New versions of the SSH Tectia released!
----------------------------------------------
The new versions of SSH Tectia have been released today.
Evaluation and Commercial versions of SSH Tectia Client 4.1, SSH Tectia Server 4.1 and SSH Tectia Connector 4.1 are now available at SSH website! http://www.ssh.com/support/downloads/
**SSH Tectia Certifier 3.0 introduces a unique concept of integrated identity management that allows organizations to replace weak legacy authentication with digital certificates and strong, two-factor authentication tokens without introducing a new layer of user management.
The new integrated identity management has been developed in cooperation with vendors such as IBM, HP, and Computer Associates to ensure seamless compatibility with the leading identity management products. Other new features of SSH Tectia Certifier 3.0 include fine-grained dual control and enhanced auditing.
**SSH Tectia client/server solution 4.1 introduces integration with Entrust Authority enabling automated lifecycle management of both user and host keys for added security and scalability. The new version also enhances platform support of SSH Tectia Client and Server with SuSE Linux Professional and Red Hat Enterprise Server 3.0.
**SSH Tectia Manager 1.2 adds centralized deployment and operation of PKI credentials which reduces the complexity and costs of using digital certificates for strong user authentication and scalable host key management in SSH Tectia client/server solution environments.

* Tips & Tricks: New Certificate Daemon in SSH Tectia Server 4.1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SSH Tectia Server 4.1 introduces a new dedicated daemon for certificate authentication. The new ssh-certd daemon has its own configuration file, but it can also use the existing server configuration for backward compatibility.
The dedicated certificate daemon speeds up the certificate validation process and provides new features such as certificate revocation list (CRL) caching to memory or a local disk, automatic CRL update before expiration, possibility to optionally use expired CRLs, CRL pre-fetching according to a defined time interval and possibility to manually configure the OCSP responder address.
For more information on the new certificate daemon, please see our Knowledge Base article ID 8838.
Knowledge base articles for SSH Tectia products are available at our support site http://support.ssh.com. From the main menu, select 'Knowledge base',
