A.4 Features and Enhancements in 4.0.21
4.0.21 includes the following new features and enhancements:
■ The following new buttons have been introduced in the Administration Server
interface:
– The button Undo Unsaved Changes is displayed along with the existing
buttons (Restart Proxy, Restart Socks, Load Configuration Files) when clicking
the Restart Required link. This button can be used to undo any unsaved
changes made through the Administration Server interface. When you click
this button, the administration or working copies of all configuration files (the
files under
config directory) are returned to their last backup versions.
– The button Undo Manual Changes can be used to undo any manual edits
done to the server configuration files. When you click this button, the server
copies of all configuration files (the files under
config ) are returned to their
last backup versions. The last backup versions are also stored in the
config
directory, and maintained by the Administration server.
■ A new parameter enable-ipv6 has been introduced for internal dns-lookup . For
more information, see Section 3.2.30.
■ A parameter search-in has been introduced for internal dns-lookup to handle
non-FQDN lookups. The
dns-lookup SAF fails unless the target hostname is an
FQDN. The parameter
search-in specifies a comma-separated list of domain
names.
Example:
DNS fn="dns-lookup" server="..." search-in="in.example.com,
us.example.com"
■ A new dbswitch parameter referrals has been introduced that optionally
disables referrals during LDAP search. This parameter is on by default. According
to your requirement, you may turn the referral off by setting the default value as
false .
Example:
directory default ldap:// ... default:referrals false
■ In this release, um-define-junction takes a new boolean parameter
secure-cookie . For more information, see Section 3.2.5.
