Download Description
This fix pack corrects problems in IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager (Federated Identity Manager), Version 6.2.0. It requires that the IBM Federated Identity Manager, Version 6.2.0, be installed. After installing this fix pack, your Federated Identity Manager installation will be at version 6.2.0.13.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Potential cross-site scripting vulnerabiltity via macros in event page template files
Some IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager page macros might be vulnerable to cross site scripting attacks when their values are not properly encoded. Contact IBM Support for the list of macros that might be subjected to this issue. To remediate this, add the macros provided by IBM Support to the list of comma-separated tokens in the runtime custom property SPS.PageFactory.HtmlEscapedTokens. Add these macro so that their values are HTML-escaped in the template files. For example, if the list of macros provided is:
- @EXAMPLE_MACRO1@
- @EXAMPLE_MACRO2@
- @EXAMPLE_MACRO3@
the value of the runtime custom property SPS.PageFactory.HtmlEscapedTokens with the above macros added can be:
@REQ_ADDR@,@DETAIL@,@EXCEPTION_STACK@,@EXCEPTION_MSG@,@RESPONSE@,@TARGET@,@DETAIL@,@SAMLSTATUS@,@EXAMPLE_MACRO1@,@EXAMPLE_MACRO2@,@EXAMPLE_MACRO3@
NOTE: Other macros that are prone to cross site scripting vulnerability can also be added to SPS.PageFactory.HtmlEscapedTokens. The value of this runtime custom property will be revised periodically and update as needed. For more information regarding the runtime custom property, access http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSZSXU_6.2.0/com.ibm.tivoli.fim.doc_6.2/installconfig/reference/CustomPropsSPS.html.
Possible security exposure with IBM WebSphere Application Server with WS-Security enabled applications using LTPA tokens (CVE-2011-1377)
The security that the IBM WebSphere Application Server provides might be weaker than expected when using web services security (WS-Security). A user might randomly gain elevated privileges on the provider system. WS-Security might assign the identity of a previously processed LTPA token to a new inbound LTPA token after authentication. This impacts applications using either JAX-WS and JAX-RPC.
Versions affected:
- IBM WebSphere Application Server, all platforms, Versions 8.0 through 8.0.0.2, 7.0 through 7.0.0.21, and 6.1 through 6.1.0.41, 6.0.2 through 6.0.2.43.
- IBM WebSphere Application Server Feature Pack for Web Services Versions 6.1.0.9 through 6.1.0.39.
The same fix applies to the IBM WebSphere Application Server Standalone, Network Deployment and Embedded (eWAS) versions. It also applies to the eWAS version that is included with IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager.

If all three components are not at the same fix pack level, they are not guaranteed to interoperate with each other as designed.
Problems fixed by fix pack 6.2.0-TIV-TFIM-FP0013
The following problems are corrected by this fix pack. For more information about the APARs listed here, refer to the Tivoli Federated Identity Manager support site.
APAR IV43162
SYMPTOM: Wrong X509SKI value in digital signature.
APAR IV42940
SYMPTOM: Trace message starting with "Please ask development to consider making this class Immutable: " and ending with an exception stack trace is confusing customers who are checking the trace logs.
APAR IV40190
SYMPTOM: Unable to configure SAML Identity Provider to only sign the AuthResponse and not sign the Assertion when HTTP POST binding is used.
APAR IV09367
SYMPTOM: IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager is incorrectly processing SAML aliases with certain directory servers.
APAR IV24603
SYMPTOM: Some Service Providers for the WS-Federation Passive Profile do not accept RequestSecurityTokenResponse that contain certain elements. For example, Sharepoint does not accept RequestSecurityTokenResponse that contains the elements wst:Forwardable, wst:Delegatable, wst:Status and wst:Renewing. However, these elements are present in the RequestSecurityTokenResponse generated by the IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Identity Provider for the WS-Federation Passive Profile.
APAR IV19689
SYMPTOM: The SAML 1.1 STS Token Module fails to populate the STSUU's Principal correctly when the inbound SAML Assertion contains an AuthenticationStatement with a type attribute that is set to something other than "saml:AuthenticationStatement".
