-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Product: Ingate Firewall Versions: 4.1.3 and earlier Tracking ID: 1826 Summary ======= Active PPTP tunnels in Ingate Firewall are not deactivated when a PPTP user is disabled. If a user has an active PPTP connection to an Ingate Firewall, and that user is disabled on the Firewall, the active PPTP connection is not disconnected, but lives on unharmed. Only when the user disconnects does the block take effect; the next time he tries to connect, he is not allowed to set up a connection. Impact ====== If a user is being disabled by the firewall administrator while he has an active tunnel, that tunnel can live on. He can thus have access to the resources protected by the firewall for a long time after he was disabled. Workaround ========== When you disable a PPTP user, also turn off the PPTP server and apply the configuration. This will tear down all PPTP connections. Then enable the PPTP server and apply the configuration again. Solution ======== Ingate will provide a fix for this problem in a future upgrade. No release date has been set yet.
