Question:
- What are the Release Notes for WebMarshal 7.0?
Information:
The Release Notes included with WebMarshal 7.0 are accurate as of the date of publication.
WebMarshal 7.0.2 (7.0.2.8614) was released on December 14, 2017.
- Note that WebMarshal 7.0.1 was withdrawn. Extended testing identified an issue that could cause the WebMarshal Engine to stop responding in certain cases under heavy load. If you have installed 7.0.1 you should upgrade to 7.0.2 immediately.
Upgrade/Migration
Note that WebMarshal 7.X is a 64 bit application.
- Upgrade from 6.X migrates most settings and files to a new location.
- On upgrade from 6.X, Proxy Cache is cleared if it is configured within the WebMarshal installation location.
- Proxy Cache configured in a separate location (as recommended) is retained and used by 7.X.
- You must install new (64 bit) versions of virus scanners on each processing node and allow engine and signature updates to complete BEFORE upgrading to 7.X. Downloading the initial engine and signatures can take up to 15 minutes.
- If you require any WebMarshal services to run as specific accounts, after upgrade you must edit the new services and set the account credentials. By default the new services run under the local system account.
- MarshalFilter and Secure Computing SmartFilter are not available for licensing or installation in this release.
- You MUST remove any references to these items in configuration before upgrading. Services will not start if any references remain.
- For URL filtering, use the Trustwave Web Filter Database (M86 Filter List).
Supported Virus Scanners
WebMarshal 7.X supports 64 bit versions of Bitdefender for Marshal, Kaspersky for Marshal, McAfee for Marshal, and Sophos for Marshal.
- Symantec AntiVirus Scan Engine is not available for WebMarshal 7.X as of the date of this article, because a 64-bit interface DLL is not available.
- Sophos Anti-Virus (SAVI interface) is not available for WebMarshal 7.X as of the date of this article, because a 64-bit interface DLL is not available.
- Note that you CAN use Sophos for Marshal with WebMarshal 7.X.
- For customers currently licensed for Sophos (SAVI), Trustwave has agreed with Sophos to provide Sophos for Marshal, at no cost, for the remaining life of the customer's existing SAVI license.
- At the next renewal, to continue using Sophos for Marshal, customers must purchase Sophos for Marshal licensing from Trustwave on normal terms.
- To take advantage of this offer, customers (or partners) should contact their Trustwave account manager. Proof of the SAVI license is required, such as the original order confirmation.
