Documentation Improvements

  See CTE Use Cases for more information.

• Fixed the installation method errors for the Windows Silent Installation.

  See Silent Installation on Windows for more information.

• Clarified and simplified the Security Rule ordering section for Windows and Linux LDT policies.

  See Security Rule Ordering for Polices for more information.

Resolved Issues

• AGT-63194: [CS1599731]: RCA Request for "Server went to HUNG state during the NAS encryption

  In a previous fix, CTE added a call to an AIX kernel function from a service thread. The thread environment was not configured properly. This led to the hang/crash. This has been fixed.

• AGT-63279 [CS1599731] The snapshot directory was not skipped during Data Transformation

  The snapshot directory is a backup directory that is read only so CTE should not be altering it. This has been fixed. The snapshot directory is skipped during backup.

Note

If you change the key that is used during the backup, you will need to keep track of which key was used for each version of the snapshot so that if you want to restore the files, you have the proper key for restoration.

Known Issues

• AGT-48611: AIX upgrade from 7.1.0.33 to 7.5.0.25 with existing GuardPoints causes IO to hang when DSM is used as Key Manager

  This issue occurs when using DSM as the key manager with CTE/VTE v6.4.9 or a previous version.

  Work-around

  Restart the agent or reboot the machine.

Note

This issue does not occur when:

• Using CipherTrust Manager as the key manager

• Using DSM as the key manager with CTE/VTE v6.4.10 or a subsequent version
