Introduction
This document lists the new features, fixed issues, and known issues for this version of AD Lab. All known
issues published under previous release notes still apply until they are listed under “Fixed Issues.”

Supported Platforms
For a list of supported platforms for AD Lab see the following:
http://accessdata.com/solutions/digital-forensics/forensic-toolkit-ftk/technical

New and Improved in 6.1
The following items are new and improved for this release:

Permissions/Groups/LDAP
User

groups have been added to FTK Lab. (27210)

FTK

Lab now also supports user management of logins and permissions via LDAP and Active Directory
(AD). FTK Administrators can assign users to Lab by simply adding an LDAP/AD group. LDAP/AD users
cannot log into Lab until a group in which they have membership has either a global or case role.

Any

group (LDAP or FTK admin-created) assigned to a case will give all members of that group access to
the case. Users inherit any roles (and their associated permissions) assigned to any and all groups they
are assigned to globally (in the Administer Groups dialog), regardless of which group is assigned to the
case.
To

manage a user’s permissions for all cases to which they are assigned, add roles to the group(s)
they belong to in the Administer Groups dialog.

To

manage a user’s permissions on a case-by-case basis, add roles to the group(s) they belong to
when assigning a group a case. (In this case, it is advisable to not assign global roles to any group,
except maybe a group intended for application administrators.)

Fixed

the issue where the AppAdmin was unable to add items to another user’s bookmark. (36912)

Filters
If

you use two separate include filters and one is from the File Content tab and the other is from the Meta
Info or MD5 tab, the non-File Content tab is now included. (41653)

Note: This issue did not occur if both properties were contained within a single filter.

merge has been improved and received a status bar. (39479)

There

Installation and upgrade
If

you use FTK, Lab, or Enterprise together with Summation or eDiscovery, DO NOT upgrade FTK to
version 6.1 until you can upgrade the other products to version 6.1.

AD

Lab supports Distributed Processing Engines (DPEs).

Upgrading CodeMeter
AD

Lab 5.6.1 and later include an updated version of CodeMeter Runtime Kit (5.21).

If

CodeMeter is installed.

Important Information

If

you are upgrading to AD Lab 5.6.1, be aware that a security vulnerability has been detected in
Codemeter 4.5. However, if you simply upgrade from CodeMeter 4.5 to 5.21, the vulnerability
remains. To fix the vulnerability, you must manually uninstall 4.5 before installing 5.21.
If you are upgrading to AD Lab 5.6.1, manually uninstall CodeMeter first and then install AD Lab 5.6.1
which will install a clean CodeMeter 5.21. Otherwise, after upgrading to AD Lab 5.6.1, manually
uninstall CodeMeter 4.5 and then manually install CodeMeter 5.21.

Running PostgreSQL on a Virtual Machine
If

you run PostgreSQL on a virtual machine with a dynamically allocated virtual hard drive, you must
manually stop the PostgreSQL service before rebooting the virtual machine. Otherwise, PostgreSQL will
become corrupted.
If you run PostgreSQL on a virtual machine with a fixed size virtual hard drive, then PostgreSQL will not
become corrupted when rebooting.

Recommendations
Cerberus

writes binaries to the AD Temp folder momentarily in order to perform the malware analysis.
Upon completion, it will quickly delete the binary. It is important to ensure that your antivirus is not
scanning the AD Temp folder. If the antivirus deletes/quarantines the binary from the temp, Cerberus
analysis will not be performed.

If

you choose to have a case’s database files placed in the case folder, do not move your case folder
without first archiving and detaching the case.

Known Issues
Filters

created within a case are automatically global, but unable to be used in other cases. (42681/
41698)
WORKAROUND: Close the case and close FTK. When you open FTK and a new case the filter will no
longer be available.

New AD1 files and Imager 3.4.x
Any AD1 file created by FTK or Summation 6.0 or later can only be opened with Imager 3.4.0 or later.
Imager 3.4 can be freely download from the AD website:
http://accessdata.com/product-download
Using an older version of Imager will result in an “Image detection failed” error.
This happens because the AD1 format was enhanced to support forward compatibility between AccessData
products. Newer AD1s have a version 4 in the header instead of 3. A hex editor can be used to quickly
determine if your AD1 is v3 or v4.
