After applying patch 11.0p475 or newer, Guardium supports SHA256 GIM certificates. This has the following implications:
- If using default certificates, GIM connections are secured using SHA128. Custom certificates using SHA256 are more secure and are recommended for GIM connections.
Note that GIM connectivity is not interrupted after applying this patch. - GIM only verifies bundles signed with SHA256 and requires installing a transitional GIM bundle to support the change from SHA128 to SHA256.
For more information, see Updating Guardium Data Protection GIM clients with SHA256 certificates.
