Web Services Security Defects Fixed in r12.1 as of CR1

This r12.1 release contains the following fixes.

Variables Created in Admin UI Containing Expression Keywords as Variable Name Substrings Being Resolved Incorrectly (71976)

Symptom:

Variables created in the CA SiteMinder WSS Administrative UI which contain expression keywords (or, and, and so on) as substrings of the variable name are resolved incorrectly by the expression editor. For example a variable named "RandomVariableName" will be incorrectly converted to the name "R&omVariableName" causing the expression to be evaluated incorrectly.

This is no longer an issue.

SOA Agent Configuration Wizard Fails to Make Necessary Configuration File Changes for SOA Agent for Apache Web Server (78481)

Installer Properties File Used for Unattended Install Contains Bad Entries for SOA Admin UI on Windows (73363)

Symptom:

In the SOA installer property file created during install (SOA_HOME\install_config_info\ca-soasmr12-installer.properties), required double backslashes in pathnames in entries related to the SOA Admin UI are not present. For example, rather than the following expected entry:

DEFAULT_NETE_JAVA_HOME = E:\\ProgramFiles\\Java\\jdk1.5.0_01

The following incorrect entry is written in the file:

DEFAULT_NETE_JAVA_HOME has value E:ProgramFilesJavajdk1.5.0_01

Solution:

This is no longer an issue.

International Support

An internationalized product is an English product that runs correctly on local language versions of the required operating system and required third-party products, and supports local language data for input and output. Internationalized products also support the ability to specify local language conventions for date, time, currency and number formats. CA SiteMinder WSS is an internationalized product.

A translated product (sometimes referred to as a localized product) is an internationalized product that includes local language support for the product user interface, online help and other documentation, and local language default settings for date, time, currency, and number formats. CA SiteMinder WSS is not a translated product.
