BUGS

Redirection URL appx approval sponsored connection: Corrected that the redirection page for the approval of the request of sponsor access is https in the case of using the domain appx.octopuswifi.com (proxy).

Clear MAC Caching table: Corrects the confirmation of deletion of MACs from the table in the case of domains. It was deleted correctly but an error message was displayed.

Chrome error "You are about to send an unsecured information" in platform login process: After platform update, a warning appears in the Chrome browser to send unsecured information. Some http request that collected content information is corrected.

In solution with Cisco IOS-XE software, the session expires when an associated entry in the MAC Caching table is deleted. The attribute radius acct-terminate-cause = Session timeout, sent in the accounting-stop packet, is obviated to avoid this problem.

Google MAPs API failure: Fixed an update in the google maps API call.