APAR IV38244
SYMPTOM: The FBTSML227E error message is displayed incorrectly.
APAR IV23069
SYMPTOM: When no Format attribute for the NameIDPolicy element is found in the SAML 2.0 AuthnRequest message, the Identity Provider will treat the Format as "urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameidformat:persistent". The Identity Provider should instead refer to the "DefaultNameIDFormat" parameter configured for the Federation/Partner, which is what it does when the Format for the NameIdPolicy element in AuthnRequest message is "urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:unspecified".
APAR IV36844
SYMPTOM: When the Format attribute for the NameID element in the SAML 2.0 Assertion is "urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:unspecified", the Service Provider will treat the Format as "urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameidformat:persistent". The Service Provider should instead refer to the "DefaultNameIDFormat" parameter configured for the Federation/Partner.
APAR IV38308
SYMPTOM: The STSUUSER principal does not match the incoming subject name id of the assertion.
APAR IV38365
SYMPTOM: Corrupted URLs in the feds.xml and sps.xml when a non-sps URL is provided for Single Sign-On Service, Single Logout Service, Soap Endpoint, Artifact Resolution Service, Assertion Consumer Service or Name ID Management Service URLs in the SAML 2.0 IP/SP Federation properties page via Management Console. Fix for this defect will include validation of the above URLs. The URL provided will be checked to ensure that it is a properly formatted URL and that it is a sps URL. If not, the same error message "The value entered for X contains an improperly formatted URL" will be shown when saving federation properties.
APAR IV38366
SYMPTOM: Blank page is shown when the session cannot be found.
APAR IV38326
SYMPTOM: Single logout fails when two Service Providers are authenticated using the same session index and both Service Provider federations are on the same IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager domain.
APAR IV38368
SYMPTOM: A HTML page with SOAPException message, instead of a SOAP Fault, is returned as a response to a request security token SOAP request, with invalid issuer or appliesto, sent to SAML 1.1 artifact service endpoint.
APAR IV38369
SYMPTOM: The FBTSPS061E An unexpected error has occurred with a protocol module error is displayed when a federated SSO request is received at the service provider and WebSeal is used as the point of contact.
APAR IV38370
SYMPTOM: Tivoli Access Manager WebSEAL failover cookies do not work when Tivoli Federated Identity Manager is configured to generate IV credential tokens without using PDAcld.
APAR IV38376
SYMPTOM: Certain point of contacts that use external authentication interface do not recognize the identity of the user that is set by IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager in the response HTTP header (typically, "am-fim-eai-user-id"), since these point of contacts are not aware that IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager URL encodes this identity. IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager should not URL encodes this identity.
APAR IV38377
SYMPTOM: The base64 encoded token generated by IVCred STS module is split into multiple lines. Some customers require that the token not to be split into multiple lines.
APAR IV38378
SYMPTOM: No error message is reported when importing SAML 2.0 Identity Provider or Service Provider whose metadata contains Organization element with no OrganizationURL element.
APAR IV38385
SYMPTOM: Requests to IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager WSTrust 1.3 endpoint URL using the ?WSDL parameter to get the WSDL document results in subsequent SOAP services to fail.
APAR IV38387
SYMPTOM: The string "???????? Web ??????!" is returned when accessing the URL
http://hostname:9080/Info/InfoService
using web browser. This problem may happen when the language of the browser is different from the language of the operating system of the server.
APAR IV38388
SYMPTOM: Security update for IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Runtime.
APAR IV38389
SYMPTOM: The STS obtains the base security token for execution from either the base element on the RequestSecurityToken message or from the WS-Security tokens included on the soap headers. Tivoli Federated Identity Manager will take the first WS-Security token found on the soap header. After this modification the SAML STS modules will look for the appropriate token type included on the WS-Security headers when the change is enabled.
APAR IV38391
SYMPTOM: IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager doesn't provide 2048 bit option as key size when generating certificate request or self-signed certificate through console.
