| Linux Release Details: |
| Astaro Security Gateway 7.1 is available |
| Astaro is pleased to announce that Astaro Security Gateway 7.1 GA is available now. Version 7.1 integrates exciting new web security features like Active Directory SSO native mode, improved performance, lower resource usage (without Squid now), intelligent caching, re-added black and white list and audio/video streaming support. On top of that we now support interface-based packet filter rules, offer a detailed network accounting report and much more. Furthermore you will experience convenience changes and performance improvements. |
The new version provides a completely re-designed HTTP proxy, replacing the squid proxy which has been used up until now. The new proxy significantly improves Web Filtering functionality & performance.
New features
Besides HTTP proxy enhancements the new release also includes the following new features:
Packet filter based on interface
Packet filter rules can now be based on network definitions that are bound to specific network interfaces. This significantly improves the flexibility of packet filter rules in many environments.
Auto-Packet filter rule generation for NAT traffic
Packet filter rules can now be generated automatically from DNAT/SNAT configurations by selecting the new checkbox within the NAT-rule.
SPAM Scanner with X-SPAM Flag
If the spam score of an email exceeds the configured SPAM warn threshold (but doesn't exceed the quarantine threshold) the SMTP SPAM engine now adds an 'X-SPAM-Flag: Yes' header to the forwarded email. This allows the user to configure a filter rule within his email client for moving suspected SPAM mails into a dedicated folder.
Network Accounting/Usage
Additional pre-defined reports have been added offering information similar to the Web Security reporting. Data displayed can be selected by timeframe, sorted by various orders or drilled down by clients, servers and service.
Content filter double byte support
The download manager now supports file names using double byte characters. The double byte default character set can be selected via WebAdmin.
Virtual HA MAC-Addresses (MAC address takeover)
When activating active/active HA (cluster) or active/passive HA (stand-by) configurations, MAC addresses of all interfaces (except for the HA interface) are changed to virtual MAC addresses taken from the range 00-1A-8C-F0-XX-XX, which is part of the official MAC address range owned by Astaro.
Multiple-IP-Check Uplink Failover
In order to avoid occurrences of unnecessary fail-over you can now define multiple IP addresses (Check IPs) ? in a comma-separated list ? when configuring the primary network interface for uplink fail-over. Fail-Over will only be initiated if all of the specified IPs fail to reply to a ping message. The same (set of) IPs can be specified multiple times. The default Check IP 0.0.0.0 is a symbolic IP address that represents the interface's default gateway.
DynDNS enhancements
DynDNS can now be used on more than one interface and also on static interfaces like ?Ethernet Standard?
Automatic user creation for eDirectory Single-Sign-On
You can now trigger the automatic creation of user objects for users authenticated via Novell eDirectory in Single-Sign-On mode.
