On April 27, 2026, Microsoft announced an update for the Entra Global Secure Access (GSA) client version 2.28.96. This new release includes improvements to the user experience for BYOD scenarios, to surface more information about endpoint status on the main screen, and to Intelligent Local Access (ILA).
Sign Out
Microsoft has changed how the Sign Out button is displayed depending on the device’s join type. With GSA client 2.28.96, the Sign Out button now appears by default only on Microsoft Entra-registered devices. This option is hidden on Microsoft Entra-joined devices but can optionally be displayed by setting a registry key.
Intelligent Local Access
This update also includes changes to the Intelligent Local Access (ILA) feature. Administrators can now assign a private application to multiple private networks. In addition, the GSA client now includes a new Private Access Definitions section on the Forwarding Profile tab of the Advanced Diagnostics tool. This new section includes the Private DNS definitions and a new Private network definitions section, which detail the current ILA configuration, including defined private networks, configured DNS server addresses, the FQDN to resolve for the private network, and the expected IP address for the ILA FQDN.
Additional Changes
GSA client v2.28.96 also includes additional changes to address known issues and bugs.
- Internet connection test changed from msn.com to www.msftconnecttest.com
- Additional log data collection, including Kerberos logs and the output of gpresult.exe
- Log collection includes the list of trusted root Certification Authorities (CAs) on the endpoint
