SG 2.1.11 Known Issues (Won't Fix) for Build 21545

Report created November 8th, 2004
IssueService RequestDescription
162741-1105901The Management Console GUI does not use the browser's proxy settings.
17966NONEImproper TFTP method handling in SGOS
19365NONEVPM window prompts you to save work on exit, even if no changes were made
19455NONEWhen taking a disk off-line from the MC, the request appears to fail when in fact it succeeds. From Management Console>Statistics>General>Disk, select a disk and press “Take disk # offline”, and click “OK” in the pop up window. The Management Console will become unresponsive for a few seconds and then pop up a message “Request rejected. This request cannot be honored. The disk is in an invalid state, or otherwise inaccessible, and cannot be taken offline.” In reality, the disk was successfully taken offline, and can be verified from the CLI or by refreshing the Management Console.
19515NONEStarting VPM may generate an error using the combination of JRE 1.3.1, Netscape 4.78/4.79 and Win98/NT4.
206131-2741922WebSense4 per-user does not work when the base DN for IPlanet/Novell Directory servers have "dc".
21330NONESelecting View->Object Occurrences... from the VPM menu currently works only for the Source & Destination columns.
21440NONEStarting VPM may generate an error using the combination of JRE 1.3.1, Netscape 4.78/4.79 and Win98/NT4.
21577NONEThe Management Console allows invalid base DNs to be specified. If these happen to be numeric, the CLI misinterprets them as IP addresses, rather than as illegal base DNs.
21643NONEIf you select an LDAP realm and add a location string while you are running on WinXP, Netscape 4.79, and Sun's JRE 1.4.0, the dialog box might not close. The only way it closes is when you cancel the operation.
21645NONEEnabling "Reject inbound connections" should warn the administrator about the possibility of losing that interface.
21667NONEConfiguring an incorrect port for the management console will only result in the standard error message
21712NONEStarting VPM may generate an error using the combination of JRE 1.3.1, Netscape 4.78/4.79 and Win98/NT4.
21771NONEThe XML version of the page does not translate all the & into the XML representation of &amp. This causes an error when trying to display in Netscape or IE. Please use the SYSInfo or SYSInfo/html console URL instead.
21775NONEIf you download a JRE from Sun instead of using the JRE shipped with your browser, the fonts change and some text, such as the serial number in the Management Console>Statistics>Disks, might be difficult to read. For best results, use the JRE that is shipped with the browser.
21857NONEWhen the DNS service is down or if DNS server is not a real DNS server, an "ICMP port unreachable" message is returned from the DNS server. Blue Coat's DNS code interpreted this as CE_DNS_CONNECTION_REFUSED error. The code should convert this error to "DNS server failed".
21898NONETransparent NTLM single sign-on does not work if the explicit attribute is disabled on the transparent port (default 80). The workaround is to enable the explicit attribute on that port.
21959NONEIf the first attempt to full download SF database is interrupted, any subsequent attempts will fail until a new version of the database is available. New Smartfilter databases are published once a day, the workaround is to try again after 24 hours.
22088NONEThe fan and power supply expansion numbering do not start at 0 in the CLI. The numbering is correct in the Management Console.
22370NONEEditing a port from the Management>Services window to an existing port deletes that port.
22614NONEWhen changing the bandwidth options through the Management Console (Management>Caching>Bandwidth), the pipelining configuration (enabled/disabled) might toggle between the default and custom options. Use the (config bandwidth-gain) view CLI command to verify the pipelining feature status.
22723NONEThe Management Console fails to load some gifs; this appears to be an issue IE parsing javascript in some versions of IE (IE 6.0.2800.1106).
23151NONEOnly the first 59 characters are used for the filename prefix for archive-configuration
23153NONEWhen the archive configuration password is greater than 31 characters, during the FTP upload the password is sent as "NULL".
23196NONEA page fault occurs in process "HTTP WRK01809:: FD09FF80RW" in "policy_enforcement.dll" at .text+0x22C21
23366NONEWhen encrypted passwords are set, they are not decrypted to determine if the cleartext length of the password is greater than the allowed length. Administrators need to ensure that the encrypted password corresponds to a cleartext password that would be valid on the ProxySG
234391-3409423VPM only support ASCII - it does not support international or double byte character sets
23466NONEIf you use VPM and a string of 512 characters, including the attribute in the Group field is entered, AND if the Base DN is chosen or entered in the Group Base-DN field, VPM does not give an error saying that the max group length is exceeded. It just ignores the Base-DN configured and uses the value configured in the Group name field.
237671-3495430TWURL: url_rewrite transform sometimes does not execute.
237681-3495430N/A
24032NONEThe .asx file doesn't get rewritten if certain conditions are not met: for example, type of file-extension, MIME type, and user-agent.
242191-3473024N/A
242591-3632946N/A
24546NONENo matter what number you set for maximum connections, Real Proxy only allows number-1 players to play. This only happens if you use port 554. It does not happen if you use port 1091.
