STRM Overview Juniper Networks STRM is a network security management platform that provides

situational awareness and compliance support to organizations that need to

tighten security and improve policy monitoring with a modest investment in time

and resources. STRM goes beyond traditional security information/event

management (SIEM) products and network behavior analysis (NBA) products to

create a command-and-control center that delivers:

•Threat Management: STRM detects threats that would otherwise be

missed by product or operational silos.

•Log Management: STRM responds to the right threats at the right time

through effective analysis of log files.

•Compliance: STRM implements a compliance and reporting safety net with

comprehensive event storage and reporting.

New and Updated

Functionality STRM 2008.2 provides you with the following new and updated functionality:

•Activation and License Key Enhancement - STRM 2008.2 includes several

enhancements to activation and license keys including:

-Activation Keys - During installation of STRM, you must now enter an

activation key to complete the installation. This activation key is available on

530-025618-01

2STRM Release Notes

the license CD. See the instructions that came with the license CD to install

the activation key.

-License Keys - The License key functionality is now enhanced in the STRM

interface to include individual license keys for each system in your

deployment.

•New Device Extensions Functionality - You can now modify how a DSM

parses logs. For example, you can use a device extension to detect an event

that has missing or incorrect fields. A device extension can also parse an event

when the DSM to which it is attached fails to produce a result.

•Universal DSM Enhancement - With STRM 2008.2, the Universal DSM

includes the following enhancements:

-Device Extensions - Allows you to use the new device extensions

functionality to enhance the DSM parsing of your logs.

-Multiple Universal DSMs - Allows you to support multiple Universal DSMs.

-Integration with Asset Profiles - Using STRM 2008.2, the Universal DSM

is associated with an asset profile allowing you to track user identity data

and associate that information to an asset profile.

•User Roles Enhancement - Administrative users can now be assigned

additional controls including:

-View Administrator - Allows Administrative users to modify STRM Views.

-Administrator Management - Allows Administrative users to create and

edit other administrative accounts.

-System Administrator - Allows Administrative users to access all areas of

STRM except Views. Also, users with this access are not able to edit other

administrator accounts.

•User Account Enhancement - You can now disable a user account without

deleting the account. A user with a disabled account is no longer able to access

the STRM interface.

Resolved Issues 5

During Installation Process, Error No Longer Occurs When Root Password is

Not Changed

During the installation process, a message appears indicating that you are able to

use the default root password. However, if you attempted to use the default

password, a message appeared indicating that you must enter a new password.

This no longer occurs.

Hostname that Includes Underscores and Special Characters No Longer

Causes Error

Previously, if the hostname of your STRM system included underscores and/or

special characters (except dashes), the Host Context component failed to start.

Once this occurred, STRM failed to collect data. This no longer occurs.

Now Able to Deploy License Key Once Current Key Expires

Previously, if your license key expired and you uploaded a new license key, STRM

did not provide the option to deploy the new license key.

Changing the Authentication to STRM Authentication No Longer Requires

Edits to Passwords

Previously, if you changed your authentication from TACACS, RADIUS, or LDAP/

Active Directory to STRM Authentication, you were required configure access for

users on the system before they are able to login to STRM. No message appeared

in STRM stating this requirements. In STRM 2008.2, you must define passwords

for all users that do not have a password defined.

Updating License Key When Using Internet Explorer 6 No Longer Causes

Error

Previously, when you updated your license key using an Internet Explorer 6

browser, a window appeared stating “The page cannot be displayed” when you

click Save. This no longer occurs.

New Administrative User Now Able to Access Deployment Editor

An STRM administrative (admin) user can create multiple admin accounts for a

STRM system. A administrative user should have unrestricted access to all

components of your deployment. Previously, when a new administrative user

attempted to access the deployment editor, an error message appeared and

access was denied.

Deleting a False Positive Building Block Value No Longer Causes Error

Previously, if you attempted to edit the User-BB-FalsePositive: User Defined False

Positive Tunings Building Block to edit any of the configured values within the

Building Block, the following error message appeared Invalid category id.

This no longer occurs.

6STRM Release Notes

Searching For Source or Destination IP Addresses Using CIDR Value No

Longer Causes Error

Previously, if you used a CIDR value when searching for source or destination IP

addresses in the Flow Viewer, the search did not return valid data and an error

message appeared in the log files. This no longer occurs.