APAR IV38359
SYMPTOM: The IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Single Sign On protocol service (SPS) SAML 2.0 protocol implementation allows a customer to use the 'urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:unspecified' name identifier for single sign on. By default IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager will treat a 'urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:unspecified' name identifier as 'urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameidformat:persistent' name identifier unless the default name identifier is set to another type like emailAddress. The Single Logout operation incorrectly queries the alias service if unspecified name identifier is used and the default name identifier is set to email.
APAR IV38364
SYMPTOM:
1. When defining a text field in GUIXML, and setting its default value to a string containing a quotation mark, Tivoli Federated Identity Manager throws an exception when loading the GUIXML page saying that the XML is invalid.
2. In an STS module which has an 'init' page widget which has a multi-valued TextField, only the first value of the multiple values is displayed when viewing the module instance properties.

APAR IV24381
SYMPTOM: Improve XML Signature Conformance
APAR IV26034
SYMPTOM: The RelayState query string parameter provided to the IP-initiated SSO initial URL is used to populate the RelayState macro in the authentication response when the target query string parameter is empty or not provided. It should be ignored.
APAR IV26826
SYMPTOM: Update deployment descriptor for the Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Management Console servlets.
APAR IV26823
SYMPTOM: Update log traces in FSSO and STS.
Problems fixed by fix pack 6.2.0-TIV-TFIM-FP0009
SYMPTOM: ClassCastException is thrown when adding a SAML 2.0 Identity Provider as a partner. This problem happens when the metadata of the Identity Provider contains SAML attributes.
APAR IV01314
SYMPTOM: LTPA Token Module is not calculating the expiration date correctly. When a token is renewed, the expiration date is added to the userdata structure expiration array. The new expiration date is the last item added to the array. The IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager was incorrectly taking the first item on the array.
APAR IV01819
SYMPTOM: ClassCastException is thrown when configuring LDAP alias service using the IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Command Line. This problem happens if at least one LDAP server exists in the system.
APAR IV01295

APAR IV01319
SYMPTOM: SAML 2.0 STS Module fails to validate the subject confirmation method correctly when the assertion is received as part of the SAML 2.0 Single Sign On operation. The specification requires that an assertion that is generated as part of a Single Sign On flow should at least include one of the subject confirmation methods of value urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:cm:bearer.
APAR IV01315
SYMPTOM: SAML 2.0 SPS Module is setting the Destination attribute on LogoutReponse message when the request is received through SOAP binding at the Identity Provider and there is more than one service provider session that was authenticated based on the Identity Provider session. The Destination field might have the url for the incorrect partner that is not the one that send the LogoutRequest.
APAR IV01318
SYMPTOM: The IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager LTPA STS module support code is not thread safe. The code uses an static instance of a JDK class that is not thread safe causing undetermined results while verifying or generating the ltpa token signature on environments with high volume of transaction.
APAR IV03231
SYMPTOM: KERBEROS STS MODULE TO ENFORCE TOKEN ONE TIME USE.
APAR IV03050
SYMPTOM: Security update for the IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Management Console.
APAR IV01824

APAR IZ03616
SYMPTOM: The SAML specification allows for the Identity Provider not to include an issuer value on the SAMLResponse as long as the assertion includes the value. The IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager SAML module was expecting for the issuer on the SAML Response to always be included. Such expectation was causing a Null Pointer Exception when the values was not included.
APAR IZ72928
SYMPTOM: Opening a Tivoli Federated Identity Manager page or portlet from the WebSphere Application Server ISC causes a JNDI exception of the type NameNotFoundException to be logged in the WAS server log.

SYMPTOM: The IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager generates a NullPointerException when the SAMLResponse received from the Identity Provider does not include a Issuer value though the Issuer value is included in the assertion.
APAR IZ92245
SYMPTOM: Duplicate STS chain mappings are created when adding a SAML 2.0 Service Provider as a partner. This problem happens if the metadata of the Service Provider contains at least three distinct assertion consumer services with at least three distinct URLs.
APAR IZ94653
SYMPTOM: Ability for IVCRED STS Module to return error (default) or map to special user account for unauthenticated user token.
