III. Detailed Description of Fixes (in Defect ascending order)
===============================================================================

  RTC465772/IT08982  - Upgrade to IBM JRE 1.7 SR9 for latest security
            IT07375    which turn off SSLv3 and RC4 support by default
                     
      Note that with this new JRE, SEAS only allows TLS sessions by default and 
      will reject SSLv3 sessions.  If the SSLv3 protocol is required until 
      other components can switch to TLS, then for UNIX/Linux, add the   
         -Dcom.ibm.jsse2.disableSSLv3=false 
      property to the Java startup line(s) in the bin/startSeas.sh script.
      For Windows, add the property to the " lax.nl.java.option.additional=" 
      line  in the bin\SEAS$.lax file.

  RTC469964/IT09808  - In FIPS mode, cipher selection limited under Java 6.

      Resolution: Updated the FIPS module to allow extra cipher suites when
      running under Java 7, which is what is distributed now.

  RTC469968          - Allow non-interactive "autoshutdown" feature.

      Enhancement to allow shutting down SEAS without prompting for a userid
      or password.
      Syntax:  <SEAS>/bin/stopSeas.sh mode=auto

 JRE Upgrade        - Upgrade to IBM JRE 1.7 SR9 FP10 for latest security
                       patches
