Information
CHANGES IN VERSION
7.1.1
- PGPmail and PGPdisk may now be used
through Windows Terminal Services.
- This release incorporates all patches
and hotfixes released since 7.1, and fixes other
reported customer issues.
NEW FEATURES
Modularity
- PGP Corporate Desktop has been split
into four products:
- PGPmail - Email and File Security
- PGPdisk - Disk Security
- PGPvpn - IPsec Virtual Private
Networking
- PGPfire - Personal Firewall and
Personal IDS
PGP Corporate Desktop is also
available in the traditional form with all of the
products integrated together. Each of the products can
be installed and uninstalled in any combination to
automatically combine the
functionality.
Smart Card Support
- PGP now provides full support for
smart cards. Smart cards allow private key storage on
secured hardware. Decryption and signing operations
using private keys stored on smart cards occur on the
smart card itself. Keys can also be generated on the
card, and the cards do not allow the private keys to
be read off the card. The smart card features have
been integrated into PGP's core functionality and thus
are available in all of the PGP products whenever key
pairs are used.
- Three smart card types have been
certified for this release:
- Rainbow's iKey 20XX
- Schlumberger's Cryptoflex
- GemPlus GemSafe Enterprise
For best results, we recommend using
these cards. PGP also provides more generic support
for any type of smart card that provides full PKCS#11
compatibility.
- PGP's smart card implementation is
fully compatible with certificates placed on cards by
Windows 2000 or Netscape Communicator.
Personal Firewall / Personal IDS /
VPN
- Application-level firewall. PGP's
enterprise-class Personal Firewall and Personal IDS
(Intrusion Detection System) now supports the ability
to specify applications associated with each firewall
rule, and sports a significantly improved user
interface.
- Firewall rule learning. PGP can now
be told to watch your network traffic and write
firewall rules dynamically for you.
- Notifications of unknown network
traffic. PGP can now ask you whether you want to allow
or deny applications from communicating over the
network as they occur, and will automatically modify
your firewall rules as appropriate based on your
answers.
- Firewall rule sets can now be
exported and imported.
- VPN IP Range support. In addition to
the past support for VPN Subnets, PGP now supports
Ranges. For many networks, especially extremely large
networks, Ranges are a much superior way to specify
the configuration of the network.
- Sniffer-format intrusion packet
captures. Packets which cause the intrusion detection
system to fire are now automatically captured and
logged. They can later be analyzed using packet
analysis tools such as Sniffer.
- Automatic IP Address block ownership
tracing. When tracing Intruders, PGP will now provide
information about the ownership of the IP Address
block from which the intrusion originated.
- PGPfire is now compatible with the
CheckPoint SecuRemote VPN client.
Enhanced Exchange Server
Support
- Exchange server identities, which are
similar to ""/o=Acme/ou=HR/cn=Recipients/cn=JBob", can
now be automatically added as a second PGP user ID
when generating keys. The Outlook email plugin will
automatically lookup identities of this form as well.
This feature makes sending email using the Outlook
plugin in an Exchange Server environment even more
seamless.
Large File Support
- PGP now supports file
encrypt/decrypt/sign/verify operations on files
greater than 2.5 Gigabytes.
KNOWN ISSUES
- Due to a Windows 2000 limitation, you
cannot use the normal Delete function to delete a
folder on a PGPdisk volume that is mounted as a
directory. However, you can work around this
limitation by selecting the folder and pressing
Shift+Delete.
- If PGPfire is installed along with
CheckPoint's SecuRemote client, then the ipconfig
command line tool will not show the IP address of the
computer.
ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION
All PGP Corporate Desktop
Products
- Certain Microsoft Windows operating
system services are needed to authenticate
communication between PGP components on your computer.
On Windows NT, the "RPC Configuration" network service
is required. On Windows 2000, the "Client for
Microsoft Networking" component must be installed, but
may be disabled if so desired.
- The DKeyServ.exe service from the
iKey Token software must be running in order for the
iKey to interoperate properly. If Rainbow's software
is already installed on your computer, go to the
Services control panel and make sure that the Startup
Type is set to "Automatic" for DKeyServ.exe. If the
Rainbow software is not yet installed on your computer
and you want to load this service automatically during
its installation, then select the "Start CIP during
Windows startup" check box.
