Web Agent Option Pack Upgrade Not Notified (159350, 161221)

Symptom:

If the Web Agent Option Pack is already installed, the installer does not detect the existing version and notify the user.

Solution:

This is no longer an issue. The Web Agent Option Pack installer uninstalls the existing version and upgrades to the new version automatically.

FCC Mistakenly Allows User to Authenticate Against a Resource Protected by the Windows Authentication Scheme (151098)

Symptom:

In certain configurations, a vulnerability existed whereby an attacker could use a Web Agent acting as an FCC to generate a SiteMinder session for any valid Windows user. This vulnerability existed in configurations in which the same SiteMinder Agent name or Agent group name is used in both an HTML Forms-protected realm and a Windows-protected realm.

Solution:

This issue has been fixed. The FCC no longer authenticates against Windows authentication schemes by default. However, this behavior can be changed by setting the EnableFCCWindowsAuth configuration parameter.
