What's in Automate MFT 1.19?

July 31, 2026

Feature enhancements

Generate PGP Private Keys

Users can now generate PGP Private keys directly from the Keys + Certs page. When generating a key, users can specify options such as the encryption algorithm, key size, hashing algorithm, expiration date, and passphrase. Generated keys can be exported for use outside Automate MFT, and the corresponding public key can also be exported as needed.

Generate SSH Private Keys

Users can now generate SSH Private keys directly from the Keys + Certs page. Generated keys are stored in Automate MFT and can be used by supported task steps in the same way as imported keys. Users can also export the private key and its corresponding public key for use with external systems and services.

Generate TLS Client Certificates

Users can now generate self-signed TLS client certificates directly from the Keys + Certs page. During certificate creation, users can specify certificate details such as the key algorithm, key size, expiration date, passphrase, and optional subject information. Generated certificates can be exported together with their private key, or users can export the public certificate separately for distribution to external systems.

For more information about generating keys and certificates, see Manage keys and certs.

Enhanced PowerShell script execution options

Custom scripts now support Secure and Unrestricted runner modes. Secure mode is the default and supports Automate MFT custom cmdlets and a controlled subset of PowerShell cmdlets. Unrestricted mode enables advanced scripting scenarios, including the use of PowerShell modules, external resources, and third-party executables. Unrestricted mode is disabled by default, requires tenant-level approval, and is supported only on self-hosted agents.

For more information, see Custom script settings.

Support for comment steps

Users can now add a Comment step to document task workflows with informational notes and instructions directly within the task workflow. Comment steps are displayed in the workflow for reference and do not affect task execution.

For more information, see Comment step.