Searching Using Aggregate By Destination Port/Protocol with Network View

Format Option Selected Now Filters on Network

Previously, when you searched for flows using the Aggregate by Destination Port

or Destination Protocol option in the Search Parameters fields and selected the

Network option in the View Format field, the search results did not filter based on

network. This no longer occurs.

Multiple Reports No Longer Generate From Single Template When Reports

are Shared

When you created a new report using the Report Wizard, you can generate the

report by selecting the Would you like to run the report now? check box in the

report wizard or request the completed report template to generate using the

Reports Template interface. Previously, if the report was shared with other users,

both options may have resulted in the generation of multiple reports appearing in

the Generated Reports interface with Admin as the listed owner. This no longer

occurs.

Now Able to Add 200 CIDRS for a Network Object

Previously, the limit of CIDR range(s) you could add to the network object was 70.

If you attempted to add more than 70 CIDR range(s), an error appeared. In STRM

2008.2, the limit of CIDR ranges you can add is approximately 200, depending on

the data on your system.

Now Able to Apply Any IP Filter When Searching for Flows and Events

Previously, when you attempted to filter in the Flow Viewer or Event Viewer using

the Any IP filter option, invalid results appears. Now, in STRM 2008.2, this no

longer occurs and valid search results appear.

Now Able to Filter on Device Type Using Right-Click Option in Aggregate

Display

Using the Display drop-down list box in the Event Viewer, you are able to view

events using one of the available aggregate options. Previously, if you selected the

Device Type option in the Display drop-down list box, you were not able to access

the Filter menu using the right mouse button (right-click) for the Device Type

column. This no longer occurs and the Filter menu is available.

Now Able to Use Exclamation Point (!) In LDAP Authentication Passwords

Previously, when defining a password for your LDAP authentication, if you entered

an exclamation point (!) as part of your password, the password was rejected.

Exclamation points (!) are now supported.

530-025618-01

Resolved Issues 7

Accessing Right-Click Menu In Offense Manager No Longer Results in Error

Previously, when using the right mouse button (right-click) on an IP address in the

Offense Manager, an error message may have appeared. This no longer occurs.

Trusted SSL Key Now Enforced Through Deployment During Upgrade

When upgrading from STRM 2008.1 to STRM 2008.1r2, the trusted SSL key may

not have been properly enforced through your deployment. This caused an error

indicating that the SSL key was not able to be validated. This no longer occurs

when you upgrade from STRM 2008.1 to STRM 2008.2.

Now Able to Use Same IP Address for Off-Site Source and Target

Previously, when configuring off-site source and target in the deployment editor, an

error appeared if you attempted to use the same IP address for the source and

target. This no longer occurs.

Restoring Configuration Now Create Proper Directory Structure

Previously, when restoring configuration information on a new Console system, the

/store/db directory was not properly created. In STRM 2008.2, this directory

structure is properly created.

Unioned Flow Details Now Retrieving Correct Flow Information

Using the Display drop-down list box in the Flow Viewer, you are able to view flows

using one of the available aggregate options. Previously, when the Flow Viewer

encountered several flows that occurred in the same collection interval, which also

had the same source and destination information, the incorrect flow details may

have been returned when you double-clicked the flow. This no longer occurs.

Events Appear in Event Viewer and Flows in Flow Viewer After June 30, 2008

The Event Correlation Engine license expires on 30 June 2008. This license is

needed for the events and flows to be processed. STRM version 2008.2 extends

the Event Correlation Engine license until December 2009. In the future, there will

be a software upgrade that will eliminate the requirement for this license.

8STRM Release Notes

Known Issues and

Limitations This section describes the known issues and limitations for the following areas:

•General

•System Configuration

•Deployment Editor

•Network Surveillance

•Offense Manager

•Event Viewer

•Flow Viewer

•Reports

General Objects Menu Tree May Not Appear in Equation Editor After Adding a New

Custom View

If you create a new Custom View and then open the Equation Editor, the menu tree

displaying network objects may not appear the first time you attempt to access the

menu tree. However, if you choose a new object using the drop-down list box, the

menu tree appears.

Workaround: Close the Equation Editor window and re-open.

Configuring an Asset Profile View of 0 Causes Errors

In the STRM System Settings, you can configure the Asset Profile View parameter

to specify the views you wish the system to use when accumulating asset profile

data. By default, the list includes the following views: 1, 2, 15, and 16. If you set a

view to 0, an error appears in the log files. Also, if you upgrade to STRM 2008.2,

any Asset Profile View set to 0 is automatically changed to a value of 16.

Workaround: None.

