1.1 What's New in Release 9.4.3

Corente Cloud Services Exchange Release 9.4.3 provides the following new features and changes:

Enhancement to include Internet Key Exchange (IKE) identifiers for third-party device partner configurations

As of this release, App Net Manager lets you set IKE identifiers in partner configurations for third-party devices that are used during authentication with Corente Services Gateways.

App Net Manager now includes a Partner IKE ID section on the Partners tab of the Location window. This section is available only when you create partner configurations for third-party devices.

Support for IKE and IPSec tunnel lifetime configuration

Corente Cloud Services Exchange now lets you set the amount of time, in seconds, before IKE and IPSec tunnels timeout. If an IKE or IPSec tunnel between a third-party device and Corente Services Gateway reaches the timeout value, the third-party device must re-establish a secure connection with the Corente Services Gateway.

Performance improvements for IPSec packet encryption

As of this release Corente Services Gateways distribute processing for the encryption and decryption of IPSec packets across all available CPUs. This change can improve the performance of Corente Services Gateways by more than twice that of earlier releases. However, these performance improvements depend on your environment and system configuration. For optimal results, Corente Cloud Services Exchange recommends you install Corente Services Gateways on systems with no more than four CPUs. For more information, contact your Oracle Support representative.
