Version 4.0.9 bug fixes

System

Communication with the OpenVPN process

The mechanism that verifies the port used by the Stormshield SSL VPN client to communicate with the OpenVPN process has been enhanced. Errors such as “Could not reserve the port to communicate with the OpenVPN process” and “Could not purge the log file of the OpenVPN process” no longer appear unexpectedly.

Now, when the port verification fails, the message “Connection to the OpenVPN process is not secure” appears.

Multi-account installation

Enhancements have been applied to multi-account installations. Now, when a VPN tunnel is set up in a locked session, the tunnel will automatically be disconnected when other users open their own sessions.

There is no longer any need to ask individual users sharing a workstation to close their sessions after use. Each user can therefore set up his or her own tunnel, but only one tunnel can be set up at a time on the workstation.

Access to logs

When no connection attempts have been made, and no logs have been generated, clicking on the Logs pop-up menu now correctly redirects the user to the log destination folder.

Connection

Connecting to the SNS firewall - TCP or UDP port blocked

When the connection to the SNS firewall does not succeed because the TCP or UDP port has been blocked on it, the Stormshield SSL VPN client will no longer wrongly attempt to connect continuously. Now the message “Unable to connect to SSL VPN: the maximum number of connection attempts has been reached” appears after five connection attempts.

Connecting to the SNS firewall in version 4.3 - Customized certificate

Support reference 84992

Users can now set up a VPN tunnel with a customized certificate when the firewall is in SNS version 4.3. This regression appeared in version 4.0.5 EA.

Filling in the OTP - Push mode field

The OTP field no longer needs to be filled in, making it possible once again to connect through push notifications (Push mode). This regression appeared in version 4.0.5 EA.

Manual mode

Displaying profiles in the pop-up menu

Address book entries from the Stormshield SSL VPN client are no longer wrongly displayed in the Manual mode pop-up menu.

Adding or deleting profiles when a VPN tunnel has been set up

Profiles can no longer be added or deleted in the Manual mode pop-up menu once a VPN tunnel has been set up. Previously, remaining items from profiles would persist when such profiles were deleted after a VPN tunnel had been set up.
