VMware SD-WAN Client | 26th September, 2024, 2024 Edition

  • Client Software Version v1.37.7-235

  • Portal Software Version 22-09-2024 (v1.19.2)

Check for additions and updates to these release notes.

Overview

VMware SD-WAN Client is part of the VMware SASE™ solution and is a cloud hosted service that allows organizations to create their own private, secure, high-performance networks, connecting all users, devices and cloud services – as if they are on a LAN.

Note:

The SD-WAN Client is comprised of two software types:

The Client software for the SD-WAN Client is used by your device (IoS, Android, Windows, Apple OS, and so forth) for implementing the SD-WAN Client application, and is upgraded by you as needed.

The Portal software for the SD-WAN Client is installed on the SASE Orchestrator UI for use in configuring and monitoring the service. The Portal software is updated by the SD-WAN Client team on the Orchestrator after a new version is released.

The SD-WAN Client Release Notes documents both resolved and known issues for Client software and Portal software while also documenting new features and enhancements for each software type.

The Client software and Portal software each follow a versioning system different from VMware SD-WAN and should be understood as distinct from SD-WAN or the SASE Orchestrator.

To find which version of Client software a user or server is running, navigate to Nodes > Users or Nodes > Servers. On both pages there is a column for Version which indicates the version of software the endpoint is running.


To determine the version of software the Client Connector is running, login to the Client Connect using SSH and run the “sdwan-client-cli -v” command in the CLI.

The following feature is added, and issues are resolved in version v1.34.7-224:

NEW FEATURE

Client (129038)

Proxy Auto-Configuration (PAC) files are supported for Windows and Mac

A PAC file defines how web browsers and other user agents can automatically choose the appropriate proxy server (access method) for fetching a given URL. The Client checks for a PAC file configuration to determine if it is present on the device, and then acts based on the received configuration. If the configurations match, it keeps the existing one and if they differ, the new configuration is stored and replaces the older file making the needed changes. The Client regularly checks to ensure the configuration is set and, if a user removes it, restores the configuration.

RESOLVED ISSUES

Client (132471)

Client should not failover to a link which is in a connecting state for a long time.

Client (139169)

Customer users may have difficulty logging into the client when it is woken up from sleep mode, including having the client return to the login screen after a successful logging in, and may also display a 001 or 003 error. The fix for this issue improves login refresh during the wake-up from computer sleep.

Client (137501)

Filter the current Client Connector’s IP address ranges from the ranges of other Client Connectors in the organization.

Client (137520)

Retry on 504 responses.

Client (138003)

Check for a version update during login instead of waiting for few minutes.

Client (138468)

v1.32.1

This section documents a new fix for the SD-WAN Client version v1.32.1 which was released on 16th January, 2024.

The following features are added, and issues are resolved in version v1.32.1:

NEW FEATURES

Client (121379 / 126266)

SD-WAN adds the ability to configure a DNS suffix to the suffix configuration field for a Client Connector. For LAN hostname resolution, customers typically use only the prefix of the hostname, while the operating system automatically adds the suffix of the local domain/s. Previously, when SD-WAN Client received these DNS requests, it only received the prefix and the request was dropped. Now a user can add a *.suffix domain to the suffix configuration.

Client (116311)

SD-WAN Client adds asynchronous DNS resolution. Asynchronous DNS resolution is a technique that allows a program to perform DNS queries without using too many resources, and improves the performance and responsiveness of this service when dealing with multiple or slow DNS servers which results in improved page loading speeds.

Client (131158)

Add disk encryption.

RESOLVED ISSUES

Client (129206)

DNS answer handling issue when a Tunnel is disabled and the first attempt fails to connect with a Client Connector domain.

Client (132024)

iOS (132126)

iOS (133112)

Client (128350)

Multi-thread HTTP requests to improve responsiveness and prevent congestion that can occur in a single-threaded implementation of HTTP requests.

Client (128924)

RESOLVED ISSUES

Android (115394)

25-12-2023 (v1.8.0)

This section documents new fixes and features for Portal software version 25-12-2023 (v1.8.0), which was released on 25 December, 2023.

The following features are added and issues are resolved in version 25-12-2023 (v1.8.0):

NEW FEATURES

UI

Under Accounts > Manage Accounts, a new toggle button is added so a user can easily enable or disable a organization.

UI (132226)

After the service triggers an "HTTP 401 Unauthorized" response status code for an expired token, it then resends the same invalid JSON and refresh token, which prevents the user from accessing the page.

UI

Network policy is now adjusted to contain a source context instead of a list of contexts; and a single rule instead of a list of rules.

UI

Added a new 'Set it Later' button to the Default Network IP Range screen during customer on-boarding in case the customer is not certain what IP range they want to configure.

UI

Validation API added for when a user configures a Client Connector and throws an error if one or more Target Domains are invalid along with specifying which ones are invalid.

UI (133080)

Under Accounts > Manage Accounts, the word 'Active' is removed from the Total Accounts widget because Total Accounts shows the sum of all Organizations regardless of their status, and is not limited to just active ones.

UI (133580)

Users no longer able to jump into a disabled organization.

UI

User is no longer required to have a unique organization domain.

UI

RESOLVED ISSUES

Portal (110958)

The service now only accepts the first click on the 'Create' button for Create Server, Client Connector, and Network and ignores additional clicks.

Portal (132830)

If a user attempts to login into a disabled organization, the notification is vague and does not clearly state the reason their login fails.

Portal (132829)

Under the Accounts tab, a user can create a sub-organization under a disabled parent-organization.

Portal (109861)

Portal (131006)

Host name validation could use an IP address for validation, but could not use a wildcard domain host name validation. The fix prevents the use of an IPv4 address and adds validation for domain names and wildcard domain names (for example, * or *.domain).

Portal (132603)

The Events page does not properly handle extended device names resulting in display issues. In addition, the device name is listed by its FQDN instead of by the email address of the user. With this release, the device FQDN is built by the email address for user devices and by device name for servers and client connectors.
