Resolved issues These issues are resolved in this release of the product. For a list of issues fixed in earlier releases, see the Release Notes for the specific release. •
Remote users can now use all DNS domain names from the internal networks. The SSL VPN passes the DHCP domain and domain search information to the client. (1086859)
•
Local security checks, which were previously unstable in some versions of Windows, have been improved. (1101196)
•
The client now displays the SHA-256 fingerprint of the gateway certificate when connecting for the first time. Using the SHA-256 fingerprint improves the security of connections because the SHA algorithm is stronger than the previously used MD5 algorithm. (1074012)
