5.4 Version Information	

Infineon TPM Professional Package V3.0.1


5.5 Trusted Platform Module Firmware Upgrade

After installation, it is recommended to check whether a firmware update is available provided by http://www.infineon.com


5.6 Known Bugs and Limitations

5.6.1 Problems with the Trusted Platform Module:

In case an application using the Trusted Platform Module fails, resetting the Trusted Platform Module may solve the problem.
To reset the Trusted Platform Module, shut down the PC (turn off the computer after the system has shut down) and start the PC again.


5.6.2 Known Online Help Error

After installation of Microsoft security updates, the Security Platform Help may not function correctly when the .chm file is opened from a remote location. Further information is available in the Microsoft Knowledge Base, e.g. in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS05-026 and in Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 896358.


5.6.3 No support for saving Personal Secure Drive content to a CD data disc at Windows XP

On XP Windows, Explorer supports to write data directly to CD data discs with Joliet and ISO-9660 file systems.
During the process of deleting a Personal Secure Drive, it is not supported to select such a CD data disc for saving the content of the Personal Secure Drive. If you want to save the content of a Personal Secure Drive to a CD data disc, use Windows Explorer directly before deleting the Personal Secure Drive.


5.6.4 Personal Secure Drive and Windows XP System Restore 
 
If you enabled System Restore please note that Personal Secure Drive is like any other drive on your computer monitored by System Restore.
To ensure that System Restore is working properly with your Personal Secure Drive consider the following:
 
a) Personal Secure Drive with a size up to 200 MB
You need to install Microsoft Hotfix WindowsXP-KB888402-x86-xxx.exe (where xxx is the language specific version).
This hotfix is only available for Windows XP SP2 via Microsoft support (http://support.microsoft.com). Please refer to KB888402.
If you do not install this hotfix, System Restore Points are deleted every time you load your PSD drive.
 
b) Personal Secure Drive with a size bigger than 200 MB
Personal Secure Drive bigger than 200 MB will be handled as every other drive which is of "local disk" type.
To ensure that System Restore is working properly please consider the disk space requirements of System Restore.
Following these requirements leave at least 80 MB free disk space on a Personal Secure Drive.
 
 
5.6.5 Timeout in user authentication for WLAN client connection

You need to authenticate to establish a WLAN client connection. Security Platform User Authentication is displayed. Please authenticate within 30 seconds.
Else the WLAN client connection might fail. To enable the WLAN client connection after a timeout, click "Repair" in the WLAN connection's context menu. You do not need to logoff, logon and authenticate again in this case.


5.6.6 Possible user authentication problem in "Run as" mode

Under certain circumstances, an internal error will be returned when the user authentication dialog is expected. This error might occur if all of the following conditions are met:
- The program requiring the user authentication (e.g. User Initialization Wizard) was started in "Run as" mode.
- A certain version of the software "PGP" is installed, e.g. V9.04.
- There was no preceding user authentication in the current logon session.


5.6.7 Dictionary Attack behavior after upgrade from version 2.0

On Infineon Trusted Platform Module 1.2 systems which have been upgraded from Infineon Security Platform Software 2.0 the dictionary attack behavior has to be explicitly initialized by performing a defense level reset. Please start the Security Platform Initialization Wizard SpTPMWz.exe with the command line parameter -resetattack or /resetattack. Else the dictionary attack behavior is not as described in the online help. For example, the Security Platform is not temporarily disabled after multiple wrong authentication attempts.


5.6.8 Changing the system time may cause unexpected behaviour

Rolling back the system time may cause unexpected behaviour of the Infineon Security Platform software. Restarting the 
system will correct this behaviour.


5.6.9 Security Platform User Initialization may fail

Under certain circumstances, an error message will be shown at the first Security Platform User Initialization during EFS/PSD feature configuration ("An internal error occurred. An unexpected error occurred.").
To work around that problem, open User Initialization Wizard again, configure EFS/PSD anew with a new created certificate -or- use/create another user account.


5.6.10 Performing Emergency Recovery from a given Backup Archive more than once has the following restriction

Users which were not selected to be restored during Emergency Recovery and users which were selected but did not complete the restoration process cannot be selected during subsequent restorations. Create a copy of the backup archive to circumvent this.


5.6.11 Setup Repair Mode under restricted administrative account in Windows Vista

Users with restricted administrative account in Windows Vista will get an error message stating "Installation of Security Platform Software requires administrative permissions" while trying to repair the Infineon Security Platform Solution software through control panel, and the setup will abort. Please start setup repair mode by clicking on setup.exe in the CD-image.


5.6.12 Operating System upgrade to Windows Vista

a) If you currently have a lower version of Infineon TPM Professional Package V3.0 installed on your system, then you cannot directly upgrade the operating system to Windows Vista. First you need to upgrade to Infineon TPM Professional Package V3.0 and then perform operating system upgrade to Windows Vista.

b) After you upgrade the operating system from Windows XP to Windows Vista on a system that has Infineon TPM Professional Package V3.0.1 installed, unexpected User Authentication dialogs are displayed whenever an administrative user logs on to the system who was already initialized for using EFS with Security Platform. To prevent these dialogs from being displayed each time the administrative user logs on, follow the steps mentioned below:
   1. Start configuration of user setting from Infineon Security Platform Settings Tool and select the feature "File and folder encryption with Encrypting File System (EFS)".
   2. On next page "Encryption Certificate" click on "Select".
   3. Create a new TPM certificate by clicking on "Create" and select this new certificate.
   4. Configure EFS and finish User Initialization Wizard. 
   5. Start configuration of user setting from Infineon Security Platform Settings Tool again and select the feature "File and folder encryption with Encrypting File System (EFS)".
   6. On next page "Encryption Certificate" click on "Select".
   7. Select the original TPM certificate which was used before step 3 again.
   8. Configure EFS and finish User Initialization Wizard.


5.6.13 WLAN support on Windows Vista

Infineon TPM Professional Package V3.0.1 does not support WLAN on Windows Vista Operating System.


5.6.14 Policies are not displayed correctly after upgrade

If you upgrade from an operating system that does not support group policy (e.g Windows Media Center, Windows XP Home) to an operating system that supports group policy (e.g. Windows Vista Ultimate, Windows Vista Business), policies are not displayed as expected. To work around this problem, uninstall and freshly install the Infineon TPM Professional Package Software after operating system upgrade.


5.6.15 Server mode support

Server mode is not supported by this version.
