tentative fix for SF bug 3169045 "Batch installer lists IPv4
address as management address". Built-in installer wanted to use
management interface address in batch mode even when alternative
address or putty session name was provided. This happens only in
batch mode install.
compiling single rule with IPv6 destination and IPv4 gateway or
interface". Routing compiler for iptables does not support ipv6 at
this time and will issue a warning when user tries to place ipv6
address or network in a routing rule. The warning does not appear
when ipv6 address is a member of a group used in the rule. Also
see #1575.
object created on import". Iptables rules in the table mangle
will be imported in the dedicated Policy rule set with name
"Mangle". Rules that use chains FORWARD and POSTROUTING in table
mangle can not be reproduced and will be marked as "bad" (color
red and corresponding comment).
Do not
pass full path to the output file as an argument of the "-o"
option when the GUI launches policy compiler. Since the "-d"
option passes directory path where files sould be saved, actual
file names do not need to be absolute path, except if the user
entered absolute path for the output file name in the firewall
settings dialog.
* configlets/linux24/shell_functions: see #2130 "unnecessary
output when iptables script runs on the firewall". Ever since I
switched to using "command" to verify that various system
utilities generated script needs are present and can be used, the
scirpt produced extra lines in the log printing full path and
names to /usr/bin/logger, /sbin/ip etc. These lines are
unnecessary and should not be there. This problem was introduced
some time during the work on 4.2.0
deprecate "test install" function. We have decided to deprecate test install because it is rather heavy-handed on Linux and PIX where it reboots the firewall and plain does not work on *BSD.
"activation commands on FreeBSD and OpenBSD lose script exit
status". Sequence of commands ran by the built-in installer on
*BSD firewalls were losing exit status of the script which meant
installer always declared installation a "success" even when
there were errors.
support for configuring static routes on BSD". Implemented support
for simple static routing rules. ECMP and routing via interface
(routing to directly reachable subnets) are not
supported. Generated script preserves static routing entries that
existed before and attempts to recover in case of error. Needs
testing.
r3320 (refs #1790) "When an object is found using Find and the
object is in the object tree, the keyboard focus shifts to the
Object Panel". That change broke highlighting of the found object
in rules.
config will compile without interface in Routing rule". Policy
compiler for PIX now checks that both "interface" and "gateway"
rule elements are not empty.
panel once its created". This has side effect in that some
other operations that open an object in the tree will also
scroll the tree to position this object at the top.
templates button on the New Firewall Wizard". Use of the
custom template library to create new firewall object is now
optional, controlled by a checkbox in the "Object" tab of the
gobal preferenes dialog. New users will have this option turned
off by default, however existing users will see it enabled for
backwards compatibility.
is found using Find and the object is in the object tree, the
keyboard focus shifts to the Object Panel". The "find" pabel now
retains keyboard focus after it shows found object in the tree,
this allows the user to just hit Enter on the keyboard to find
the next object.
that happened when user switched from page 0 to page 1 of the new
firewall wizard. Pause was caused by the DNS queries the program
ran trying to determine ip address of the firewall using the name
provided on the first page of the wizard. Now DNS query is
launched only if user wants to create interfaces uses snmp scan.
improved design of the widget used to edit ip addresses and other
attributes of an interface in the new firewall, new host and new
cluster wizards. Removed "MAC Address" imput field and rearranged
other input fields according to the result of usability tests.
