Software-update: Symantec Endpoint Encryption 11.4.0 MP 2

Symantec dat tegenwoordig onderdeel is van Broadcom, heeft in het verleden twee verschillende bedrijven overgenomen die encryptiesoftware ontwikkelden: GuardianEdge en PGP. Symantec bracht de software van deze twee acquisities lange tijd als twee verschillende encryptieproductlijnen uit. De GuardianEdge-lijn werd hernoemd in 'Endpoint Encryption' en de PGP-lijn werd hernoemd in 'Encryption Desktop', samen met 'Encryption Management Server'. Voor een buitenstaander was het verwarrend dat één bedrijf twee verschillende encryptieproducten uitbracht die met elkaar concurreerden en die niet met elkaar konden samenwerken. Daaraan is met de uitgave van Endpoint Encryption 11 in 2014 grotendeels een einde gekomen waarin deze technologieën samen werden gevoegd. Het ontwikkelteam heeft Endpoint Encryption versie 11.4.0 MP2 uitgebracht, met de volgende lijst veranderingen:

Introduced SEE Management Agent Command Line InterfacePrevented improper use of the REINSTALLMODE parameter while performing fresh installation or upgrade of SEE client componentsRemoved the installation prerequisite for a system restart following updates to third-party softwareEnhanced Admin Log and Client Events Log attributes

While installing or upgrading the Symantec Endpoint Encryption Management Server, when you click Next after entering credentials on the Database Access page, the database user is validated immediately without any delay. [EPG-30897]In a Symantec Endpoint Encryption setup where managed computers are named similarly to usernames, searching for users (on the Server Role Configuration > Add Users / Groups > Select Users tab) now displays only the users that match the search term, not computers. [EPG-30901]FileVault users that use spaces in their password are now successfully authenticated with SEE for FileVault Agent for sending the personal recovery key (PRK) to the SEE Management Server. [EPG-30902]The SQL Server connection timeout is now increased so that the upgrade of Symantec Endpoint Encryption is successful in a setup with a large database. [EPG-30910]
