Advanced Password Services Components

In previous releases:

• You installed the Advanced Password Services (APS) web–side components with the APS installation kit. The components included the following interfaces:
  • The Change Password interface
  • The Forgotten Password interface
  • The Help Desk interface
• APS configuration files (APS.cfg and SmPortal.cfg) only supported IPv4 addresses.
• The SmPortal configuration file could only reference servers with IP addresses.

Consider the following items:

• The web agent installer is enhanced to include all web–side components.
• Manual steps are required to complete the installation of each component.

  Note: For more information, see the CA SiteMinder Advanced Password Services Guide.

• APS configuration files support IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

  Note: Some APS user directory attributes store an IP address. APSAdmin allows 15 characters for an IP address entry. If an IPv6 address is longer than 15 characters, it is truncated to fit and prefixed with a "T".

• The SmPortal configuration file can reference servers with fully qualified domain names and IP addresses.
• A web agent upgrade retains all LANG (translation) and CFG (configuration) files. The default r12.5 versions of the files are installed to agent_home\samples.
