Limitations and explanations on usage

This section lists the limitations and explanations on usage with the Stormshield SSL VPN client.

Certificates signed with SHA-1

When the OpenVPN gateway (e.g., the SNS firewall) presents a certificate that is signed with SHA-1, an error message appears in the Stormshield SSL VPN Client connection window, prompting you to check the credentials used to connect. Ignore the reason given in the message: the connection failed because SHA-1 is no longer supported on the Stormshield SSL VPN client.

Multi-account installation under Linux and macOS

We recommend that individual users who share a Linux or macOS workstation with other users ensure that they shut down their SSL VPN connections after each use on the workstation.

Multifactor authentication via a third-party application

Multifactor authentication via a third-party application (Push mode), e.g., the inWebo solution, does not work with Stormshield SSL VPN Client version 5.1.1 EA. If you use this type of authentication, Stormshield recommends that you continue to use version 4 of Stormshield SSL VPN Client and wait for next version 5.
