Neue Software-Versionen

6 Comments

Die Version 10.2.4 soll am Montag, 17.11.08, amerikanischer Zeit zum Download über die WatchGuard-Website bereitgestellt werden. Hier soll sich speziell die Funktion Single Sign On bei Verwendung von User Authentication in Verbindung mit Active Directory verbessern. Bislang hatte der SSO Agent auf dem Domänencontroller Schwierigkeiten mit PCs, an denen mehrere wechselnde Benutzer arbeiten oder Dienstkonten genutzt werden (z.B. für Backup- oder Antivirus-Software). Mit 10.2.4 soll ein zusätzlicher Software-Client bereitgestellt werden, der – auf den PCs installiert – die Erkennung des aktiven Benutzerkontos für den Agent vereinfacht.
Vor Weihnachten soll dann noch eine Version 10.2.5 erscheinen, bevor dann Ende Januar mit dem nächsten Major Release Fireware 11 zu rechnen ist.
