New version of Smoothwall iDex agent released

[ibpalle]

Hi all

 

A new version of the iDex agent - version 2.3.3 is now available for download from

 

https://software.smoothwall.com

 

Install over the top of the existing agent. A reboot should not be required.

 

Also, FYI - it's possible to add a a list of usernames the iDex agent should not report on. This can be useful if service accounts show up as logged in users.

 

From: https://kb.smoothwall.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007256160

 

Service accounts on the domain may be picked up by IDex when called and may cause authentication and group-mapping conflicts for users.

 

When using iDex agent 2.2.4 and above, a parameter can be added in the 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\IDexAgent\Parameters' folder. Create a string value called 'LogonExclusions' and add any usernames in a comma separated list. Once done, restart the iDex agent service. This will need to be done on all iDex installs.

The LogonExclusions key got deleted when installing the new version here so might be worth backing it up first if you're using it!

I was not aware that would happen. Thanks.
