FortiOS 5.4.6 is out!

Anybody else running into GUI issues with 5.4.6?

The most annoying two I'm hitting are:

[ol]

Security Policy page in Interface Pair View always expands all SrcIntf -> DstIntf groups, regardless of whether I've collapsed them in the past.  It used to save their collapsed/expanded state.  So now every time I go to that page the section I want to work on is scrolled off the bottom.

Pages aren't fully loaded till you scroll down.  So on that Security Policy page, or the Services page, or many other similar ones, it only loads the visible section of the page, nothing below it.  Unfortunately, this means that I can't just do a quick Ctrl+F to find the item I want, because the find will fail since the rest of the page hasn't been loaded![/ol]

This is with Chrome on Windows 10, though I see the same behavior in MS Edge browser.

I've tried flushing the browser cache, etc. without any change to the behavior.

Anybody else seeing this?  Any thoughts on workarounds, or do I just report it as a bug?

You can find it directly on Fortinet support site.

5.4.6 should be the 5.4 last minor release.

It has been published in order to resolve particular issues, such as npu fragmentation when using capwap encapsulated in ipsec tunnel, for example (problem the I've found in a particular installation and for which Fortinet give me a specific patched 5.4.5 release, not published, patch next integrated into 5.4.6 release).

So I suppose that this is why from 5.4.5 Fortinet indicates as direct upgrade , 5.6.2 release

Still SSL VPN throughput not fixed ...(thet are working on an backport from 5.6.x)

i just updated a device. There's some subtle UI changes in the way some tables are rendered.

They did successfully fix a pet peeve of mine that i opened a case on- address objects with a space in their name now correctly display their references.

Looks like they got (more of) the npu over ipsec issues worked out:

416102 Traffic over IPsec VPN getting dropped after 2 pings when it is getting offloaded to NPU.

416950 NP6 stop process traffic through IPsec tunnel.

Still a lot of known GUI bugs - over 1.5 pages.

Hi guys,

I needed to upgrade to 5.4.6 because my customer needs the DNS Filter to work correctly, but now there is another really annoying bug...

364280 User cannot use ssh-dss algorithm to log in to FortiGate via SSH.

...so now I cannot login through SSH.

Has anybody found a solution?

I use Secure CRT, but it does not work with Putty neither.

Regards,

Paco.

Are you calling your DSA key when you access?

e.g ( unix openssh client )

ssh -vi /Users/kfelix/.ssh/id_dsa  1.0.0.1

Do you have an option to use the typical default rsa key?

[ede_pfau]

I found the only way to tackle this is to use an RSA key and deploy that to the client(s).

Any other experiences with 5.4.6?

Especially, anyone using 5.4.6 FortiGates proxy-based with IPsec VPN, web filtering, and/or deep ssl inspection?

Thanks.
