Error description

  • ENV : Access Manager 5.1
    
    According to AM 5.1 Base Administrators Guide page 276,
    ca-cert-download-enabled functionality is supported.
    But ca-cert-download-enabled parameter seemed to be no effect.
    This is the response from L3:
    ----------------------------------------------------------------
    The behavior changed for the server from the 4.1 to 5.1 release,
    since it was deemed that there's no security problem with the
    server providing its certificate if so requested. It us up to
    the client to determine how it wants to acquire the server's
    certificate.
    It is up to you if you want to open an APAR, but if you do, open
    it against the pubs for AM 5.1, since we will have to document
    that the server always provides his certificate, ignoring the
    configuration setting.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------
    We need to correct the base admin guide to tell the customer
    that ca-cert-download-enabled will ignore by pdmgrd on AM5.1.

Problem conclusion

  • Following information has been added to the README:
    
    7.24 pdmgrd will ignore ca-cert-download-enabled
    
    pdmgrd always allows CA certificate download,
    it is up to the client application to allow
    downloading of the certificate.
    
    
    This is documented in the README for 5.1.0-TIV-TAM-FP0006.