APAR IV01175
SYMPTOM: The SAML 2.0 SPS module during a Single Logout operation on Service Provider side is invoking the alias service regardless if email name id format was used to single sign on the user. While the Single Logout Operation is successful, an error is included on the logs though the alias operation is not required.
APAR IZ96477
SYMPTOM: Mapping from single logout URL to protocol is deleted from the configuration file after clicking the button "OK" or "Apply" in the Federation Properties page in TFIM Console. This problem happens if the single logout bindings that are enabled are only HTTP-Redirect and SOAP. The missing mapping causes single logout operation to fail.
APAR IV01201
SYMPTOM: CommandException is thrown when exporting a key from a keystore using IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Command Line. This problem happens if the parameter "exportPrivateKey" is specified with no value or with value "true".
APAR IV01202

Problems fixed by fix pack 6.2.0-TIV-TFIM-FP0002
SYMPTOM: When triggering MNIDS operation, user does not have an alias stored in LDAP alias repository causes WebSEAL to return a server error.
APAR IZ35877
SYMPTOM: A NullPointerException occurs when the SAML 2.0 Response does not contain an issuer.
APAR IZ47906
SYMPTOM: The IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager complains "invalid_message_timestamp" when it receives an AuthnRequest with a SAML 2.0 IssueInstant with the date time format of "2008-07-01T13:30:50.830773Z"
APAR IZ44577
SYMPTOM: STSMessageLogger does not work with multiple custom extensions. If two different chains utilize the STSMessageLogger, each with its own custom extension, only one of the extensions is used, and it is used by both chains.
APAR IZ44576
SYMPTOM: STSMessageLogger does not work with Information Card IDP trust chain. When the STSMessageLogger is used as the first element in a trust chain for an Information Card IDP federation, and a card is used at a RP, the retrieval of a security token from the IDP fails. The IDP's WebSphere log shows the exception com.ibm.ws.webservices.engine.InternalException java.lang.IllegalArgumentException.
APAR IZ44575
SYMPTOM: STSMessageLogger leaves open files locked on every IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager single-sign-on. When the STSMessageLogger is used in a trust chain for federated single sign-on, a new message logger file is created on every request. This rapidly results in file handle starvation.
APAR IZ44573
SYMPTOM: When using the STSMessageLogger in a trust chain, a new file is created each time the "Reload Configurations" operation is performed (i.e. an OSGi runtime restart). These file handles are left open until WebSphere is restarted.
APAR IZ44572
SYMPTOM: STSMessageLogger does not work when using WS-Trust 1.3 requests to the Tivoli Federated Identity Manager(TFIM) Security Token Service.
APAR IZ44571
SYMPTOM: If an OP returns an OP-Identifier as the claimed identifier then the Relying-Party does not reject the login and allows authentication to succeed. The Replying-Party should reject the login. This issue affects only OpenID relying-party configurations during OP-identifier login.
APAR IZ44569
SYMPTOM: OpenID Identity Provider hangs for long time when the relying-party sends an empty association handle. This results in a 30-second login time from this type of relying-party.
APAR IZ44567
SYMPTOM: Some OpenID relying-party logins fail if an empty OpenID invalidate_handle value is sent in the login response. This problem is discovered when testing with WebSphere sMash.
APAR IZ44562
SYMPTOM: If any page template that contains repeatable replacements is called with a replacement string that contains a single backslash or a dollar sign ($) then the replacement will not function correctly and will cause an IllegalArgumentException.
APAR IZ44560
SYMPTOM: When tracing is turned on for the class com.tivoli.am.fim.infocard.delegates.InfoCardSTSDelegate and username/password information card is presented at the IDP to exchange for a SAML assertion, the user's password is exposed in clear text in trace.
APAR IZ44570
SYMPTOM: OpenID Identity Provider SREG Namespace handling is broken. This problem is discovered when testing with WebSphere sMash. The OpenID identity provider should return the same SREG namespace as it received.
APAR IZ44555
SYMPTOM: If a user trusts an OpenID relying party site, then deletes the trust from the site manager, and re-accesses the site, the consent-to-authenticate page is not being displayed when it should. This affects OpenID identity provider installations.
