This version contains many new and changed features for those who are responsible for securing applications and the application serving environment.
Many of the attributes used to configure SSL, such as the key stores, and the default repertoire configurations have changed. Also, direct references to SSL configurations are no longer stored in the server.xml file. The convertSSLConfig wsadmin task provides an alternative to manually converting an existing pre-Version 6.1 SSL configurations to a Version 6.1 style SSL configuration.
Beginning with this fix pack, if you want changes in SAF to a user or group membership to become effective immediately, you can call the purgeUserFromAuthCache SecurityAdmin MBean method for the modified user. Otherwise, the changes become effective when the cache is refreshed on a periodic basis.
