HAN.V5

Current HAN 5 Kernel

Changes in the recent HAN Kernel

HAN Kernel 5.2.1.1768::

• Cookie handling for an e-script can be configured to ignore all local cookies from a user's browser.
• Fix for the cookieconsent windows of Cookielaw.org (e.g. at Thieme or Springer). Confirming the cookie request had no effect, each time a new page was called the request was repeated.
• The HAN kernel can also make substitutions in Base64 encoded HTML parameters or cookies.
• The HAN kernel can be instructed to check whether a current session already exists for the user when an e-script is called. If this is the case, the HAN server links into the existing session and does not re-execute a login script.
• The HAN kernel fixes an error that occurred when using a primary HAN server: the primary HAN server was not recognised correctly.
• HAN no longer sends the X-Forwarded-For header to providers if it was sent by clients. Internal IP information can be communicated externally via this header.

ATTENTION:

The HAN 5.2 kernel can only be used in a HAN 5.2 installation and is not compatible with HAN 5.1!

HAN Kernel 5.1: Please contact the HAN support if necessary.
