Installation path changed on Windows/64bit

Up to and including SSX 10.7, the installation path used to point to common\security\ssx_64 . This has now been aligned with the other platforms to common\security\ssx.

Default Administrator account removed

The default Administrator account, which was stored in the internal text repository at etc/ssx_user, has been removed. Instead, the installation now asks for a user-provided password.

Version 10.7

Deprecation of Solaris v.11.3

The original provider of the operating system Solaris (Oracle) strongly recommends to upgrade from version 11.3 to 11.4 as of now.

In order to provide for enough time for Software AG customers to react to the upgrade policy of Oracle for Solaris versions after v.11.3, production environments based on Software AG products of this October 2020 release will in general continue to work without the immediate need to upgrade. However, Software AG customer support will only handle issues for Software AG products that can be reproduced in a Solaris v.11.4 environment.

All newer versions of Software AG products AFTER the October 2020 release will no longer work with Solaris v.11.3. Software AG therefore strongly recommends to address necessary migration steps timely.
