  • Updated

To continue providing a secure and reliable Salesforce integration, Riva will be implementing enhancements to our cloud platform that align with Salesforce's updated authentication security requirements.

These enhancements include support for modern OAuth security features, including:

  • Proof Key for Code Exchange (PKCE)
  • Refresh Token Rotation (RTR)

Salesforce has announced updated security controls for partner applications. While there is currently no confirmed enforcement date for Riva, Riva is actively implementing the required platform updates and is tracking to complete these changes as soon as possible to ensure continued compatibility.

What does this mean?

Riva will deploy these security enhancements to all Riva Cloud environments as part of a planned rollout.

No action is required from customers or end users. However, each environment will undergo a scheduled maintenance window to complete the transition.

Scheduled Maintenance Windows

The rollout will occur according to the following schedule:

Product Maintenance Date Maintenance Window
Riva Insight July 31, 2026 8:00 PM – 10:00 PM EST
Riva Sync August 27, 2026 8:00 PM – 10:00 PM EST
Riva Sync September 3, 2026 8:00 PM – 10:00 PM EST
Riva Sync September 10, 2026 8:00 PM – 10:00 PM EST

The expected service interruption for each environment is approximately 20 minutes, although the full maintenance window has been reserved to allow sufficient time to complete the deployment.
