This release adds the Kerberos authentication method. Kerberos supercedes NTLM as the preferred method for authenticating Active Directory or Open Directory domain computers. If you are using NTLM succesfully, it is advised that you do not alter your settings unless you need a specific feature of Kerberos, such as support for Apple Mac. Non-domain devices will not work with Kerberos. Please see the Administrator’s Guide for more detail. This update does not change the operation of already configured systems.This release also adds Cookie based SSL login support, in order to better use the SSL login captive portal on mobile devices and tablets. The SSL login authentication method is now split into two methods, the traditional and the cookie based. This release changes some of the properties of the existing SSL login page, such as the way login messages are displayed. Please confirm that you are happy with the look of your login page after this upgrade in the unlikely event the changes have affected your setup. Consult the Administrator’s Guide for more information on this new feature.This update adds the following new features:

Ref. 5454 – Quick links to subsections have been added on each page.
Ref. 5575 – There have been fixes to access restriction on location-based blocking.
