New in this Version

For security reasons certificates are going to be signed by CA certificate with the hash algorithm SHA1 from this update on.

Issues Fixed in this Version

E-Mail: Sorting of Primary Email Address

If more than one email alias was used within Active Directory the primary email address was not set correctly. From this update the email address of a Active Directory user will get an priority, so the primary email address is going to be set correctly.

E-Mail: Spaces within Email Attribute of Active Directory Users

If an attribute of an user within an Active Directory contained spaces and was this attributed used to genereate an email alias for that user, the email address could not be used. From this update spaces are handled correctly within such user attributes.

Net: DNAT Firewall Rules did not provide Port Range

If a firewall rule with destination NAT or source NAT and a custom service was configured, the firewall rule could not be set correctly under certain circumstances. This is going to be fixed with this update.

Net: Multiple IP Addresses of a DNS Host

If a link uses an DNS host as peer gateway and did the DNS host resolve to multiple IP addresses, the link could be restartet sometimes. This is corrected with this update.

VPN: Start of an Connection could prevent correct Routing

If a VPN connection was started twice the routes for new connections could not be established under certain circumstances. From this update on links are not be startet twiced if they are established correctly.

Authentication: Sychronization to Active Directory and empty Attributes

If an user attribute like otherMobile or otherTelephone was set to empty within Active Directory the synchronisation to the Collax LDAP directory could not finish correctly. From this update empty attribute named above were set correctly, appropriate LDAP attributes are going to be deleted.

Zarafa Groupware: Store of an Active Directory User failed to create

Deleting an user within the Active Directory and immediately creating a new user could result that the Zarafa store for the new user was not created. This is going to be fixed with this update.
