Enhancements/Addressed Issues

Fortinet Agent Packages contain all of the files required by the FortiNAC server for each agent and the latest version of each agent type, such as the Persistent Agent or the Dissolvable Agent. In some cases, agents cannot be distributed directly from FortiNAC, such as the Android Mobile Agent which must be distributed through Play Store. However, those agents do require supporting files on the FortiNAC server.

NOTE: It is recommended that you use the most recent version of the Agent, whenever possible, to take advantage of the latest features and updates to the Agent software.

NOTE: Any agent version prior to 3.1.5 is not forward compatible with a certificate signed with SHA2 RSA Encryption. If you have Persistent Agent versions 3.0 - 3.1.4 deployed, do not update to a SHA2 Certificate until the legacy agents are upgraded to a newer version.

Unless otherwise specified, enhancements apply to all types of agents. These Enhancements are in addition to the Enhancements that are outlined in previous releases. For previous versions, refer to the Release Matrix document in the Resource Center on the Fortinet web site.

Ticket #

Description (5.2.1)
