Attention
SHA256 GIM client certificates
After applying patch 11.0p530 or later, Guardium supports SHA256 GIM certificates. This has the following implications:
  • The default certificates could be either SHA256 or SHA128, depending on the GIM server certificate setup. Custom certificates that use 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 installation of a transitional GIM bundle to support the GIM client change from SHA128 to SHA256.
Guardium GIM default self-signed SHA128 certificate
The Guardium GIM default self-signed certificates expired in May 2024. If the certificates were not renewed by the expiration date, the GIM client-server communication is affected. Please note that data monitoring activity through S-TAP is not disrupted.
  • To renew the GIM server (appliance) certificate, install patch 11.0p1042.
  • To renew the GIM clients (database server agent) certificate, upgrade to version 11.4.0.413 or later.
