DT277164 Configure IBM Content Navigator Web Application task does not use SSL protocol with Oracle WebLogic.
(IBM Content Navigator users) After creating a configuration profile that connects to Oracle WebLogic web application server using SSL protocol (t3s), if the Configure IBM Content Navigator Web Application task is run, the getWLJNDI script generated in the temporary folder (default location is ECMClient/configure/tmp) by this task, is observed to contain a non-SSL (t3) protocol URL with an SSL port. The task therefore fails to complete, resulting in a failure to correctly build the application and deploy it. With this fix, the WebLogic URL is generated correctly using the protocol specified in the profile properties and the subsequent build and deploy tasks complete successfully. This symptom does not occur if non-SSL (t3) protocol is used to connect to WebLogic server.

IO29417 Browser plugin resource cache is not refreshed when plugin resources are updated.
(IBM Content Navigator users) The browser cache is not refreshed when a plugin updated. Users need to clear the browser cache manually in order to see the plugin changes. With this fix, once the prioir browser cache that was made without the fix is cleared, the subsequent browser cache is refreshed automatically once the plugin is updated, all ICN servers are restarted, and the browser is reloaded. The fix requires the following rule to be present in the ESAPI web application firewall policy file described in https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/content-navigator/3.0.15?topic=security-protecting-your-web-application-by-using-firewall). The rule is added to the default policy file, ESAPIWafPolicy.xml.default, as part of this fix: <add-header name="Cache-Control" value="no-cache" path=".*/plugin/.*/getResource/.*"/>.
