WatchGuard Releases v3.1.2 for WatchGuard SSL 100 and 560

January 24, 2012 By Corey Nachreiner

WatchGuard is pleased to announce the release of WatchGuard SSL OS v3.1.2 for the WatchGuard SSL 100 and SSL 560.

The WatchGuard SSL appliances are easy-to-use, all-in-one, secure, remote access solutions for small to medium-sized businesses. WatchGuard SSL 100 supports up to 100 concurrent users to make secure connections. The SSL 560 appliance supports up to 500 concurrent users. The WatchGuard SSL appliances deliver applications directly to the desktop of your remote employees to provide increased productivity—from anywhere, at anytime.

Highlights of the WatchGuard SSL OS v3.1.2 release include:

  • Internet Explorer (IE) 9 support. You can now use IE9 to both configure the appliance’s WebUI and to access resources with the Access Client
  • The WebUI performs faster on SSL 100 devices
  • The Access Client has been improved to provide greater stability
  • Corrected various potential security vulnerabilities
  • Remote Desktop single sign-on now works with Windows Server 2008

      Not quite sure the question, but as to the second part… The SSL 100 WebUI performs faster than it did before v3.1.2. NOT, faster in comparison to the SSL 560.

      Damien,

      We are certainly not here to make your life hard, but I’m not quite sure I understand the feature request you are describing, “WebBlocker for rdp users”? Do you mean applying WebBlocker settings to people who use a Terminal server?

      If that is the case, do know we do have a Terminal Server agent. If you install that on the terminal server, and setup authentication so your terminal servers folks have to authenticate (via our java app) before they browse, then I think they can all have different WebBlocker policies.
