Resolved Issues
| Reference | Issue Description |
|---|---|
| MCP-10585 | Skyhigh Client now correctly opens only a single window for Private Access SAML authentication (instead of multiple earlier), providing a smoother login experience. |
| MCP-10577 | To ensure user identity is reliably preserved, Skyhigh Client has been updated to automatically append the logged-in username to all TCP Private Access traffic forwarded to the SWG. |
| MCP-12435 | Updated the Skyhigh Client configuration to increase the connection timeout from 2 minutes to 15 minutes across all connections. This prevents premature disconnects and improves stability for Private Access SSH protocol sessions. |
| MCP-10578 | Addressed an issue where the Skyhigh Client incorrectly intercepted DNS SRV record queries for Private Access applications. These queries will now bypass the Skyhigh Client and route directly to the system DNS for proper resolution. |
| UFW-1285 | Improved WireGuard tunnel connection stability by optimizing background network checks for faster drop detection, ensuring zero data packet loss during handshakes, and extending the timeout window for seamless reconnections. |
