============================================================================== = IBM WebSphere Business Integration for Financial Networks for AIX = = 5724-D96 Extending Features V2.2.0 SWIFTAlliance Gateway Add-On 2.2.0.4 = = PTF for APAR PK96455 = ============================================================================== 0. Important Notes ------------------ If you did not previously install an SAG Add-On APAR fix containing PK45605 you should read section "D. Migration of existing passwords". A. How to use this document --------------------------- This file describes how to install the SWIFTAlliance Gateway (SAG) Add-On 2.2.0.4 PTF for APAR PK96455 on a SAG Release 6 or 6.1. This PTF replaces all previous SAG Add-On PTFs and APAR fixes. When installing this PTF you have to apply the PTF for APAR PK65298 for WebSphere BI for FN on AIX to enable it to correctly display new or updated events sent by the SAG Add-On. You can download the PTF from the following FTP site: http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/ Get the file for your SAG platform: AIX: sag6sagaddon_V220_aix_PK96455.tar Sun: sag6sagaddon_V220_sun_PK96455.tar Win: sag6sagaddon_V220_win_PK96455.exe B. Changes to your current system --------------------------------- The SAG Add-On is completely replaced. A backup copy of the SAG Add-On profile 'dnfcssao.cfg' should be retained. C. Installation --------------- To be able to install this PTF you have to uninstall your previous version of the SAG Add-On. Before you do this, create a backup copy of the SAG Add-On profile 'dnfcssao.cfg'. Install the current SAG Add-On PTF as described in 'Planning, Installation, and Customization'. Instead of creating a new SAG Add-On profile you can reuse the backup copy you created before. D. Migration of existing passwords ---------------------------------- The APAR fix for PK45605 which is also contained in this PTF has changed the type of passwords created with the SAG configuration commands 'createCertificate' and 'recoverCertificate' from 'human' to 'application', because the passwords used by WebSphere BI for FN have a clear application characteristic. The main differences between these two policy types are as follows: human: 8 to 20 characters, to be changed every 90 days application: 17 to 20 characters, to be changed every 2 years To migrate passwords previously created as human passwords into application passwords: - issue command 'setUpUserForRecovery - initialize the HSM partition of this certificate (if the certificate is located on an HSM) - issue command recoverCertificate Note that you will have a mixture of human and application passwords, if you do not migrate all existing passwords, and create new passwords. Section "E. Transition period for human passwords" contains further information about the password length check performed by the SAG configuration commands. E. Transition period for human passwords ---------------------------------------- To allow the further use of human passwords for a transition period the password length check performed by the various SAG operation commands will not be adjusted. This means when specifying a short password with length 8 you will not receive message DNFG2122E but a SAG error response like this: DNFS1751E Command failed to execute. DNFS1741E The 'SwGbl:Code' is 'Sw.Gbl.UnexpectedSystemError'. DNFS1741E The 'SwGbl:Severity' is 'Transient'. DNFS1741E The 'SwGbl:Text' is 'Unexpected System Error'. DNFS1741E The 'SwGbl:Details/SwGbl:Code' is 'Sw.Sec.PKI_IrrecoverableCondition'. DNFS1741E The 'SwGbl:Details/SwGbl:Text' is 'Fatal error in PKI security interface, SessionId=23278 :LocalError=-22201 :FuncID=114 :EntrustError=-11005028 [Unable to recover user. ] [Unable to recover user. ] [Error encountered for user: test2-aixsagta."The provided password must be at least 17 characters in length."] [(-1664) Password rules validation reported error.] '. DNFS1741E The 'SwGbl:Details/SwGbl:Action' is 'See parameter for exact details of the error'. DNFS1741E The 'SwGbl:Details/SwGbl:Code' is 'Sw.Sec.PKI_IrrecoverableCondition'. DNFS1741E The 'SwGbl:Details/SwGbl:Text' is 'Fatal error in PKI security interface, SessionId=23278 :LocalError=-22201 :FuncID=114 :EntrustError=-11005028 [Unable to recover user. ] [Unable to recover user. ] [Error encountered for user: test2-aixsagta."The provided password must be at least 17 characters in length."] [(-1664) Password rules validation reported error.] '. DNFS1741E The 'SwGbl:Details/SwGbl:Action' is 'See parameter for exact details of the error'. DNFS1741E The 'SwGbl:Parameter' is 