Security Updates

• SAM port used for Agents' connection now enforces HSTS SAMC-1298. Related to Support Case SSUP-959 / SSD-1519HSTS
• 3rd party libraries upgraded: 
  • OpenSSL upgraded to version 3.1.5 SA-43295

New Features and Enhancements

• Agents Policies Management (Agents > Agent Management > Agent Policies page):
  • Added new Unmanaged Agents group that will contain Agents whose configuration should not be managed by SAM. At this stage agents are assigned to this group automatically, but user can remove them as needed. SAMC-1324, SAMC-1333 
  • A new checkbox Manage Master Agent was added in the Create and Update Group dialogs. SAMC-1324, SAMC-1340, SAMC-1348
    This will allow user to explicitly determine whether the configuration of Snare Agent from which the master configuration is derived should be managed by SAM. 
    Note:
    • if Manage Master Agent is unselected (default for new groups), the Agent will be added to Unmanaged Agents group, and its configuration will not be managed by SAM. 
      This will allow easy local updates on Master Agent, which is useful as not all settings are editable in SAM yet. 
    • if Manage Master Agent is selected (use with caution!), the Master Agent will be removed from Unmanaged Agents group.
      From the next time the Master Agent connects to SAM, its configuration will become remotely managed by SAM exclusively, meaning it will not be editable via Agent UI or local config anymore, even if the checkbox is unchecked in the future.
  • Added ability to delete an Agent from a group. SAMC-1306  SAMC-1307 SAMC-1332
    This may be useful for removal of disconnected agents. If the Agent connects again, it will be treated as a new Agent, and will be assigned to the first matching group again. 
    This can also be useful for removing agents from Unmanaged Agents group if needed.
  • Unsupported Agents group will now list Snare Agents in version range from 5.0.0 to 5.7.1, if such agents recently connected to SAM or were discovered via a network scan.
    This will serve as a reminder to upgrade these agents to be able to manage their configuration from SAM. SAMC-1309, SAMC-1253, SAMC-1345
  • Improved validation of master configuration uploaded from JSON file . SAMC-1247
  • Improved on-screen message if Agents Policies Management is unlicensed SAMC-1162unlicensed
    
    
• Audit logs will now be generated for SAM service start/stop operations.  SAMC-1265 
  On Linux (in Snare Central) admin activity events will be written into SAM log file
  On Windows, the following custom EventIDs will be added to the Event Log, under Windows Logs →  Application:
  
  • 2565 - Service started
  • 2566 - Service stopped
  • 2567 - Service paused
  • 2568 - Service continued
  • 2569 - Service shutdown
    
• Agents > Unlicensed page will only list agents with unlicensed core feature, regardless of whether optional features are licensed. In previous versions Unlicensed page listed Agents that had at least 1 unlicensed feature, even if it is optional and not in use. SAMC-1125, SAMC-1299
• The colour of the Agent's license icon is red if and only if the core feature is not licensed. If the core feature is licensed the license icon is green.  SAMC-1300
• Added menu tooltips with item description displayed on hover . SAMC-1294
  
• Code quality and performance enhancements SAMC-933, SAMC-1266, SAMC-1283enhancements
