UPGRADE NOTES
For more about upgrading, see individual product text files.
Default SSL Encryption Settings
----
If upgrading from a version previous to 3.2.2, SSL will be disabled and the
default port set to 80. To enable SSL encryption, copy the current web Remote
Access Filter, change the port to 443 and enable it. Save the section. Next,
auto-configure (default) the Remote Admin/Authentication function and save the
section. This will enable all encryption and change the server port to 443.
Delete the old filter.
Netscape/Mozilla
----
Version 3.4.3 installs a new default security certificate. Some browsers,
including Netscape and Mozilla, will not recognize the new certificate if
the original has never been replaced. If you are unable to log on to the
GTA Firewall after upgrading, delete the browser security certificate, then
exit and restart.
Surf Sentinel Feature Activation Code
----
Before upgrading to 3.4.3, Surf Sentinel customers upgrading from a version
previous to 3.3.4 must enter a new feature activation code to accommodate
Cerberian Web Filter version 2.0. The new code is available in the GTA support
center under View Registered Products. Delete the old feature code, enter the
new code and save, then upgrade the firewall.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
KNOWN ISSUES
Internet Explorer 5 for Macintosh
----
Internet Explorer 5 for Macintosh will not allow you to accept or install
the SSL security certificate. SSL must be disabled to use this combination.
Internet Explorer 5 Export Version, No Patch
----
The export version of IE 5 improperly implements SSL version 3.0, so to use
SSL 3.0, you must have installed the IE security patches.
Security Vulnerabilities in SSL Version 2.0
----
Due to security vulnerabilities in SSL 2.0, support for it has been
removed in GNAT Box System Software.