APAR IZ44557
SYMPTOM: The OpenID 2.0 flows are non-conformant with the specification regarding a claimed identifier of identifier_select.
APAR IZ44559
SYMPTOM: The closing macro delimiter, @OPTIONAL_ATTRIBUTE@, is missing from the consent.html template file for the label for optional SREG attributes. This only applies to OpenID identity provider federations.
APAR IZ44563
SYMPTOM: OpenID RP in white-list scenario has severely slow performance.
APAR IZ35057
SYMPTOM: The SAML Assertion token generator was not issuing Assertions correctly with SubjectConfirmation methods of holder-of-key and sender-vouches.
APAR IZ47911
SYMPTOM: The publish plugins MBean action requires a domain to be passed in which causes a problem on systems where an IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager fix pack is applied before TFIM is configured.
APAR IZ47912
SYMPTOM: Calls to IDMappingExtUtils.AddAliasForUser (which is typically made from a mapping rule) appear to succeed for non-existent users when they actually do not succeed. No alias is added. This problem is only applicable on systems with the IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Alias service set to LDAP using TAM.
APAR IZ35742
SYMPTOM: IDP source validation can not be done because the SAML 1.x browser-artifact doesn't contain the IDP source. Relying-parties must be able to check in the mapping rule that the Issuer contained in an assertion comes from the expected IDP partner. Without this capability rouge IDP's can spoof other IDP's assertion issuers.
APAR IZ47913
SYMPTOM: When making STS requests to the WS-T 1.3 endpoint and authentication is enabled the requestor is not challenged to authenticate. This is because the WS-T 1.3 endpoint is missing the security constraint definition.
APAR IZ47917
SYMPTOM: When uninstalling a fixpack, the process might fail at the very end. The UPDI log shows that the backup pak file for the fixpack could not be removed from the system. The problem affects only Windows platform.
APAR IZ47918
SYMPTOM: The authentication data used during authentication callback is not made available when WebSeal is the PoC. The authentication mechanism being used for WebSeal PoC will not work because the authentication information such as the federation name, federation id, etc is not available.
APAR IZ47919
SYMPTOM: When running the IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager using WebSphere Application Server as the Point of Contact at the Service Provider and WebSEAL at the IDP you will get a null pointer exception when logout is invoked from the Service Provider after successfully SSO.
APAR IZ48040
SYMPTOM: The mapping rule example file ip_saml_20_email_nameid.xml is missing the namespace definition.
APAR IZ48041
SYMPTOM: Routine build maintenance.
Problems fixed by fix pack 6.2.0-TIV-TFIM-FP0001
SYMPTOM: SAML 2.0 sessions expire immediately if the Amount of time the assertion is valid property is set to 4294080 seconds or greater (49.7 days or greater).
APAR IZ31416
SYMPTOM: The WSSM trust client inserts erroneously a wsse namespace declaration into the wst:Base element when building requests to the trust service.
APAR IZ25784
SYMPTOM: When running in a WebSphere 6.0.2.x environment, an error could occur when importing or upgrading a Federated Identity Manager 6.1.1.x domain, if custom token modules were developed for it.
APAR IZ29211
SYMPTOM: A failure could occur while performing a SAML 2.0 single logout with the Service Provider, if the assistant name identifier was configured for the federation. The reported error was FBTSML219E.
APAR IZ29167
SYMPTOM: The underlying secure protocol of an HTTPS connection created by Tivoli Federated Identity Manager is hard-coded to be SSL.
APAR IZ30074
SYMPTOM: A timestamp is embedded within a passticket, but the time value interval is only granular to a full second.
APAR IZ30083
SYMPTOM: An error could occur when attempting to run the tfimcfg tool in a Sun Solaris(TM) environment. The error was seen after the WebSEAL hostname was provided. The reported error stated that HTTPS is not a recognized protocol.
APAR IZ30053
SYMPTOM: A performance degradation problem could occur when a federated single sign-on is attempted using LDAP registries containing millions of federated users. Depending on system and network conditions, a single sign-on operation could fail due to timeouts. The associated error reported a bad subtree search in LDAP.
