      Release Notes v24.05

      2. Changes in this Release

      2.1. New Features

      • System Email Customization: You can now modify the system emails sent to your users. Modifications include branding to add your logo and color scheme and editable signature and footer text areas.

      2.2. Enhancements

      • Site and Portfolio Admin Management Improvements: We’ve made changes to the user onboarding process to improve clarity when creating Admin and Access Users.

      • Group Name Edit: You can now edit the names of existing groups.

      • Support for Identical TAN subnets on the iNode: Secure Edge v24.05 introduced the ability to add TAN networks with the same subnet to an iNode. We have enhanced the device onboarding process to support this enhanced iNode functionality. Now, when adding a device to an iNode with identical TAN networks, you can select the specific TAN network to associate with the device.

      • Web Interface (HTTP(s)) Connections Timeout: We’ve made enhancements to prevent unexpected timeouts when connecting to HTTP(s) type connections.

      • Other Systems Enhancements: We’ve made backend changes to increase the reliability and performance of RDP, VNC, and SSH connections.

      • Editing of hostname is not allowed for TCP/UDP connections.

      3.2. Known Problems

      • Portal login with external IDP can fail with error "too many redirects". This happens when the user is not logged into the external IDP or the portal url is https://.remoteaccess.view.com/userprofilepage. Changing the url to https://.remoteaccess.view.com will login to the portal successfully.

      • Sometimes a user delete can take longer (up to 10 min) to reflect across systems. Please wait 15 minutes when re-adding a user with the same email ID as the deleted user. If verification email is not received after re-adding the user, please contact Customer Support for resolution.

      • In the password reset screen, if the old password is set as the new password and a login is attempted immediately sometimes the password reset screen is presented again. Please wait 15-minutes when attempting to log-in.

      • In rare occurrences, user logout action gets redirected to the user profile page and the user is not logged out. The user should perform the logout action again.

      2.2. Enhancements

      • Improved Onboarding Performance: For RDP/SSH/VNC/Telnet Onboarding, there was an issue where changes to Group assignments would degrade the performance of the Remote Access Portal. This issue has been resolved.
