Re: Management interface certificate problem with 7.1.3-7015
I had to upload the intermediate certificate on a couple of Sonicwalls to get the CA certificate to be acceptable and usable even though it was marked "Yes" under the Validated column. I found that surprising; I figured that if it was validated, an acceptable intermediate certificate was already installed on the firewall. Unfortunately, Sonicwall has had lots of surprises for us lately.
Directory Services Connector 4.1.22 - EoL?
I mentioned it a few times in the past, the situation around the Directory Services Connector used for SSO is unfortunate (don't get me started on Terminal Services Agent). The latest official release 4.1.22 is from Oct 2023 (!) and I've got a HotFix Release (still named 4.1.22) adressing some Windows Server 2022 issues.
But how about Windows Server 2025, will it work without issues? Is it even under development anymore?
@Community Manager could you please address this with Product Management, because having a security related Software installed from 2023 (or TSA from 2017!!!) does not spread much confidence on it. Thanks.

I would also like to put in this request, for AI to be added as a category.

Re: CATP reports "No detail to show. Go to Security Notices and try again "
My CATP reports are still working with today's catches.
Re: GeoIP - Blocking or Not?
I thought that "enable custom list" was to declare an IP address as beloinging to a specific country, i.e. 1.1.1.1 = AU, 1.1.1.2 = UK, etc. I will look into it further, though - I appreciate the reply.