During a Restart, an Error May Appear Regarding the Tomcat Server

Any changes to STRM using the web-based system administration interface

requires the Tomcat server to restart. This server may take 1 to 2 minutes to

restart. If, during this time, you access the STRM interface, a fatal error message

appears. Do not attempt to restart the Tomcat server manually. Once the server

restarts, STRM will continue to function as expected.

Workaround: Wait several minutes for the server to restart, then access the STRM

interface.

Upgrade May Fail with Custom SSL Certificate

The upgrade of STRM may fail if your deployment meets both of the following

conditions:

•You use a custom SSL (trusted) certificate, rather than the default certificate

shipped with STRM, somewhere in your deployment.

•The custom certificate has an Intermediate key.

530-025618-01

Known Issues and Limitations 9

Not all trusted certificates have an Intermediate key. Verisign certificates are one

example that uses an Intermediate key. The overall impact of this problem

depends on your particular deployment. The upgrade may fail because the

configuration file is missing a line that provides the directory path to your custom

certificate key on the server.

Workaround: Follow these steps to update the configuration file and restart

services:

Step 1 Open the configuration file on the machine that uses the custom SSL key (normally

the Web Server console.

Step 1 Add the directory path to your custom SSL key.

Step 2 Restart the hostcontext service using the following command:

service hostcontext restart

Infranet Controller Device Appears as Enterasys Device

An auto-discovered Infranet Controller (IC) device may appear incorrectly as an

Enterasys device.

Workaround: Add the Infranet Controller device manually.

Infranet Controller Device Appears as Secure Access Device

An auto-discovered Infranet Controller (IC) device may appear incorrectly as a

Secure Access (SA) device.

Workaround: Add the Infranet Controller device manually.

Exporting Information Using CSV/XML Export may be Blocked Using Internet

Explorer 7

If you wish to download information (such as events, assets, or flows), using the

STRM Export function, you can select the Notify When Done option that enables

the browser to notify you when the download is complete. However, if you are

using Internet Explorer 7, a warning appears requiring you to select an option

menu to download the file. When you select the option menu, the browser

refreshes to the STRM Dashboard and the exported file is not downloaded.

Workaround: In Internet Explorer 7, change the Security Settings > Downloads >

Automatic Prompting for file downloads option to Enable.

Continuous Use of STRM Over Extended Period of Time May Cause Interface

Failure

If you continue to use a session of the STRM interface for an extended period of

time, a failure may occur in your browser requiring you to restart your system. This

failure is a result of a memory loss due to a limitation in the web browser

architecture.

Workaround: Restart your browser if your browser performance degrades.

10 STRM Release Notes

System

Configuration Restoring Configuration Information for Deployment with Encrypted

Systems Fails

If you attempt to restore configuration information in a deployment that includes

encrypted systems and then deploy all changes, the restore process fails for the

encrypted systems.

Workaround: Follow the Restoring Your Configuration procedure outlined in the

STRM Administration Guide, however, before you deploy all changes, wait for the

STRM interface to become active. Once the interface is active, follow this

procedure:

Step 1 Log in to STRM, as root.

Step 2 Enter the following command and any non-Console passwords, as prompted:

/opt/STRM/bin/push_ssh_auth_keys.sh

Step 3 On the Console, enter the following command:

ssh <IP address/hostname of the non-Console>

Step 4 On the non-Console, enter the following command:

ssh <IP address/hostname of the Console>

Step 5 For all systems in your deployment, use SSH to connect from the Console to

non-Console systems and enter the following command:

service hostcontext restart

Performing an Automatic Update Does Not Deploy All Changes

When you update your system using the Auto-Update Configuration window in the

STRM Administration Console, the changes are not enforced throughout your

deployment. This results in updated contents do not appearing in the deployment.

Workaround: From the Administration Console Menu, select Configurations >

Deploy All to enforce the changes.

Unable to Disable an Endace DAG Interface Card Using the Web-Based

System Administration Interface

If you use the Network Interfaces window of the Web-based System Administration

interface to disable an Endace DAG Interface card, a message appears indicating

that the card was successfully disabled. However, the QFlow Collector continues

to receive flows from the disabled Endace DAG Interface card and if you return to

the Network Interface window, the card is set to Monitor.

Workaround: None

Deployment Editor Able to Configure Scanner Assignments for Last Entered IP Address

When configuring scanner assignments, you are able to enter multiple IP

addresses; however, scanner assignment configurations are applied only to the IP

address that was entered last.

Workaround: Create scanner assignments for one CIDR address at a time.
