Change Log: Novell Certificate Server Classes for Java
October 17, 2007
Binaries:
- Updated source code to the 3.3.0 version. New features include:
- Support for the SHA-2 signing algorithm.
- Support for forcing the acquisition of a new CRL rather than using a cached CRL during certificate chain validation.
- Support for User and Server Self-Provisioning via new SecurityRightsLevel APIs.
- The capability to require Write rights to operate the CA via new SecurityRightsLevel APIs.
- The capability to allow any authenticated user to cause the CA to issue an emergency CRL via new SecurityRightsLevel APIs.
- Support for the PKCS#8 Private Key type in the NPKIT PEM types.
- Changes to support 64 bit versions.
- A flag for NPKIGetServerInfo that is used to remotely start the Server Health Check.
- A flag for NPKICreateDefaultCertificates, which will cause the default certificates to be re-created if the CA has changed.
- Changed NPKICreateDefaultCertificates to automatically add subject alternative names when creating the default certificates.
- APIs to configure the new KMO Export functionality which can export a KMO's certificates and private-key to the file system in a format consistent with Apache or OpenSSL Servers. (This functionality is not needed or available on NetWare.)
