AGENT FOR WINDOWS NT v4.0.3 README July 11, 1997
=================================================================
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CONTENTS OF THIS DOCUMENT
-----------------------------------------------------------------
o Supported platforms
o Installation notes
o New features/Changes/Problems resolved
o Unsupported features
o Known anomalies
o Media contents
-----------------------------------------------------------------
SUPPORTED PLATFORMS
-----------------------------------------------------------------
o Windows NT v 5.0 (Intel and DEC ALPHA only)
o Windows NT v 4.0 (Intel and DEC ALPHA only)
o ACE/Server v 2.0 and above (all currently available releases)
o PowerPC is no longer a supported platform.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION NOTES
-----------------------------------------------------------------
o DO NOT attempt to install this product on NT releases older
than 4.0! NT release 4.0 introduced support for CAB file
installation which is required for the installation program.
o In a domain environment, the ACE/Agent for NT should be
installed on the primary domain controller before it is
installed on any of the backup domain controllers.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
NEW FEATURES/CHANGES/PROBLEMS RESOLVED in v4.0.3
-----------------------------------------------------------------
o Dropped support for Power PC platform.
o User authentication instructions included in distribution media
and installed in the %SystemRoot%\system32\ACECLNT directory.
o Internal functional compatibility with ACE/Agent for Netscape
WebID features allows for interoperability between Microsoft
IIS servers and Netscape Web servers.
o The Remote properties sheet uses a fixed width font to display
the editable custom logon greeting. This allows easier editing
when theusers are trying to create patterns for logon banner
text.
o The Web properties sheet no longer requires users to restart
the WWW service for any changes in the settings. All changes
take effect immediately after the OK or Apply button is pressed.
The only change that requires a service restart is changing the
enable status of the WebID feature set.
o The WebID system generated PIN is now displayed on a separate
page based on the SHOWSYS.HTM template. This page is only visible
for 10 seconds before the user is prompted to authenticate again.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
NEW FEATURES/CHANGES/PROBLEMS RESOLVED in v4.0.2
-----------------------------------------------------------------
o The Remote properties sheet of the ACE/Client control panel
provides an option to disable the domain prompt during remote
user logins. If the Disable Domain Prompt option is selected,
you may specify a default domain for Remote Access logins
(RAS). The default domain will be used and any invalid
username/domain pair will force the user to enter their
username again.
o The control panel application allows setting of a custom logon
greeting for Remote Access logins (RAS).
o The control panel application offers the option to prevent user
name resolution for the NT Event Log messages when the challenge
all option is active. This will reduce the logon delay when the
RAS users are members of very large NT domains.
o The control panel application will only prompt users to reboot
the workstation if they changed the enable status of local
authentication.
o The control panel application will prompt users to restart the
NT Remote Access Service if they changed the enable status of
remote access authentication.
o The Event Log will display the selected primary address for a
multihomed client when there is ambiguity. The default address
is the address associated with the machine name definition in
the TCP/IP network settings.
o Fixed a problem where a user would get the error
"Authentication server not responding" during an authentication.
This problem sometimes occured if the ACE/Client and ACE/Server
were running on the same Windows NT system.
o Fixed a problem where the Remote Access Server (RAS) service
would de-activate a phone line after numerous failed
authentication attempts.
o Correction of duplicate packet detection fixes problem with
access denied when ACE/Server logs report PASSCODE accepted.
o Eliminated timeout when accessing slave ACE/Server after master
has gone offline.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
NEW FEATURES/CHANGES/PROBLEMS RESOLVED in v4.0.1
-----------------------------------------------------------------
o The group memberships that control "Local" and "Remote" SecurID
PASSCODE challenge have been set to conform with the following
table:
---------------------------------------------------------------
| Member of => | SDLOCAL | Domain SDLOCAL |
---------------------------------------------------------------
| Local Logon | Challenge | Not Applicable |
---------------------------------------------------------------
| Domain Logon | Challenge on DC | Challenge on every machine |
---------------------------------------------------------------
If a Domain Logon is attempted on a machine where a Local
account with the same name is a member of "SDLOCAL", then the
user will be challenged even if the domain account is not a
member of "Domain SDLOCAL". The same rules apply for "SDREMOTE"
and "Domain SDREMOTE".
o ACE/Client supports the protocol changes introduced in
ACE/Server v2.3
o Memory problem with NT/RAS service causing abnormal termination
of the RAS process after prolonged continuous operation.
o WebID protection on CGI scripts and executables is now applied
correctly and will work with FORMs using "GET" or "POST" in the
ACTION tag.
o WebID administration will handle the "Show Files" option and
will not drop individual file protections between successive
runs.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
NEW FEATURES/CHANGES/PROBLEMS RESOLVED in v4.0
-----------------------------------------------------------------
o Support for SecurID authentication on Microsoft IIS Web Servers
running under Windows NT 3.51 and Windows NT 4.0.
o New design of Control Panel application with full
context-sensitive Help available.
o A "Challenge All" switch has been added for local authentication.
o Problem authenticating RAS users more than once after a reboot.
The previously known fix was to reinstall ACE/Client for NT and
change the binding of the primary Network Interface Card (NIC)
under the TCP/IP protocol. It is no longer required to do this.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
UNSUPPORTED FEATURES
-----------------------------------------------------------------
o Security for Windows NT/RAS is invoked only if the user is
connecting through a COM port. There is no support for ISDN or
X.25.
o ACE/Agent protection is invoked only at the access points of
the network. There is currently no SecurID support for
netlogon access to Windows NT servers.
o WebID doesn't support virtual servers with different home
directories for the Microsoft IIS (Internet Information Server)
environment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
KNOWN ANOMALIES
-----------------------------------------------------------------
o When the status of the WebID feature is changed from enabled to
disabled and vice-versa the WWW service must be restarted. To
perform this operation in IIS 4.0 K2 you must use the Control
Panel Services applet. Using the Management Console function to
stop and restart the Web Sites is not accomplishing the same
result.
