SSL Explorer 0.1.8 - March 14, 2005
Features
o Domain, user and password are can now be made optional for the rdesktop
and Java RDP applications.
o New option for VPN client 'No session timeout if active' that will
prevent SSL-Explorer timing-out the session if the VPN client is active.
o Session time-out can now be set per profile instead of globally. This
allows for example a lower timeout to be configured for profiles that
may be used on public machines.
o Web Forward URLs may now be edited.
o Application resources are now installed to
[install]/webapp/WEB-INF/classes/[pkg]/ApplicationResources.properties.
This will also for easier internationalisation and customisation.
o New permissions framework. See documentation for more details. Note,
the user enable / disable and administrator flags are now presented
as permissions. You may also have to change your list of default
administrators (now in the Setup -> General -> Security) and disable
any users you may have previously disabled.
o Support added in Web forwarding for MS Outlook Web Access.
o Active directory user information is now cached. This is backed up
by a new option (User / Group details cache TTL)
o New option to place restrictions on logging on multiple times. Can
either be restricted to single session per user, or a single session
per user / ip address (i.e. the same username may logon from the
same host many times).
o New option to disable automatic connection to 3SP application store.
o A single application descriptor may now contain many application
definitions, as demonstrated in the RMAS suite.
o Performance improvements to the secure proxy.
o Web forwards, Network places and SSL Tunnels may now all be added
as favorites. The home page has been reworked to display these
different categories of favorites.
Bug Fixes
o Built in users could not be created or edited in setup mode.
o Keystore password removed from Setup -> General Configuration ->
Web Server. This is now must be changed in the Setup -> Ceritificates.
o Roles with international characters in their names could not be deleted.
o Problem with secure proxy and sites that check the referer header.
o Classloader problems causing critical errors in accounts setup.
o Favourites on the welcome page were completely broken.
o Checking of password policy was being done for user databases that
dont support password change (i.e. AD). This caused a conflict as
AD has its own password policies. Password policies are now ignored
if the underlying database doesnt support password change.
o Performance improvements for listing of AD users.
o Change the auto-start flag on existing tunnels was broken.
o Profile selection no longer displays menu items and tabs that cannot
be used until a profile is selected.
o On Windows, when SSL Explorer is launched from a shortcut (either
setup mode or console), any start-up errors will be displayed in
a dialog instead of the console that rapidly disappears!
o Secure proxy now support file uploads.
o New 'Bind address' option to set what interface to listen for browser
connections on. Blank or 0.0.0.0 may be used to listen on all interfaces.
This returns functionality removed when we stopped using the XML for
Jetty configuration (jetty.xml).
o VPN client fails to tunnel with proxy connection. Added new code to resolve
this and added NTLM authentication (tested against ISA server) and
digest authentication (experimental may not work)

=================
SSL Explorer 0.1.7 - January 28, 2005
Features
o Session timeout may now be configured.
o Application shortcuts may be edited.
o Global application shortcuts may now be defined.
o Many changes to the format of application.xml have been made. More details
will be made available in the documentation.
o New Application Store management features including download applications
from the new 3SP Application Store.
o Embedded clients now supports authentication via a ticket. This allows
SSL Explorer aware applications to be defined and launched without
authenticating again.
o VPN client now has a console where all log output can be monitored.
o New 'HTML' application bundle type allowing Applets and ActiveX
components to be deployed. The same features that are available for
Java applications are available, including tunnels and embedded client
ticket authentication.
o Added tunnel inactivity timeout (defaults to 10 minutes).
o If SSL Explorer is running on a network where it is required (or useful)
to use a proxy server for outgoing connections, both HTTP and SOCKS
servers may now be configured.
o Tunnels can now be edited (both personal and global).
o New options to 'Try current user' and 'Try guest' for authentication in
Network Places (both HTML and WebDAV).
o Option to prevent application tunnels being started on the
preferred port. Add the attribute 'usePreferredPort' and set a value of false.
o New screens to create, edit and delete replacement patterns used to process
pages loaded through the secure proxy feature.
o New feature to check the VPN clients environment (Os name, version, patch level and
Java version and vendor). The feature must be enabled in the Setup -> General
then a new setup section will appear allowing you to configure the restrictions.
o Progress bar shows slightly (!) more accurate progress.
Bug Fixes
o Sessions will no longer timeout during webdav operations or if tunnels are open.
o Uploaded files were being saved to memory first making it impossible to
upload large files.
o Robots.txt added to prevent search engines finding SSL Explorer installations.
o Some Windows Networks would not allow access (when a host was not part of a domain).
o Password / Security options are back again, this time in Setup -> General
o Username / Password will no longer be remembered by the browser at the login screen.
o Bookmarks now work in web pages loaded through the secure proxy.
