Log out when idle

The super administrator can now restrict how long administrator accounts stay idle on the firewall. The administrators of these accounts can still define a timeout for their own accounts, but the duration cannot exceed the one defined by the super administrator.

IPSEC VPN - System events

The SNS firewall can now generate a system event when the VPN tunnel fails to set up due to a network issue. This event can be exported through SNMP traps.

Obsolete features

IPsec VPN - Obsolete authentication and encryption algorithms

As some algorithms are obsolete, vulnerable and will be phased out in a future version of SNS, a warning message now appears to encourage administrators to modify their configurations. The algorithms in question are:

  • Authentication algorithms: md5, hmac_md5 and non_auth,
  • Encryption algorithms: blowfish, des, cast128 and null_enc.

This message appears when these algorithms are used in the profiles of IPsec peers.
