Release Notes 2.2.2
Release Date: October 18 , 2019
IMPORTANT: Customers using LDAP on Conductor 2.2.1
If you are using LDAP and running Conductor version 2.2.1, you must upgrade your Conductor to 2.2.2, to resolve an issue that could prevent you from logging in to the Conductor.
IMPORTANT: Migrating existing Deployments to 2.2.2
- If your Conductor is running a version earlier than 2.1.6, upgrade it to 2.1.6 or 2.1.7
- If any HIP Services are running a version earlier than 2.1.6, upgrade them to 2.1.6 or 2.1.7
- Verify that your Conductor and all HIP Services you updated in steps 1 and 2 are running 2.1.6 or later
- Upgrade your Conductor to 2.2.2
- Upgrade your HIP Services to 2.2.2
For more information on upgrading your Conductor to 2.1.6 from prior versions, log in to your account and select the Documentation Center link at the top-right of the page. You should review both the Release Notes 2.1.6 and Conductor and HIP Service Upgrades pages.
What’s New
- Cloud Marketplace
- You can now purchase a Tempered Networks cloud-based Conductor or HIPswitch directly from the Azure or Google marketplace. This greatly simplifies the purchase and deployment of Conductors and HIPswitches in your own cloud account and the setup of an independent license-ready environment.
- User-Configurable LSI Prefix
- You can now change the LSI prefix from 1 to another digit usage the Conductor's Advanced Global HIPservice Settings. This is useful if you have underlay network traffic that uses the 1.x.x.x range of addresses, which is routable on the Internet and prevalent in Asia-Pacific regions. You may choose any suitable prefix (routable or non-routable) given the distribution of your HIP Services globally. For details on routable traffic ranges, please see RFC 1918.
- Android and iOS HIPclients Updated for 2.2
- You can now manage Android and iOS HIPclients using the new 2.2 features, such as network objects.
- Custom Overlay Policy with People Groups
- People groups can be used with HIPclient and HIPserver authentication to create custom overlay network policies based on the user authenticating via the HIPclient or HIPserver. Tags specified in the people group will be added to a HIPclient or HIPserver, when a member of the people group authenticates and will be removed automatically once the session ends. The tags can be used in smart device groups to give the HIPclient or HIPserver custom overlay network policies.
- Windows Client Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
- OpenID Connect is now integrated into the Windows HIPclient and HIPserver authentication workflow. If enabled via an OpenID Connect provider, users will be required to use MFA to gain overlay access. Other HIPclient platforms will integrate client MFA for overlay access in future releases.
- HIPclient and HIPserver Authentication Session Timeouts
- Administrators can now configure how long a HIPclient or HIPserver authentication session will last, either globally or specific to a HIPclient or HIPserver.
- Conductor Connection Failsafe
- HIPswitches now have a watchdog monitor for the Conductor connection that will force a re-connect if it determines the current connection is unresponsive or missing. This should allow HIPswitches to reconnect in more cases without requiring human intervention (e.g. manual rebooting or other diagnostic activities that can require physical access to the HIPswitch).
- More Resilient HIP Tunnels
- HIP tunnel processes have been improved so that when a stale tunnel is detected, which may occur after reboots or carrier failures, it is rebuilt.
- More Resilient Cellular Connectivity
- Under certain circumstances (signal strength, cell-tower location, interruptions), Verizon based HIPswitches would experience frequent modem resets resulting in an occasional failure to recover. This release has safeguards to ensure that cellular connectivity is restored after these episodes.

DEV-10764 | HIPswitch, Cellular |
When downgrading the HS-150 from 2.2.0 to 2.1.6, the cellular link LEDs may not be functional. Workaround: In order to restore LED functionality, in Conductor, change the "Underlay network" settings under the "Ports" tab. For example, adjust the priority. (Note that you may need to provide the "Access point name (APN)" since that field may appear blank, in order to successfully apply the settings.) After applying the settings, reboot the HS-150 for the Cellular LEDs to become functional again. |
DEV-10703 | Conductor |
If a HIPswitch is factory reset, its details may not be removed from the Conductor UI. Workaround: none. |
DEV-10618 | Conductor |

The HIPswitch 400 and HIPswitch 500 LCD menus do not support setting Conductor host names longer than 16 characters. Workaround: Configure the corresponding IP address instead. |
DEV-10577 | HIPshell |
Currently, the hipsh console will not timeout and may become locked. Workaround: Reboot or power-cycle the HIPswitch. |
DEV-10492 | HIPrelay |
Once a HIPrelay learns an IPv4 / IPv6 address for a peer, it will continue to use that address indefinitely for forwarding peer packets). If the peer is offline and doesn't update its address with the HIPrelay, the old or invalid address will continue have HIP control packets forwarded to it. Workaround: None |
DEV-10442 | Conductor |
In rare cases, the Apply Firmware Updates dialog will show duplicate entries in the Upgrade Available drop-down. Workaround: None. |
DEV-10404 | OpenHIP |
Retransmitted HIP I1 packets are only sent using one source address/destination pair. This differs from the initial I1 packets which attempt to use all source/destination address combinations.
