What's New for 2.5.2
Makito X Decoder Version 2.5.2 introduces the following features and enhancements to existing capabilities:
- FIPS 140-2 Support – Implementation of FIPS 140-2 security improvements.
- Configurable Minimum Password Lifetime – A new option is available to restrict the user's ability to change their password. Enforcing a minimum password lifetime helps prevent repeated password changes to defeat the password reuse or history enforcement requirement. The range is from 0 (no restriction) to 7 days. The default is 0.
See Managing Security Policies and policy.
- Added Trusted Root CA Bundle – In order to properly support future interactions with Haivision Hub over HTTPS, the Makito X firmware now includes a list of trusted root certificate authorities (
ca-certificates.crt
installed under/etc/ssl/certs/
). This list may be used to validate certificates returned by remote servers.
Note
A problem has been identified with some self-generated SSH server RSA keys of earlier firmware versions. After an upgrade, if such a key is detected at startup time, it will be deleted and replaced by a new RSA key. SSH clients that have cached the old RSA key will issue a warning to the user while establishing a new SSH session with the Makito X after upgrade.
