New and Changed Features in SP6

Certifications

CA Directory and CA Directory Management are now certified on HP-UX 11iv3 IA-64, and AIX 7.1 64-bit.

Note: For more information see Operating System Support.

Salted SHA512 and Salted MD5 Supported for Hashing the userPassword Attribute

CA Directory now supports Salted SHA-512 and Salted MD5 hashing of the userPassword attribute.

These newly supported algorithms have been added to the set password-storage command. For more information, see set password-storage Command in the Reference Guide.

Improved Upgrade from Versions of CA Directory that Use Ingres

The migration from Ingres to DXgrid DB has been greatly improved. This is particularly important when upgrading from CA Identity Manager r12.5.

DXmanager

CA Directory r12 SP6 does not include a new version of the Directory Manager package (which includes DXmanager). It contains a new version of the Directory package only (which includes DXserver).

You can safely upgrade the Directory package without updating Directory Management.

If you are installing for the first time, install the following versions of these packages:

• Directory r12 SP6
• Directory Management r12 SP2

Note: For more information about the installation packages, see Installation Components in the Installation Guide.
