Upgrade Considerations

Case #

Description

Agents Communicating with SSLv3: FortiNAC versions 6.2.6, 7.0.3, 7.1.0, and 7.2.0 use SSLv3 to communicate with 3.x agents earlier than version 3.3. When you have replaced all of your 3.2.x, 3.1.x and 3.0.x agents with the 3.3 agent (or higher), FortiNAC 6.2.6, 7.0.3 and 7.1.1 can be configured to disable SSLv3 agent communications - thus completely removing the vulnerability for “POODLE” (CVE-2014-3566.) Contact Product Support for details and assistance.

AV/AS Definitions: Using the "Cert-Check" and "Service" Custom Scans that are new in the 7.3.0 release of FortiNAC requires the use of AV/AS Definitions published June 22, 2015 or greater, Agent 3.5.0 or greater and FortiNAC 7.3 or greater.

Endpoint Compliance: Added Legacy Dissolvable and Legacy Persistent Agent options in Endpoint Compliance Configurations. These options allow you to deploy the latest agent that does not require certificates. Agents that do not require certificates are the 2.X Persistent and Dissolvable Agents and the 3.0.X Dissolvable Agent. If you choose Latest Agent, the Agent on your server with the highest version number is deployed. This could be an agent that requires a certificate. On upgrade the Persistent or Dissolvable Agent options that were set to Latest Agent will now be set to Legacy Agent.

Operating System Case: Agent V3.0 and higher requires Mac OS X 10.6 or higher.

Persistent Agent Case: Changed VMs running on LINUX hosts to show as new rogues. Previously, the VM would be appended to the host's adapters as a Virtual-Guest adapter.
