- Active Directory Synchronization:
- Set Active Directory synchronization parameters (domain name, controller address, log-in, password and polling interval in seconds) on the Group page and select the AD group to synchronize with in UserGate group properties. Users from the selected domain groups will be automatically added to the corresponding UserGate groups. Authorization type will be set to “HTTP (NTLM) authorization.”
- Windows Integrated Authentication (aka NTLM authentication):
- Used both with and without AD synchronization. Based on SSO (Single Sign On) method: set proxy address and port in the client’s browser settings to enable automatic authorization in UserGate when requesting any website. Authorized users will have access to all UserGate services, including NAT rules.
- New Kaspersky Labs SDK:
- New SDK v.8 is now used to replace the old version of SDK v.4. Virus definitions in the new Kaspersky SDK do not support older definitions. Launch virus definitions update before running the antivirus application and wait the update process to complete. If you were running UserGate 5.2 with Kaspersky Antivirus, install UserGate 5.3 on top of the older version to keep your current license active (install UserGate 5.3 without removing UserGate 5.2; the new version will be installed correctly)!
- Entensys URL Filtering:
- Entensys URL Filtering module (BrightCloud in older versions) now requires individual registration. UserGate 5.3 comes with a 30-days trial license for URL Filtering module. Complete the update procedure (purchase license) to use the filtering capability upon the trial period’s expiration.
- New Registration Procedure:
- Online registration procedures are now used in the new UserGate version. You may request a trial license (30 days) or a full license key via a special form on the UserGate administrator console. You can also use this special form to update (include antivirus modules and URL Filtering module) or upgrade your UserGate (increase the number of sessions).
- Traffic Control Rules now Feature Category Filtering Exceptions
- :For example, you can create a rule to deny access to the Social Networks category and specify a website from this category (i.e. odnoklassniki.ru) that will be exempt from this rule. In older versions, you could set exceptions for IP-address (addresses) only.
- Set client IP-address array (max. 255) as source in Traffic Manager Rules:
- You can now apply one Traffic Manager rule to several LAN users even if their IP addresses do not belong to one continuous interval.
- More languages supported:
- Now UserGate is available in English, German, French, Dutch, Portuguese, Polish, Russian and Japanese.
