Important Update Notes

Language Packages

Due to structural changes in the language packages, all supported server language packages will be updated automatically, customized language packages will be removed during the update process (a backup is done before). If more language packages are needed, it is required to download and install them again.

In case your language packages have been modified, the attached delta-file Datei:Delta english lp 6.2.0 to 7.0.0.txt can help you to locate the changes in this update and re-apply the modifications. The structure of this file is explained in Language Pack Changes.

Cryptshare Update Process Enhancements

We have updated the Cryptshare update process to improve clarity and functionality.

With this update, it is possible for the updates to be installed unattendedly, streamlining the upgrade process to the latest available version through multiple intermediate releases. The update process is automatic, eliminating the need for manual interaction unless specific configurations require administrative attention.

The system now intelligently determines the most suitable update path, considering whether updates can proceed automatically or require manual intervention, and whether they are attended or unattended.

The update process is documented in this article.

Enhanced Transfer Policy Configuration through CSV

Administrators can now fully configure transfer policies by importing a CSV file. This update ensures that all settings available through the administration interface policy wizard are now configurable via CSV import. The CSV export now also contains all parameters that can be configured in the policy wizard. This enhancement simplifies e.g. the process of transferring fully configured policies from a test server to a production server.

Improved Validation of Generated Passwords

An issue has been resolved that caused (in rare cases) generated passwords to be rejected because they did not match the configured password policies. As part of the solution, the password policy is now checked on saving, to ensure that it allows a sufficient number of secure random passwords.

The password policy is also checked during the update process and may need to be adjusted.

Discontinuation of "Legacy Archiving" connector

With this release, the outdated "Legacy Archiving" connector has been disabled by default to align with our transition towards the more modern and powerful "Local File System" archiving connector.

Before performing an update, you can check the menu "Transfer Processing" -> "Archiving" if there is a Legacy Archiving connector configured. More information about the archiving feature can be found in this article. If legacy archiving is currently configured, please refer to the migration guide from the Legacy Archiving to the Local File System archiving. In case, a Legacy Archiving connector is detected during the Post Update, a reminder hint message of the continuation will be presented in the Post Update screen.

Network Patterns for Policy Rules

Policy configurations now support simultaneous IPv4 and IPv6 address inputs, applicable to both direct settings and CSV imports. Previous issues with IPv6 compatibility have been resolved, ensuring all valid IPv6 addresses are now accepted. Additionally, an issue in the policy wizard regarding network matchers was resolved.

Additional Changes

Resolved an issue where downloaded log files might have been cached by the browser.
Resolved an issue that prevented sending of notifications during update check task.

Resolved an error that occurred during appliance settings adjustments.
Resolved an issue in the REST API where the sender notification flag was not applied correctly.
Resolved an issue where large file names disrupted UI styling.
Resolved an XSS issue in notification messages.
Resolved various issues with the administration of notification email subjects and signatures. They now require unique names, and can be detached from policy rules.
Resolved an issue where the order of Custom Links was not reflected in the configuration menu. Changes to Custom Links are now reflected directly in the Web App, without starting a new session.
Upgraded Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and Spring libraries.