'SessionId=23278 :LocalError=-22201 :FuncID=114 :EntrustError=-11005028 [Unable to recover user. ] [Unable to recover user. ] [Error encountered for user: test2-aixsagta."The provided password must be at least 17 characters in length."] [(-1664) Password rules validation reported error.] '. *------------------------------------------------------------------------* * End of Migration * *------------------------------------------------------------------------* F. APARs addressed ------------------ PK96455 SAG ADDON PASSES A CORRUPT MESSAGE Formerly, when an entry from the SAG event log contained parameters with one or more ampersand characters in it, for example, a logical file name that started with an ampersand character, the SAG AddOn passed a corrupt message to the DNF_FTEVNTS service and caused the CIN to stop. The problem occured when using DFAS and the SAG Add-on FileAct handler processed an Event. Now, the SAG AddOn behaviour is corrected and no corrupted message is passed to the DNF_FTEVNTS service. APARs from superseded PTFs or APAR fixes: PK79811 UNINSTALL / INSTALL ERROR SAG ADDON ON AIX PK64187 GETEXTFILEINT RETURNING -1 ERROR Formerly, the SAG Add-On on PTF level PK64187 got the uninstall / install error getExtFileInt returning -1 error caused by external license function of License Acceptance Process (LAP) tool. Now, the SAG Add-On behaviour is corrected. PK64187 PROBLEM DURING THE WBIFN SAG ADDON EVENT PROCESSING FORWARDING DUE TO THE DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME FLAG Formerly, the SAG Add-On did use an own calculation to convert from GMT to local time which depending on the settings could differ from the method the SAG uses for his events. As a consequence the SAG AddOn may not have sent the SAG events to WebSphere BI for FN for the period resulting from the difference when a new SAG was connected, or in any other situation where the queue SNCCLOGKEYS is empty. Now, the SAG AddOn uses a conversion method that matches to the method used by the SAG. PK50378 SAG ADDON MESSAGE DNFS1533E DOES NOT SPECIFY THE CONFIGURATION OBJECT NAME WHICH HAS A PROBLEM Formerly, when using the SAG configuration service to deploy many changes at once to the SAG AddOn, but a single object had a missing mandatory attribute, the error message did not enable you to locate the erroneous object. Now, message DNFS1533E lists the name of the object that causes the failure. PK51650 REMOVECERTFROMSAG COMMAND FAILED Formerly, removing a certificate from the SAG using DNFSAGCFG command removeCertFromSag fails with following error event: Error: Sag:SN-I.002.002 Message: Invalid content. Details: Real profile is still referenced by the following message partner(s) : 'dnfsaomp' The error event was logged in the SAG event log. Now, the SAG AddOn automatically removes the certificate from the internally used message partner 'dnfsaomp' before it tries to remove the certificate from the SAG. PK50170 AFTER THE SAG RESTART WBIFN ADDON V2.2 DOES NOT CONNECT AGAIN AUTOMATICALLY TO SAG Formerly, when the SAG was restarted, but the SAG Add-On kept running, it was not able to reconnect after the SAG was restarted. This has been fixed. PK50747 WBIFN SAG ADDON V2.2 STOPS PROCESSING WITHOUT ANY INDICATION Formerly, the SAG Add-On could did stop when certain WMQ connection problems did occur. This was fixed. PK48944 DIFFERENT TIME ZONES IN DNI MONITOR DISPLAY Formerly, the events reported by the SAG Add-On did use the timestamp from the SAG event log and therefore were not in GMT. This caused problems to correlate the events later in WebSphere BI for FN. The SAG Add-On now generates an own timestamp when retrieving the events from the SAG and adds the original timestamp from the SAG event log as an additional parameter. PK45605 WBI-FN ALWAYS CREATES CERTIFICATES OF TYPE HUMAN, BUT TYPE APPLICATION IS REQUIRED BY THE WBI-FN SERVICES Formerly, the SAG configuration commands 'createCertificate' and 'recoverCertificate' created human passwords. However, in the WebSphere BI for FN context application passwords are more appropriate. WebSphere BI for FN now always creates application passwords. PK45760 SAG ADDON LOOPS WHEN IT TRIES TO PARSE A CORRUPTED EVENT SAG events containing the ampersand character '&' could have caused a loop in the SAG AddOn, so that for instance customers using FileAct did not receive further transfer events to update the file status. PK42511 EXCEPTION IN SAG ADDON DURING DEPLOY WHEN NO CERTIFICATES EXIST Formerly, an exception occured in the SAG AddOn during deploy when no certificates existed. This behaviour has been corrected.
