Known Side Effects

For a complete list of known issues including late breaking issues, refer to the Known issues support page:

 
For issues resolved in other fix packs, refer to the previous release notes:

Refer to the following link, for the latest list of deprecated or disabled Impact 7.1.1 components:
 
      Known Issues:
  • SSL Certificate Validation Failure in Impact Health Checker
    Symptom: Starting with Impact 7.1.0 Fix Pack 32, the Health Checker validates SSL certificates during fix pack upgrades. If expired or invalid certificates are detected, the upgrade may fail.
    Resolution: To bypass SSL certificate validation during the upgrade, set the following environment variable before running the upgrade scripts (update_*.bat or update_*.sh):
        impactbypasscertcheck=true

    Platform-Specific Instructions:

    Windows:
    1. Set the environment variable in either the System Properties profile.
    2. Open a new command window.
    3. Run the following command:
        echo %impactbypasscertcheck%
        Ensure it returns true before re-running the upgrade script.

    Unix/Linux:
        1. Set the environment variable:
              export impactbypasscertcheck=true
        2. Confirm with:
              echo $impactbypasscertcheck 
    IMPORTANT:
    Remove the impactbypasscertcheck environment variable after the upgrade is complete to restore standard certificate validation.
  • TLS_RSA cipher suites are disabled by default
    Symptom:
    In Java 8 SR8 FP60 and later, the TLS_RSA cipher suites are disabled by default. TLS_RSA_* is added to the jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms security property in the java.security configuration file to disable all cipher suites that start with "TLS_RSA_". The system property, com.ibm.jsse2.overrideDefaultCSName must be set to true.
