Version 3.6.1 will install a new default security/SSL
certificate. Some browsers, including Netscape and Mozilla,
will not recognize the new certificate if the original has
never been replaced. If you are unable to log on to the
firewall after upgrading, delete the browser's cached security
certificate, then close and restart your browser before
reattempting remote access to your firewall.
1.3 Email Proxy Configuration Conversion
3.6.1 upgrade software converts pre-3.6.1 configuration data
(where possible) and disables the email proxy until converted
data is verified and re-applied using the new email proxy ACL
features. Customers using the Mail Sentinel email proxy should
configure and verify the email proxy using the converted data
before re-enabling the email proxy service.
