Fireware 12.5 - General Availability
We are pleased to announce that Fireware 12.5 and the corresponding
WSM 12.5 software are now Generally Available (GA) for download from
the WatchGuard software download center. The Release
Notes provide full details on enhancements and resolved issues. With each
new feature release, we also provide a What's New presentation and webinar recording that provide a comprehensive
explanation of the new capabilities. Here are some of the key highlights:
- Access Portal has been updated to provide reverse proxy support for internally hosted applications, including common Microsoft services like Outlook Web Access and Exchange. This capability provides VPN access without requiring a client, and a convenient single sign-on portal that can provide an additional layer of multi-factor authentication.
- The password override feature in web blocker is now integrated with Active Directory, allowing users to use their existing credentials when web pages are blocked.
- The Warn page in Web blocker is now customizable so admins can generate messages that are specific to their organization.
