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  for known issues from prior releases that are still applicable, apart from those appearing above as Fixed.
