As part of our on-going product enhancement program, Schneider Electric, Telemetry and Remote SCADA Solutions Activity has announced the release of SCADA Expert ClearSCADA 2014 R1.1, a service pack for SCADA Expert ClearSCADA 2014 R1 providing feature enhancements and improvements to existing functionality. It is recommended that all users of SCADA Expert ClearSCADA 2014 R1 install this build.

Product Changes

This release of SCADA Expert ClearSCADA contains a number of product enhancements, including:

• The maximum string length for "Alarm Acknowledge with Comment" arguments has been expanded from 256 to 4096 characters.

• Alarm Banner now allows dragging to adjust size after it has been collapsed.

• Added the ability for ViewX users to disable Client Side Automation.

• Expanded list of object References to include Data References.

• Implemented forced log-off of active users when their User Account is disabled.

Updated Signing Algorithm for Self-Signed Certificates

Self-signed certificates generated by ClearSCADA have been updated to use SHA1 signing algorithm instead of MD5, and key generation now defaults to 2048 bits.
Existing ClearSCADA customers using self-signed certificates are recommended to generate a new certificate after installing this Service Pack to utilize the updated signing algorithm. Schneider Electric recommends that all customers should obtain a signed web certificate from a certified authority before deploying ClearSCADA Web Server in a production environment.

Diagnostics Information Removed from WebX

ClearSCADA Server diagnostics information has been removed from the WebX interface to increase overall system security. This server diagnostics information is still available via the ClearSCADA Server Status utility and is exposed by the ClearSCADA OPC-DA Server for external password-controlled access.
