jetNEXUS ALB-X Accelerating Load Balancer Software Version 4.2.4 (Build 1764) 1st August 2018 ============================================================================================ New =========== JNALB-8572 CLI Lookup command added as an alternative when ping does not work owing to echo being suppressed Fixed =========== JNALB-8922 Updates to real server activity could affect load-balancing and in certain cases prevent service Remove potential divide-by-0 messages that were sometimes logged when there are no real servers to be used JNALB-8868 Remove errors when working with busy LDAP servers and fix pre-auth message "List index (0) out of bounds" JNALB-8699 Prevent flightPATH use server and use secure server from closing the connection unless needed Known Issues ====================== JNALB-8805 In a Manual Role H/A Pair, built from a cluster, where FTP shares a VIP with other services, this can cause the VIP light to show green inappropriately. JNALB-8823 Custom monitors using RS notes do not implement the new setting at the time the RS notes are edited JNALB-8846 Add-Ons lose network connectivity after ALB networking is restarted In order to work-around this, the affected add-ons can be stopped and started Software Upgrade Notes ======================= JNALB-8590 If an invalid flightPATH condition RegEx is configured, the actions are not to be carried out Please check for errors in syslog about flightPATH conditions having invalid regular expressions. These will cease to run. JNALB-8757 After upgrading, there is an error message "your session has expired. Please login again." This is a consequence of the change of session tokens. Log out and log in again to create a new security token. Software Revert Notes ====================== JNALB-8744 When downgrading from 4.2.4, there will be a few steps needed to transition back from the improved secure logon in 4.2.4. After moving to an earlier level of software, the work-around is to use the log out drop-down in the GUI. Once logged out, Log back in as normal to obtain the down-level logon. This is a deliberate change to a new security model. However the old GUI is not compatible with it. jetNEXUS ALB-X Accelerating Load Balancer Software Version 4.2.4 (Build 1763) 10th May 2018 ============================================================================================= New =========== JNALB-8695 Session persistence figures show on the statistics page in the GUI JNALB-5675 Source Routing Control Improvements ============= JNALB-8595 flightPATH Body-Replace not to cause slowdowns JNALB-8590 If an invalid flightPATH condition RegEx is configured, the actions are not to be carried out JNALB-8599 Improve Start-Up Speed of Primary Interfaces JNALB-8767 Simplified IPv6 functions with real servers and TCP monitoring JNALB-8788 Handle unusual browser behaviour - strip path from uploaded file name JNALB-8668 Make ALB use less CPU when idle JNALB-8589 Maintain IP-List-Based tables over a restart JNALB-7884 Remove "connection:close" from response header with flightPATH action use server JNALB-7808 GUI login authorization hardened against brute-force attack JNALB-8604 Spectre and Meltdown Roll Back - not susceptible (Undoes JNALB-8587 Spectre and Meltdown) JNALB-8651 Pre-Authorisation for every request JNALB-8786 Keep VIPs on restart JNALB-8733 GUI Address can be Changed without manual intervention from the CLI login JNALB-8774 Defend against particular Formats of JSON causing a REST to delete all custom monitors (request to update a custom monitor) JNALB-8776 Prevent some sequences of operations causing an empty authorisation form config JNALB-8778 Increase ruggedness (on start-up) of other services if SSL has been given an incorrect configuration JNALB-8771 Troubleshooting page focus and scrolling JNALB-8728 Troubleshooting Trace - input for purpose and improved trace management JNALB-8777 Improve 2 of the default flightPATH rules (Hide CGI-BIN, HTML Extension) JNALB-4050 Remove the largely unwanted condition from 1 of the default flightPATH rules (Force HTTPS) JNALB-8813 Prevent GUI Refresh Resetting the User's Changes Fixed =========== JNALB-8766 ALB Persistent Cookie Load Balancing revalidate the session in traffic JNALB-8664 Change the help button in the GUI to the new site JNALB-8723 Fail-Over Latency - Must enforce >= 3500ms and <= 20000ms to correct settings JNALB-8697 Remedy many SSL connections placed at one time JNALB-8663 Remove seg fault after "Duplicate RS/VS Details" error message JNALB-8628 List-Based Persistence Sessions revalidate the session in traffic JNALB-8615 Bond interfaces VIP down after v4.2.3 upgrade JNALB-8699 Improve High Resource Exchange jetPACK for Exchange 2016 JNALB-8720 Improve resilience during GUI updates JNALB-8796 Software page, Prevent Error in Download from cloud JNALB-8761 Upgraded from 1734 to 1756, SSL VIP is not responding JNALB-8724 Control diagnostic log disk space JNALB-8754 Pre-Authorisation improvements for NTLM with POST actions JNALB-7384 Pre-Authorisation improvements with LDAP JNALB-8650 Pre-Auth fix for restart JNALB-8643 Pre-Authorisation fix for NTLM and Forms authentication JNALB-6980 Downloaded apps are sometimes not shown in library apps page JNALB-8616 Correction for Add User Fault JNALB-8745 Reduced access to configuration to speed up responsiveness JNALB-8713 GUI cookie handling corrected JNALB-8644 Layer 4 Not Connecting To RS Until Data Received JNALB-8748 ALB Restarts - Health-check Noticed e12#10/L=67150 JNALB-8750 uploaded custom monitor scripts on the active ALB now migrate to the passive ALB Known Issues ====================== JNALB-8805 In a Manual Role H/A Pair, built from a cluster, where FTP shares a VIP with other services, this can cause the VIP light to show green inappropriately.
