System Management: Overwrite MySQL configuration settings

This release gives you the ability to override MySQL configuration values. Depending on the application that works with the database, it may be useful to adjust the automatically determined configuration values. For Kopano installations, these values should only be changed in exceptional cases. Only in installations with a large number of users and unusual requirements can adjustments lead to better performance. Changes should only be made by experienced administrators or on the recommendation of support. The section is divided into three parts. The values for the MySQL server and the storage engines MyISAM and InnoDB can be configured. If a field remains empty, the default value is used. The names of the fields are linked and lead to the documentation of the respective value.

System Management: Linux Kernel 4.9.186

Web Proxy: Saving custom URL Lists

Custom lists offer the possibility to maintain one or several URL lists. These lists can be used in the Rules. The creation of custom lists with more than 7000 entries was acknowledged by an error. This behavior is corrected with this update, own lists can now easily contain over 10000 entries.

Certificates: Certificate Creation

Certificates can be added under “Usage Policy -> X.509 Certificates”. Due to an error, user-type certificates were generated incorrectly. The certificate purpose was in this case “SSL client: No” instead of “SSL client: Yes”. This is fixed with this update. Furthermore, under certain circumstances, certificates could not be generated in every key length. This is also fixed. This update also generates an error message if the entered CA password is wrong.

VPN: VPN connection with revoked certificates

The VPN component charon has shown unexpected behavior and VPN connections with a certificate revoked by a CRL. With this update prevents VPN tunnels from being set up with revoked certificates. Existing VPN tunnels remain active until the next re-keying (default: 9 hours).

Notes

E-Mail: Avira AntiVir prior Version 7.1.6

From Avira, an automatic update of the core components of Avira has been carried out. In this context, a new dependency of the libraries has been added, the next time the virus scanner is not started can be resolved. The result is that the virus scanner does not work during a reboot or configuration change is restarted. For security reasons, emails will no longer be delivered. To solve the problem, please update your server to version 7.1.6. Note: As long as the virus scanner is not restarted, it works in its entirety.