PGPmail
- The Windows Explorer provides PGP
with information only about the target of a shortcut
and not the shortcut itself. If you use the Wipe
feature in the Explorer, the shortcut itself will not
be wiped. The actual target will be wiped. When using
PGPtools, the shortcut will also be wiped.
- Hotkeys are for use with applications
that support general text editing. Using Hotkeys with
some applications may result in unpredictable
behavior.
- The PGP ICQ plug-in is not compatible
with ICQ's Multilanguage mode and Split Message mode.
Please make sure those options are disabled for proper
operation of the ICQ plug-in. ICQ 2001b is not
supported.
- The PGP Outlook plug-in does not
support using Microsoft Word as an email editor.
- When sending a PGP message in Eudora,
your message is converted to an attachment and
attached to a blank message when it's placed in your
Outbox. If "Keep Copies" is turned on in Eudora, then
the same thing happens to the copy of the sent
message. This behavior is normal for Eudora and is not
controlled by the PGP plug-in. If you find this
behavior to be undesirable, please contact Qualcomm at
eudora-bugs@qualcomm.com.
PGPdisk
- The Adaptec DirectCD software is
fully compatible with PGP. However, you must not
create a PGPdisk on a CD-R using Adaptec's CD-R
features that allow in place additions. You can create
a PGPdisk on a normal hard drive and then copy it to
the CD-R.
PGPvpn/PGPfire
- Do not attempt to manually uninstall
PGPnet. It is very important that you use the PGP
Uninstaller to remove PGPnet. The PGP Uninstaller can
be accessed via the Add/Remove Programs control panel.
- Do not attempt to make changes to the
PGPnet Virtual Identity Adapter. This adapter is
controlled programmatically, and cannot, for instance,
be given an IP address manually.
- On Windows NT and Windows 2000
platforms, the DHCP Client service must be running to
ensure proper operation of the PGPnet Virtual Identity
feature. To avoid problems, set your DHCP Client
service to start automatically.
- 3COM's Dynamic Access control panel
prompts you to reboot if you use Set Adapter to modify
your network bindings. Ignore this reboot request
until Windows has finished updating the network
bindings.
- PGPnet does not support Token Ring or
FDDI network interface cards.
- PGPnet is not compatible with the
Intel EtherExpress 16 driver.
- At release time, SMC had just
released new drivers for their 802.11 wireless cards.
These new drivers are required for PGP compatibility.
- This release of PGP has been tested
successfully with many third party VPN clients
including those from Nortel, CheckPoint, and
Cisco/Altiga. We recommend always installing PGP after
installing the third-party product as well as
uninstalling PGP or unsecuring all adapters prior to
uninstalling the third party VPN product.
- When using PGPfire with Nortel's
Contivity VPN Client, make sure the "Extranet Access
Client Adapter" is not secured.
- If PGPnet is installed, you cannot
use the default MSN dialer to connect to MSN. To
connect to MSN with PGPnet, use the Microsoft Dial-Up
Networking client.
- AOL 6.0 is not compatible with many
third-party VPN/Firewall products. Attempting to
establish a PGP VPN connection through an AOL 6.0
Internet connection is likely to fail. We recommend
using AOL 5.0 until AOL resolves these issues.
- The legacy authentication/RADIUS (aka
Extended Authentication) mechanism of the PGP 5
through 150 e-ppliance firmware version 6.0 is not
compatible with this release of PGP. This problem will
be resolved in the 6.1 firmware update for those
devices. Shared passphrase modes are fully compatible
with the current e-ppliance firmware. PGP's Extended
Authentication support is fully compatible with many
gateways.
- If you are planning to use Microsoft
File and Print Sharing Services on Windows 98 and
Windows ME platforms, then make sure that this is
installed prior to installing PGP. If it is added
after PGP, then you must run SetAdapter to clear all
adapters, and then run SetAdapter again (after reboot)
to secure the appropriate adapters.
- PGP is compatible with most PPPoE
clients. However, some of these clients require
changes to their configuration filesfor proper
operation. Please contact the support organization for
your PPPoE client for details if you experience
problems.
