Release Notes for Win 98/ME/NT AEGIS Client

December 3, 2004

Version 2.1.2 replaces version 2.1.0

Enhancements and Problems fixed between 2.1.2 and 2.1.0

• Credential prompting
  A new option is now available for supplying user credentials on demand during the authentication process. A pop-up window will appear for the user to enter the appropriate credentials.
• WPA encryption optioning
  A new option is now available in the WPA configuration screen for specifying the desired data encryption mode.
• Legacy Windows only
  The AEGIS client 2.1.x family is now restricted to the legacy Windows versions (98/98SE/ME/NT). Users of Windows XP or 2000 must now use the AEGIS client 2.2.x family.
• PEAP/MS CHAPv2 bad password
  Corrected the continuous looping issue when receiving a bad passwork in a PEAP/MS CHAP V2 tunnel. (Ref #2609)

User Interface Observations with Workarounds

• Configuring certificate’s user name
  When using the Microsoft Certificate Server, certificates are issued with 2 common names. One name is a group name and the other is the user name. The client displays the group name in the user name field. (Ref #2294)
  
  Workaround:
  Manually change the user name field in the authentication profile to match the certificate.
• Authentication Profile Name length
  The length of the name of an authentication profile as listed in the Profile Information tab of the Network Profile screen is truncated to 15 characters. However in the Authentication Profile screen itself the corresponding name is listed with at least 30 characters as visible. (Ref #2361)
  
  Workaround:
  When naming an authentication profile, limit the uniqueness of the name to the first 15 characters and the overall length to 30 characters.

General Usage Observations with Workarounds

• System ID
  Problem: The System ID changes when booting from a local drive or a network drive. (Ref #990)
  
  Workaround:
  Boot only from the same local hard drive for all users.
• Using Norton Ghost - Corporate edition
  With the client installed, Norton Ghost Corporate edition does not reboot the PC to perform the ghost operation. (Ref #2014)
  
  Workaround:
  Uninstall the client first.

Limitations

• 3Com wired NIC Model # 3CCFE574BT
  The discontinued 3Com wired NIC driver crashes or hangs the system when used with the Client. There is no known driver from 3Com to solve this issue. (Ref #2008)
