feature which now brings full SSL tunneling
support to SSL-Explorer. A series of improvements
were also made to the secure proxy Web forwarding
feature for a more robust intranet browsing
experience. Lastly, a number of minor bugfixes
were included with this release.
A new reverse proxy feature was introduced, which
provides a far more robust Web forwarding
facility. This feature is currently touted by a
number of tier-one vendors as a solution for the
provision of intranet access to remote VPN users.
As a welcome byproduct of the reverse proxy
feature, SSL-Explorer now fully supports the
enhanced ActiveX user interface of Microsoft
Outlook Web Access 2003. An extensive series of
bugfixes have been implemented, along with
improved proxy support and a much simplified
Active Directory configuration process.
This release contains several new features mainly concerning authentication methods. A new 'security questions' module has been introduced that may be prompted in addition to regular password entry. Authentication schemes may also be defined that allow the administrator to configure authentication policies to suit their environment. This allows the user to select from a range of defined authentication schemes when logging in. Several usability enhancements have also been introduced, the most notable of which being the dynamic popup menu.
This release contains a number of new features such as the
ability to view the currently logged-in users and disconnect
their sessions if necessary. The software can detect when new
SSL-Explorer releases become available and also detect when
new versions of the provided extensions are released.
