Client for Open Enterprise Server 25.2 is an update to Client for Open Enterprise Server 24.4. This release includes integration with Advanced Authentication version 6.4.3.3, providing improved security and compatibility enhancements.
This release integrates Advanced Authentication 6.4 Service Pack 3 Patch 3.
For more information, see Advanced Authentication Release Notes.
In earlier versions, the Client for Open Enterprise Server needed to programmatically set the TLS version in the existing SDK. Upgrading to Advanced Authentication SDK version 6.4.3.3 removes this limitation and provides additional security.
For information on installing the Client on a single workstation, see Client for Open Enterprise Server Installation Quick Start.
For advanced installation options and procedures, see Client for Open Enterprise Server Administration Guide.
AutoAdminLogon now supports empty passwords
In earlier versions, when AutoAdminLogon was enabled and Client for OES was set as the primary credential provider, a non-empty Windows password was required.
In this release, the client removes this requirement to align with Microsoft behavior, which allows AutoAdminLogon with an empty password.
Compatibility with NetIQ AAF 6.4.3.3
Installing NetIQ Advanced Authentication Framework (AAF) version 6.4.3 previously prevented Client for OES from functioning as the primary credential provider.
This issue has been resolved in NetIQ AAF 6.4.3.3. OpenText recommends using AAF 6.4.3.3 in conjunction with Client for OES 25.2 to ensure proper credential provider integration.
Updated "Save As" functionality in folders with delete inhibit attribute
In earlier versions, performing a Save As operation was not possible in folders with the Delete Inhibit attribute set.
In this release, file creation is now prevented if ERASE rights are lacking and the application (e.g., Notepad, Word) requests DELETE access during file creation.
The Delete Inhibit attribute is no longer considered during the file creation process.
Accurate display of MFA method descriptions
In earlier versions, the graphical user interface displayed incorrect labels for selected multi-factor authentication (MFA) methods when Advanced Authentication (AAF) was enabled. For example, TOTP was incorrectly shown as "password."
In this release, the issue has been resolved when used with NetIQ AAF 6.4.3.3. MFA methods are now accurately labeled in the user interface.