APAR IZ30060
SYMPTOM: A potential problem could occur with the use of the OpenId Provider local identifier. When using OpenID 2.0, the Relying Party should differentiate between Claimed Identifiers and OP-Local Identifiers. The Federated Identity Manager implementation used the OP-Local identifier, if present, for both values. This APAR fixes this problem by ensuring compliance with the OpenID 2.0 specification.
APAR IZ30061
SYMPTOM: The OpenID Claimed Identifier was incorrectly normalized during HTML discovery. While performing an OpenID HTML discovery, the default action in the OpenID Relying Party was to follow redirections automatically which prevented the proper canonicalization of the final Claimed Identifier (claimed_id) URL.
APAR IZ30076
SYMPTOM: LTPA v2 issued tokens that were rejected by WebSphere Application Server versions 6.0.2 and 6.1.
APAR IZ30078
SYMPTOM: Logging and tracing could not be set for identity mapping from within an XSLT rule.
APAR IZ30080
SYMPTOM: An XSLT identity mapping failure occurred when using the alias server with JDBC.
APAR IZ34569
SYMPTOM: When an RST is sent to the STS with an empty textnode for either the AppliesTo, PortType or OperationName a null pointer exception is thrown.
APAR IZ34571
SYMPTOM: The Higgins Client Jars directory adks/client/sts is missing some dependency JARs and includes unnecessary server JARs.
APAR IZ34573
SYMPTOM: In an OpenID exchange the RP cannot display an appropriate login identifier on the screen to end users if the OP-identifier was used to login.
Prerequisites
You must have the following software installed in order to install this fix pack:
- IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager 6.2.0 and its prerequisites
- WebSphere Update Installer version 7.0.0.0 (see Update Installer below.)
- Enablement fix for Tivoli Federated Identity Manager (see Preinstallation enablement requirement for installing the fix pack for the first time)
Installation Instructions
Be aware of the following considerations before installing this fix pack:
Installation path specification for the Windows Server 2008 platform
This preinstallation item applies only to installations on a 64-bit Windows platform like Windows Server 2008.
Because Federated Identity Manager is a 32-bit application its default path when installing on Windows Server 2008 changes from
C:\Program Files\IBM\FIM
to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\FIM
Note that this change to the installation path name also affects a 32-bit WebSphere Application Server on Windows Server 2008:
C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere
changes to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\WebSphere
This fix pack requires the use of the WebSphere Update Installer version 7.0.0.0. Ensure that you have installed the correct version of the WebSphere Update Installer on each computer where you will install the fix pack. You can download the WebSphere Update Installer version 7.0.0.0 from the WebSphere Application Server Update Installer Web site. Installation instructions are on the download page.
Fix pack packaging
This Tivoli Federated Identity Manager 6.2.0-TIV-TFIM-FP0013 patch package is provided on the Tivoli Support Web site as a single downloadable zip file for each supported platform. After you select the package that is appropriate for the target platform, download the package and unzip the contents into a target directory, typically the default WebSphere Update Installer directory, either
C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\UpdateInstaller\maintenance
for Windows or
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/UpdateInstaller/maintenance
for Unix/Linux
You must unzip the downloaded file before you attempt to apply the patch. The unzipped contents are one or more pak files. Each pak file corresponds to one or more product components. For example, a fix pack might contain two pak files: one for the administration console and management service and runtime components, and one for the WSSM component. The full list of product components is described in Fix pack structure.
Use the WebSphere Update Installer to apply the fixes of each pak file to the target component on the system that you are updating. Apply all of the pak files that are required by your installation to ensure that the software levels in your environment are identical for all of the components for which a pak file is supplied. The fixes are tested against all affected components; therefore, to minimize any possible issue that can arise from applying a partial fix, ensure the you apply the complete set of files. See Installing the fix pack for specific instructions on using Update installer to apply the fixes.
Automatic creation of a backup directory
The Update Installer saves backup copies of the files that it replaces during the installation. You do not need to manually backup the Federated Identity Manager files.
