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.)
    • Various bug fixes.
