Illumio Core What's New and Release Notes 23.2

What's New and Changed in Release 23.2.22

The following new features were added in Illumio Core 23.2.22.

Illumio Core 23.2.22-VEN Maintenance Release

Illumio Core 23.2.22 includes an updated version of the VEN software.

Illumio provides regular maintenance updates for reported bugs and security issues, and to add support for new operating system versions. As a maintenance release, Illumio Core 23.2.22 solved software and security issues for the VEN to refine the software and improve its reliability and performance.

Changes in the Release 23.2.22

Support for Endpoint VENs on macOS Sonoma, 14.0, 14.1, and 14.2

Beginning with VEN release 23.2.22, Endpoint VENs are now supported for use on macOS Sonoma, versions 14.0, 14.1, and 14.2.

Support for CRI-O API on C-VENs

In addition to existing support for v1alpha2, C-VENs now support CRI-O API version v1.

AIX VEN Installation with Pairing Script

When installing a new AIX VEN, you can now use a pairing script and the VEN Library in the PCE. Previously, AIX VENs could be installed only from the command line using the CLI.

Because the curl utility is not available by default on AIX platforms, you must first install curl from the AIX Toolbox for Open Source Software in order to use this feature. Download the AIX Toolbox at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/883796. It may be necessary to set the environment variable CURL_CA_BUNDLE=/var/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt.

AIX VEN Upgrade from PCE

When upgrading AIX VENs, you can now upgrade one or more VENs by using the PCE web console and the VEN library.

VEN Tampering Protection Support Extended to macOS Endpoints

The VEN tampering production feature has been extended in this release to include protection for macOS endpoints.

VEN Proxy Support Extended to macOS Endpoints

In this release, VEN proxy support is extended to macOS Endpoints.

VEN Support for Red Hat 5

In Core 23.2, Illumio provides support to run the VEN on the Red Hat 5 OS. This support is only for VENs at release 23.2 or later.

Enhancements for VEN Type During Activation

In this release, Illumio has enhanced the VEN so that the VEN displays activation failure reasons in VEN CLI.

In previous releases, the VEN CLI did not display errors in the following situations:

  • When you specified the Endpoint mode via the --endpoint true option to pair a VEN while using a pairing profile for a server

  • When you used a server pairing profile to install the VEN on a macOS endpoint

  • When you used an endpoint pairing profile to install the VEN on a Linux server
