensuring that sensitive information is protected.

Script source differences can also be controlled separately, giving administrators flexibility over how much detail is exposed in audit history.

For more information, see Audit and Audit Log Settings.

Improved default JVM heap size for Web Admin (Tomcat)

MOVEit Automation 2026 introduces updated default JVM settings for the Web Admin Tomcat service to improve performance and reduce memory-related errors.

Previous versions configured Tomcat with a maximum Java heap size of 512 MB. Starting with MOVEit Automation 2026, the default JVM configuration has been increased to:
-XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=512m --JvmMs=1024 --JvmMx=2048
This change provides 1 GB initial heap and 2 GB maximum heap, improving stability for deployments with 500–1,000 tasks.

OpenSSL 3.x and FIPS support

MOVEit Automation now uses OpenSSL 3.x as its cryptographic provider, replacing the legacy MOVEit Crypto library. This update ensures continued support for FIPS‑approved cryptography.

Installing OpenSSL separately from MOVEit Automation may overwrite the OpenSSL libraries used by the product and trigger an Invalid moveit‑fips module error, which can be resolved by running a MOVEit Automation repair installation to restore the bundled OpenSSL libraries.

Improved Web Admin session resilience

MOVEit Automation now improves session handling between Web Admin and the server to reduce disruptions caused by transient connection losses.

If the connection from Web Admin to the server is interrupted while the user still has a valid Web Admin session, the connection is automatically reestablished when the user performs an action.

Support for Microsoft SQL Server 2025

MOVEit Automation now supports Microsoft SQL Server 2025 as a system database.