Preinstallation enablement requirement for installing the fix pack for the first time
If this is the first time you are applying the fix pack to Federated Identity Manager, you must download and install the enablement fix for Tivoli Federated Identity Manager.
NOTE: Perform the following steps only if this is the first time you are applying a fix pack. You will not need to perform these steps for subsequent product updates.
1. Download the enablement fix into the Federated Identity Manager installation directory (typically C:\Program Files\IBM\FIM on a Windows system or /opt/IBM/FIM on a UNIX-based system) by clicking here.
2. Use the unzip option of the zip program for your operating system to unzip the file. On HP-UX, either use jar -xvf to unzip the file or download an unzip utility from the HPUX Connect site.
NOTE: If you are prompted to overwrite an existing file, accept it so that the target file is overwritten.
Installing the fix pack
NOTE: Before installing this fix pack, ensure that you have reviewed the prerequisites in Before installing the fix pack.
Downloading the fix pack
To obtain the fix pack:
1. Go to the IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager Support Web site.
2. Click Download. The fix pack (6.2.0-TIV-TFIM-FP0013) should be listed under Latest by date. If you do not see this fix pack listed, enter "6.2.0-TIV-TFIM-FP0013" in the Search field to access the link to the download window.
3. In the fix pack download window, scroll to the bottom of the window to view a listing of the download packages by platform.
4. Select the platform that corresponds to the target platform where you will apply the fixes. To ensure a secure download, you can select the DD (Download Director) option. If you have not used Download Director before, you will need to configure your browser to use Java security. Click What is DD? for configuration instructions.
Setting the WebSphere security passwords
If security is enabled on the WebSphere Application Server where Federated Identity Manager is installed, you must set the appropriate password values in the fim.appservers.properties file before you can apply the fix pack.
If security is not enabled, you can skip this step.
NOTE: If you add passwords to the fim.appservers.properties file, as described below, you specify these passwords using plain text. However, at the end of the fix pack installation process these passwords are obfuscated and will no longer be available in plain text format.
To specify security passwords, use the following procedure:
1. Using a text editor, open the file FIM_INSTALL_DIR/etc/fim.appservers.properties.
2. If the was.security.enabled property is present in the fim.appservers.properties file and is set to true then you must add two password properties to the file:
- the was.admin.user.pwd property with a value of the administrator login password for the WebSphere Application Server where Federated Identity Management is deployed
- the was.truststore.pwd property with a value of the password for the trust store used for client-side SSL authentication in that WebSphere Application Server
- was.admin.user.pwd=was_admin_pw
- was.truststore.pwd=truststore_pw
- the ewas.admin.user.pwd property with a value of the administrator login password for the Embedded WebSphere Application Server where Federated Identity Management is deployed
- the ewas.truststore.pwd property with a value of the password for the trust store used for client-side SSL authentication in that Embedded WebSphere Application Server
- ewas.admin.user.pwd=ewas_admin_pw
- ewas.truststore.pwd=truststore_pw
Applying the fix pack
1. Unzip the file you downloaded in Downloading the fix pack, preferably into the default WebSphere Update Installer's maintenence directory,
C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\UpdateInstaller\maintenance
for Windows.or
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/UpdateInstaller/maintenance
for Unix/Linux
2. Ensure that the WebSphere Application Server that hosts the Federated Identity Manager runtime and management service component is running.
3. Ensure that the WebSphere Application Server that hosts the Federated Identity Manager console component is running.
4. Start the appropriate WebSphere Update Installer (typically located in C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\UpdateInstaller on Windows systems, or in /opt/IBM/WebSphere/UpdateInstaller on UNIX-based systems).
5. In the Welcome window click Next. Federated Identity Manager will not be listed, but is supported.
6. Specify the path to the installation directory for Federated Identity Manager (typically C:\Program Files\IBM\FIM on Windows systems, or /opt/IBM/FIM on UNIX-based systems), then click Next.
7. Select Install maintenance in the dialog.
8. Specify the path where the fix pack (.pak) files were unzipped. The Update Installer automatically detects, enables, and displays the FIM fixes (pak files).
