New Features in this Hotfix

Password Caching

  1. You can enable or disable password caching. When password caching is enabled and if users type an incorrect password, the password is cached for a specified amount of time. Password caching is enabled by default and the expiration period default is 10 minutes.

    To enable password caching and set the expiration period

    1. In the Administration Tool, on the Global Cluster Policies tab, click Enable incorrect password cache.
    2. In Incorrect password cache time-out, type the number of minutes before the cache is cleared and click Submit.

    To disable password caching, click to clear Enable incorrect password cache.

    When users try to log on using a password that is stored in the incorrect password cache, the Access Gateway rejects the logon attempt without sending that password to the external authentication server, such as LDAP or RADIUS.

Known Issues in this Hotfix

  1. If Symantec AntiVirus Version 10.0.2.2000, Secure Access Client Version 4.5.6, and the WANScaler Client Version 4.2.19 are installed on a client device, when the Secure Access Client is upgraded to Version 4.5.7, the operating system stops unexpectedly and an error message appears on a blue screen. The error is caused by Symantec AntiVirus.

    When upgrading the Access Gateway to Version 4.5.7, have users uninstall the Secure Access Client Version 4.5.6 from the client device. When the Secure Access Client is uninstalled, users can install Version 4.5.7 using a Web browser.

    [From AG2000_v457][#25032]

  2. When Norton Antivirus is installed on Windows Vista Home Premium, automatic upgrade of the Secure Access Client fails. To allow automatic upgrading, uninstall Norton Antivirus from the client device.

    [From AG2000_v457][#25363]

Issue(s) Resolved in this Hotfix

  1. When client certificate criteria is added for a group, users do not get the settings for the group.

    [From AG2000_v457][#24448]

  2. When users connect to a server running Advanced Access Control using the Secure Access Client, the Access Gateway appliance drops UDP and ICMP packets sent by the client device.

    [From AG2000_v457][#24718]

  3. If multiple servers are running Advanced Access Control, creating new system-generated personal identification numbers (PIN) for RSA SecurID fail.

    [From AG2000_v457][#24740]

  4. If multiple servers running the Secure Ticket Authority are configured on the Access Gateway and the appliance is configured to accept ICA connections only, the Access Gateway appliance fails.

    [From AG2000_v457][#24781, #24814, #24828]

  5. When a client certificate is required for authentication and a pre-authentication policy is configured on the Access Gateway appliance or on the server running Advanced Access Control, the pre-authentication policy fails even when the client device meets the requirements.

    [From AG2000_v457][#24796]

  6. If a large number of groups is configured on the Access Gateway, the group names are truncated and information for the groups are lost.

    [From AG2000_v457][#24844]

  7. When users attempt to connect to file shares on Windows NT 4.0, users receive the error "HTTP 504 Gateway Time-out."

    [From AG2000_v457][#24853]

  8. The Secure Access Client does not connect to the same fully qualified domain name (FQDN) from which the Secure Access Client is installed. When users log on several times, the Secure Access Client stays connected to the Access Gateway.

    [From AG2000_v457][#24913]

  9. If the Access Gateway is configured to connect to the Web Interface, if the Access Gateway that acts as the license server is unavailable, user logon is slow.

    [From AG2000_v457][#24922]

  10. If the Access Gateway is configured to use RSA SecurID for authentication, users can log on more than once with the same pass code until the number displayed on the token changes.

    [From AG2000_v457][#24966]

  11. The Access Gateway fails after seven to 10 days and users cannot log on.

    [From AG2000_v457][#25016, #25041]

  12. If Version 4.5.5 or later of the Access Gateway software is installed and IP pooling is configured, users cannot connect to the Internet or to internal network resources through the appliance.

    [From AG2000_v457][#25080]

  13. When users connect using Secure Access Client, if the network connection is dropped, the Access Gateway might allow only ICMP network traffic when the connection is reestablished. Network traffic that uses TCP or UDP might be dropped.

    [From AG2000_v457][#25099]

  14. When users log on with Secure Access Client and then synchronize with Microsoft Outlook, the Windows XP client device stops responding and users must restart the device.

    [From AG2000_v457][#25164]

  15. When IP pooling is configured on the Access Gateway, after a certain number of IP addresses are assigned, users cannot connect using the assigned IP address.
