8.2.3 EA Release and Downloads

Follow

Netsweeper 8.2.3 EA is now available for early adopters that have already migrated to the EL8 based Netsweeper installation. This release primarily focuses on bug fixes, and improvements of new features added to the 8.2 release. Netsweeper 8 will only be available on EL8 and customers are expected to migrate to the EL8 base in the 7.2 release before planning the upgrade to Netsweeper 8 or above. All customers who want the features and improvements in the 8.2.2 release should upgrade their test environments and start providing feedback as we move forward to a GA release of 8.2 in early 2024. Netsweeper reminds customers EL6 extended support ends March 2024, so all customers should plan to migrate to EL8 before March 2024 for security related purposes.

If you have any questions or concerns about planning an upgrade to this release, please contact Netsweeper Technical Support (support@netsweeper.com).

Changelogs

Issue Type Ticket Summary

Improvement

NS-669

Added the ability to have NSProxy send RST packets for 'non-decrypted' deny decisions, so the browser does not retry the HTTPS request.

Bug

NS-759

All [apiname]_count queries would load the entire data structure into memory causing possible memory limit exceptions to be hit with large datasets.

Bug

NS-778

Client key in ClientHello can cause a fragmented ClientHello, which can cause the SNI name parsing to fail. Which can lead to the Policy Service to failing open, resulting in unfiltered requests.

Improvement

NS-783

The 'Anyone can view this report' ownership option has been replaced with the 'Share with' option.

Improvement

NS-797

We now trigger a log-only event when we detect 'decrypt://denied' but we do not get a corresponding HTTP request and the client connection is closed, (which indicates our CA certificate is not installed).

Bug

NS-805

Administration > Translations > Extract Catalog would display a blank screen when exporting.

Improvement

NS-806

When the Reporter generates a report with no data, we now remove the empty report output file.

Improvement

NS-810

The Policy Service must set a Client Filter cookie to indicate which protocol is used, allowing the nMonitor API to parse and use the appropriate username.

Improvement

NS-811

The nMonitor API can no longer use the 'request information' without performing a Policy Service lookup to validate the case and other information.

Bug

NS-813

Live Request Logs could cause session overwrite issues when a slow server or down server was being probed.

Bug

NS-822

We now clear any prior errors from Request Logs window when the 'Search' button is selected.

Bug

NS-823

Request Logs window would show a Session ID error once opened.

Bug

NS-825

The Request Logs would reload all screenshot images when a new 'row' was added, as the screenshots are index by row.

Bug

NS-827

Sysops without List Permissions are able to modify the list settings because of the changes to assume identity which include loading their last page and breadcrumbs.

Bug

NS-828

Deny Pages created and linked by SysOps were not being displayed in Tools > Deny Page > Content.

Bug

NS-829

If you had the Category view set to both 'WebAdmin' and 'Reporter,' and you attempted to deselect one, your changes would not save.

Improvement

NS-834

WebAdmin Log message for "Allowed request from IPADDRESS with valid server guid 'XXX'" has been removed.

Bug

NS-836

The user_groups table and user_restrictions table could become out of sync.

Bug

NS-838

If you disable the Protocol Detection Engine some traffic will not go into passthru mode properly and no Unknown Event will be triggered.

Improvement

NS-839

The nMonitor API did not respond with the 'OK:' response when we properly processed the event, returning an empty page instead.

Bug

NS-842

NSUP2Date did not set the hostname for the service to send to the WebAdmin for improved validation.

New Feature

NS-845

Directory Sync will now only add the missing Accounts to the Groups and not replace all Accounts in the Groups during the Sync process.

Improvement

NS-846

Improved the WebAdmin GUID remote server and configuration identification process.

Bug

NS-847

libwebdb was not validating Account type correctly, potentially allowing Accounts to download information it did not have permission to access.

Bug

NS-848

WebDB required undefined session variables.

Bug

NS-849

Report templates with custom Category filters added category numbers to the Report name errantly.

Bug

NS-850

Parsing the X-Forwarded-For header for Client Filter processing could cause the Policy Service to restart.

Bug

NS-852

When updating the static filter for reports, we did not check for the 'Manage all Groups' permission.

Improvement

NS-853

Added new token support for the API Test tool in the Webadmin.

Improvement

NS-854

Improved the ability to process CNS requests without adding any latency.

Bug

NS-855

SQL was giving an error when attempting to delete Deny Page content.

Bug

NS-856

Resolved an issue where users could not deselect the 'Default Request Log Server' option in the Administration > Services window.

Improvement

NS-858

We now close the session after updating the filters in all tables, so long queries and slow WebAdmin systems cannot cause filter update issues.

Bug

NS-862

Profile Manager: When the user changes the categories for a profile, it won't set the category template, just changes the categories.

Improvement

NS-864

We now import the 'Next Run Time' status when importing schedule Reports, including any 'temporarily stopped' statuses.

Bug

NS-872

The Client Filter Exceptions List now encodes spaces to %20 in the entry, as the file we export to is space encoded.

Bug

NS-873

Function iplist_ipv6_iprange_to_subnets could cause stack underflow when adding q.

Bug

The weekly Report date-dropdown list was inconsistent between the Report dropdown and the Report instance views.

NS-881

Bug

Improvement