9. Determine which product components are installed on the system that you are updating. You should install only the pak files that correspond to the components on the target system. To determine the names and version levels of the product components installed on the target system, view the contents of the FIM_INSTALL_DIR/etc/version.propeties file with a text editor. The following list describes how to interpret the properties in the version.properties file:
itfim.build.version.rte-mgmtsvcs=version
Specifies that the management service and runtime component is installed at the level specified by version.
itfim.build.version.mgmtcon=version
Specifies that the administration console component is installed at the level specified by version.
itfim.build.version.wsprov=version
Specifies that the WS-provisioning runtime component is installed at the level specified by version.
itfim.build.version.wssm=version
Specifies that the Web services security management (WSSM) component is installed at the level specified by version.
itfim.build.version.fimpi=version
Specifies that the Web plug-in (either the Internet information services (IIS) Web plug-in or the Apache/IBM HTTP Server Web plug-in) is installed at the level specified by version.
Apply the fix packs to the product's components in the following order:
1. Management service and runtime and administration console>
2. Other components
Note: If a domain is not created before application of the IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager fix pack, the fix pack installation completes successfully with a "Partially Successful" message.
10. Compare the list of installed components to the list of pak files in the WebSphere Update Installer and select the pak files that correspond to the installed components, then click Next.
Note: The WebSphere Update Installer allows you to select more than one pak file at a time for execution. Select only the pak files that correspond to the components that are installed on the system you are updating. If you accidentally install more pak files than are needed, you can separately uninstall any fix packs for components that are not installed on the target system.
11. If needed (for example, if you need to install multiple pak files on the target system, and you only installed one pak file), repeat the previous step to install any additional pak files on the target system.
NOTE: If you are using the Kerberos Delegation STS module, you need to do the following to ensure the Kerberos Delegation DLL is not loaded in the Java Virtual Machine when it is replaced during runtime component deployment:
1. Restart all the runtime nodes.
2. Do not make any requests to the STS chain that invokes the Kerberos Delegation STS module.
3. Deploy the runtime component. See Deploying the fix pack runtime component for details.
Deploying the fix pack runtime component
After you install the fix pack, you need to redeploy the Tivoli Federated Identity Manager runtime. This task is identical to the deployment task you completed after the initial installation of the management service and runtime components. In a WebSphere cluster environment, you must ensure that the new runtime component is deployed to each WebSphere node.
The initial deployment steps are described in Creating and deploying a new domain in the Installation and Configuration Guide. The specific instructions for deploying the runtime begin in step 16.
NOTES:
- You do not have to re-configure the runtime into Tivoli Access Manager. The Tivoli Access Manager configuration is retained when the fix pack is applied.
- During redeployment of the runtime in a cluster environment, you might receive errors, such as, "ClassNotFoundException" in the WebSphere SystemOut.log files. Any such errors should stop after you restart the cluster.
Use the following procedure to deploy the updated Federated Identity Manager runtime:
1. Log in to the administration console.
2. Select Domain Management-> Runtime Node Management.
3. Ensure that the new runtime (version 6.2.0.13) is displayed as available, then click Deploy Runtime.
4. Wait for the deployment to finish by selecting Click to refresh runtime deployment status and check for completion...
5. If the domain was not created before application of the IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager fix pack, click Publish Plug-ins.
6. Verify that the currently deployed version is now 6.2.0.13 as follows:
1. Navigate to the Runtime Node Management window.
2. Look in the Runtime Management section of the Runtime Nodes portlet in the right panel and review the runtime information.
Example:
Runtime Information
----------------------------------------------
Current deployed version 6.2.0.13 [130517a]
Note: The number within the brackets [130517a] might be different from this example.
7. Repeat the previous step for each node in a WebSphere cluster environment.
Publish the fix pack plug-ins to the runtime and reload the configuration
After you install the fix pack and redeploy the Tivoli Federated Identity Manager runtime you must re-publish the plug-ins to the runtime and reload the configuration.
Use the following procedure to re-publish the plug-ins:
1. Log in to the administration console.
2. Select Domain Management -> Runtime Node Management.
3. Click Publish Plugins.
4. After the plug-ins are published, reload the runtime configuration.
