Please fix this ASAP we're getting a ton of calls this morning and it's embarassing to tell people to turn their date back.

Changing the date can cause other non-vpn related issues if you are using Kerberos, or have domain joined Windows machines.

Yeah I've since wrote a custom rule.  I'm really surprised this slipped through the QA process at Juniper.  Astounding.

I just noticed the new ESAP is up...seems to be working OK so far.

Yes, the fix is now available.

I have several questions. Where are the installation instructions? Does this change client software HostChecker and Network Connect? If it does does the user need to have admin privileges? (Installer Service not installed)

We can have up to 4 ESAP plug-ins installed.  Then you simply select the radio button for the one you wish to use.

There is no outage/downtime required (no interruption of service) when upgrading ESAP. 

When new users connect they will download the new host-checker version. 

Existing logged in users are not impacted.

We were previously using an older version of ESAP due to an incompatibility with the latest version. 

Are there going to be any fixes/workarounds for this scenario?
