MD5 was a hashing algorithm used to sign VPN Certificates.
As of the Leeds-5 update, you can’t create new VPN Certificates using MD5. Smoothwall does not support using MD5 VPN Certificates, which means:
- We no longer provide documentation, training or support with setting up or managing MD5 VPN Certificates.
- We can’t guarantee any MD5 VPN Certificates you are currently using will continue to work, and we will not fix any issues you may encounter.
You can temporarily continue using any existing MD5 VPN Certificates. However, you must replace your certificates to be able to move to Maiden.
