Barracuda SSL VPN Release Notes 2.4

  • Last updated on

Before installing any firmware version, be sure to make a backup of your configuration and read all release notes that apply to versions more recent than the one currently running on your system.

Do not manually reboot your system at any time during an upgrade, unless otherwise instructed by Barracuda Networks Technical Support. The update process typically takes only a few minutes after the update is applied. The appliance web interface for the administrator will usually be available a minute or two before the SSL VPN user interface. If the process takes longer, please contact Technical Support for further assistance.

Upgrading to Version 2.x

  • When upgrading from version 2.3 (or earlier) firmware:
    • Backups taken from earlier firmware versions will NOT restore properly with the new backup/restore functionality found starting in version 2.4. Make new backups after the firmware update.
  • Mapped Drives:
    • WebDAV is now the default method for providing Mapped Drives and configuration settings have been changed accordingly. Windows 7 and Vista 64-bit clients will be prompted to uninstall the current Dokan driver and also given the option to increase the maximum file download size to 2GB when launching Mapped Drives.
    • Client Certificates will need to be disabled when launching WebDAV Mapped Drives.
    • Version 2.3.1.013 is not compatible with systems that are clustered.
  • When upgrading from version 2.1 firmware:
    • Replacement Proxy Web Forwards for OWA that were created prior to version 2.2 are no longer supported. If you have one, you will need to replace it using the new OWA Template. Go to the RESOURCES > Web Forwards page and delete the old Web Forward. Then create a new one using the Mail Web Forward category.
    • When configuring Barracuda Network Connector on Macintosh systems, note that DNS insertion and Up/Down commands are mutually exclusive.
