Watch Items and Issues

These are known operational limitations that exist for Gateway.

• When using the default RHEL/CentOS configuration of IPTABLES, traffic to the Gateway will be blocked unless action is taken to disable IPTABLES or to enable inbound traffic to the front-end protocol port(s).

• Gateway is not compatible with Linux PAM modules that depend upon interactive validation operations such as OTP or biometric scanners.

See Content Gateway 6 Release Notes for known issues from prior releases that are still applicable, apart from those appearing above as Fixed.
