It interactively shows if the current selection of features fits onto the device. The selection of features is saved on the OSC installer medium (when allowed) and set as the default selection for the next installation. If "Migrate Old Settings" is selected, the set of features of the old installation is set as the default selection.

RDP/IGEL RDP Client 2
Added the possibility to add a black background to the RDP auto-reconnect window.
Added configuration option for the amount of RDP auto-reconnect retries. The default value will remain "20". A value of "0" means infinite retries.
VMware Horizon

For usage with Blast protocol, it is recommended to enable DRI3 graphics mode:- Fixed handling of RDP's fullscreen mode span, which means to combine all local monitors for one big remote session.
PowerTerm
- Updated Ericom PowerTerm LTC to version 14.0.0.45623.
Parallels Client
- Updated Parallels Client to version 17.1.1.

NX client
- Updated NoMachine NX Client to version 6.11.2.
ThinLinc
- Updated ThinLinc to version 4.12.
Network
- DHCP changes:
The system now sends a vendor-class-identifier(option 60) "igel-dhcp-1". Furthermore, it requests vendor-encapsulated-options (43). Those can be used to transfer IGEL-specific options igelrmserver(224) and umsstructuretag(226) in the vendor namespace (with the same option numbers and types) instead of in the global namespace.
The former way is also still functional, but values transferred in the new way override those which were transferred the old way.
Apart from 224 and 226 one more option is defined in the vendor space: "exclusive", option 1, type byte. Its presence means that global options 224 and 226 shall not be interpreted in the traditional way and only settings in the vendor space apply.
IPv6 is not involved. - Added support for LTE module HP lt4132.
- Updated Network Manager to version 1.20.4.

Wi-Fi
- Added support for WPA3 Personal network authentication.
Added a registry key for preferring WPA3 Personal (i.e. SAE) or WPA2 Personal at the time a connection is created with Wireless Manager when the access point offers both:
Added captive portal support for Wi-Fi. Passing through a captive portal (which is basically a web application) is sometimes necessary to achieve full network connectivity (here also referred to as online state).
The feature is disabled when the following registry key is empty. Otherwise, it should be a URI that is suitable for NetworkManager connectivity check.
The following key specifies the conditions of the online check. It is also required that no Ethernet cable is plugged in and DHCP is not set in the UMS.
This key determines how many seconds to wait for full network connectivity before the network connection is considered complete with incomplete connectivity. The timeout should allow a user to do what is necessary for passing through the captive portal.
- Enabled use of 802.11r, also known as fast BSS transition or FT. This is confirmed to work at least in the mode "over the air".

/etc/pam_pkcs11/cacerts
- file
/etc/pam_pkcs11/cn_map
which contains mappings of Common Names to UPN names.
Each line is in the format\<common name> -> \<logon name>
where\<common name>
is the common name part of the subject of the certificate\<logon name>
is
- in case of Kerberos Enterprise (auth.login.krb5_enterprise
) disabled: the UPN name of the SubjectAltName extension of the certificate, e.g. user@MY.DOMAIN
- in case of Kerberos Enterprise (auth.login.krb5_enterprise
) enabled: the UPN name of the SubjectAltName extension of the certificate with Default Domain (auth.krb5.libdefaults.default_realm
) suffix, e.g. user@DOMAIN.SUFFIX@DEFAULT.DOMAIN
- root and intermediate CA certificates for verification of the client certificates in folder
The logon method can either be used standalone or together with Kerberos logon as a fallback if Kerberos does not succeed.
