No action is needed by server administrators, and we do not expect resource usage of the Redis instance to change dramatically. -This release also changes the callback URI for OpenID Connect (OIDC) identity providers. If your server is configured to use single sign-on via an OIDC/OAuth2 IdP, you may need to make configuration changes. Please review [UPGRADE.rst](UPGRADE.rst) for more details on these changes. +This release also changes the callback URI for OpenID Connect (OIDC) and SAML2 identity providers.
