Description:

Service Pack 2 provides supoprt for secure socket layer (SSL) encryption between the log engines and SSL-compatible agents.

It extends the Forensic Anaysis search parameteres in the IDMEF and Firewall Templates.

It allows the Trend Analysis cubes to automatically group source and target IP addresses, so that a Trend Analysis cube can display more than 64,000 source and target IP addresses.

Contains the following previously or currently posted patch:

VigilEnt Log Analyzer 1.2 Hotfix 29312

Patch Corrects the following issues:

* VigilEnt Log Analyzer now provides secure socket layer (SSL) encryption between the analysis engine, log engines, and SSL-compatible agents. Installing this service pack lets VLA components communicate with the following SSL-compatible agents using SSL over port 1636:

- VigilEnt Security Agent for Windows 4.0
- VigilEnt Security Agent for Unix 4.0, plus Hotfix 30068
- VigilEnt Security Agent for iSeries with the following components:
* PSAudit 5.4
* PSSecure 7.0
* cumulative PTF 1X03080
* PSCOMMON Option 4

If you need to use a port other than 1636 for SSL communication, contact Technical Support for additional configuration information.


* Trend Analysis cubes now automatically group source and target IP addresses, so that a Trend Analysis cube can display more than 64,000 source and target IP addresses. If you install this fix in a production environment, existing Trend Analysis data is cleared. In a trial installation, existing Trend Analysis data is cleared and the original demo data is provided.


* The following Forensic Analysis search parameters in the IDMEF and Firewall templates now accept filters:
- AdditionalData meaning
- AdditionalData Data
- Action
- Protocol Version
- Rule Number
- Connection_Start_Time
- Connection Duration
- Size in Bytes

* VigilEnt Log Analyzer now displays a message if the logged-in user clicks Log Reports without having read and write permissions on the VigilEnt Log Analyzer computer.