245661-3370635, 1-3915246, 1-4285348Authorization policy differences between CA4.x and SG 2.x inhibits the ProxySG from distinguishing Denied (forbidden) from Unauthorized policy decision results. The result of such a decision is a HTTP 403 DENIED response for users that result in a Unauthorized when a 401/407 challenge would be desired.
246551-3686912N/A
253931-3906122N/A
25419NONEWhen entering an invalid time in the MC Realm timeout field and applying the change, the invalid time is not applied, but the original value is reapplied.
25480NONEThe ProxySG gives an error page if the redirect request url does not have a trailing slash after the domain name of the origin content server.
26376NONEAll base-DNs from all LDAP realms are listed in the VPM dropdown lists for domain and base DN.
26546NONEEntering unprintable ASCII characters--arrows, ESC, and the like--inside the CLI inline policy command could have unexpected results.
268031-4373228, 1-4373232A Page fault 0xAF3D97EA in RealProxy deployments. The workaround is to change RealProxy pull splitting protocol to tcp from udp.
26829NONEYou cannot cut and paste the output of http://x.x.x.x:8081/config_policy_source.xml. Unusual characters will display in the output. Instead, refer to the SGOS documentation through the Documentation link at the top of the screen, and check Chapter 7 for proper procedures to "Share VPM Files Among Multiple Port 80 Security Appliances."
26986NONEIf you have difficulty launching VPM, see if your browser is running a native pop-ad suppression program. These programs must be disabled for VPM to be launched.
27045NONEFor WebFTP requests, if always_verify() policy is configured then content should be scanned using an ICAP policy, which is not configured for patience page delivery.
27051NONEYou might experience problems with download agents and virus scanning due to the potentially long scan times. If the agents do not get a response before their timeout time, they will attempt to reconnect and re-download the request file and will eventually stop trying. To avoid this, the timeout times for these agents are increased significantly (scans on loaded ICAP servers can take minutes) .
273531-4480801N/A
277651-4536015, 1-4551808, 1-4581367, 1-4598701, 1-5286745, 1-5459516If you have a ProxySG SG-400 series model, do not use NIC-0 at 10 Mb/sec or half duplex. It might hang, although you will still be able to ping the system. Instead, use NIC-1 (B#27765).
289131-4740516Incomplete invalid requests that begin with numeric values such as www.1 or www.2332 result in a POLICY_DENIED regardless of the policy configured when the desired effect should be a UNRESOLVED_HOSTNAME.
291261-4809640Executing complex transforms in server portalling deployments may not work correctly - this deployment scenario is supported in SG3.
295791-4990801Using degenerative regexes such as url_regex="(\w\w\w\w)*\.solidworks\.com\/." may lead to a PF in "Policy Decision Worker" in "shared_dll.dll" at .text+0x14D16. The solution is to rewrite such regexes.
298851-5028411Use of a "?" in (config smartfilter)download path "http://www.myurl.com/mypath?" does not work for configuring the smartfilter URL. Workaround is to use the MC GUI or reconfigure downloading via FTP.
299921-5067041If response from OCS is missing the HTTP-version field in the first line of the response as required by RFC 2616, then the ProxySG will mistakenly send an ICAP RESP-MOD request without a res-hdr but will include a res-body. Most ICAP servers will reject such a message with a 400 Bad Request response. Work around is to not scan http version 0.9 responses. i.e. http.response.version =! 0.9 response.icap_service(icapservicename)
30095NONEThe ProxySG does not return a patience page if the requested object does not contain HTTP headers. The workaround is to modify the requested object to contain the HTTP version line (such as "HTTP/1.0 200 OK" ).
304411-5191660N/A
30587NONEPage fault, process "SSPIAdmin" in "authsspi.dll" at .text+0x2C6C
307871-4807809, 1-4807824, 1-5252951Manufacturing error
309161-5310751Directory listing FTP objects can be served from cache despite being state. The workaround is to delete such objects from the cache. To prevent these objects from being served stale in the future enable "http strict-expiration serve" and install the following example policy in the cache layer, "method=GET url_scheme=ftp response_header.Last-Modified=!".*" ttl(x)", where x is the desired ttl in seconds for directory list objects.
321231-5693114Under certain circumstances, if the newly downloaded system image is not completely written to disk before the unit is restarted, a failure to load the new OS can occur.
327261-5974751The ProxySG's syslog daemon fails to start if the DNS lookup of the configured loghost fails.
32815NONERemove extraneous "Invalid EEPROM checksum" message from serial console at startup.
420121-5936941, 1-5936948ICAP Respmod messages are flawed when OCS sends a partial response.
42875NONEIf a large object download is initiated when browser is displaying blank home page and the ProxySG is configured to show progress notification pop up window while ICAP virus scanning, the browser goes to the URL that was last visited and since the starting point was a blank home page, the javascript revisits the last request in history (i.e. the patience page). To work around, visit some other URLs and then initiate the large download.
465791-7654357It is possible for the daily HB stats report from the ProxySG to drift by approximately 5 minutes per day
