Information on downloading IBM Tivoli Monitoring Version 6.3.0 Fix Pack 7 service pack 14:
IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.3.0 Fix Pack 7 service pack 14 (6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-SP0014)
Prerequisites and corequisites
The service pack can be applied to an existing IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.3.0 Fix Pack 7 or 6.3.0 Fix Pack 7 with service pack installation. 6.3.0 Fix Pack 7 is available as both a pristine and upgrade installation:
IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.3.0 Fix Pack 7 (6.3.0-TIV-ITM-FP0007)
The System Monitoring Agents can be installed pristine, or over any existing System Monitoring Agent installation.
-
After upgrading the Monitoring Server or Warehouse Poxy Agent installation to 6.3.0.7 SP0014, agents in GSKit 7 based installations can no longer connect. See the following bulletin for details and workaround:
-
If you've configured your environment to comply with FIPS requirements by setting:
KDEBE_FIPS_MODE_ENABLED=SP800-131a
please review the following document before deciding to install SP14:
TLS 1.3 Connections using FIPS fail : GSK_ERROR_UNSUPPORTED
-
For Windows TEPS installations, a problem exists where the help server port value will be corrupted on an upgrade to ITM 6.30fp7 Service Pack 14. This will result in not being able to open help when selecting "Help" from the TEP Client application.
Resolution:
Before the upgrade to Service Pack 14 (SP14). Take note of the current help server port value by going to the Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services console, right clicking on "Eclipse Help Server" and selecting "Reconfigure".
The default value for the help server port is 9999, but may have been changed based upon the local installation.Continue the SP14 upgrade as normal. For best results at avoiding this issue, run the SP14 upgrade from the CANDLE_HOME drive.
After the SP14 upgrade has completed, test if help is able to be opened from the TEPS console. If it is not, the problem can be corrected by going to the Manage Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Services console, right clicking on "Eclipse Help Server" and selecting "Reconfigure".
A corrupted value of two double quotes may be in the entry field.
Replace this value with the help server port number that was recorded earlier. Do not enclose the numeric port value in quotes.
Select OK.
Restart both the TEPS and the Help Server.(See note regarding port change) - The Tivoli Enterprise Client (TEP) component previously supported 3 separate deployment modes: desktop, browser, and Java Web Start. The browser client is implemented using Java applet technology, which is dependent on support in the browser for a plug-in API called NPAPI (Netscape Plugin API). Over the last decade, modern browser vendors have been restricting, reducing, and, more recently, removing support for plug-in technology such as Flash, Silverlight, and Java. As of 2022, the only major browser vendor that still supports the NPAPI is Microsoft and the Internet Explorer (IE) v11 browser. Microsoft's™ replacement for IE v11 is their Edge browser, which does not support Java applets. Browsers from Google (Chrome), Mozilla (Firefox), and Apple (Safari) dropped support for Java applets several years ago.
Microsoft has announced an End-Of-Life (EOL) cycle for the IE v11 browser. The details are provided in the following document:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/faq/internet-explorer-microsoft-edge#what-is-the-lifecycle-policy-for-internet-explorer-
Of specific interest to ITM customers is that Microsoft Windows 10 (and, by extension, later versions of Windows for the desktop) will no longer support IE v11 as of June 15, 2022. Since IE v11 is the only remaining browser from a major vendor that still supports the execution of Java applets, once this browser is no longer supported by Microsoft, IBM will no longer be able to adequately support the use of the TEP browser client deployment with ITM.
Removal in IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.3.0 Fix Pack 7 Service Pack 14:
With this service pack, the TEP browser client deployment will no longer be supported. Attempts to launch the TEP browser client will fail. All ITM customers must migrate their TEP client deployment to either Java Web Start or the desktop. The previous browser interface would allow for downloading an IBM JRE to use with the browser or webstart client. You can still access the IBM JRE via direct download links as follows:
https://<teps_hostname>:15201/java/ibm-java8.exe (32 bit Windows JRE) https://<teps_hostname>:15201/java/ibm-java8_64.exe (64 bit Windows JRE) https://<teps_hostname>:15201/java/ibm-java8.rpm (32 bit Linux x86/x86_64 installable rpm) https://<teps_hostname>:15201/java/ibm-java8_64.rpm (64 bit Linux x86_64 installable rpm) https://<teps_hostname>:15201/java/ibm-java8.tgz (32 bit Linux x86/x86_64 gzip compressed tar file) https://<teps_hostname>:15201/java/ibm-java8_64.tgz (64 bit Linux x86_64 gzip compressed tar file) - Remote deploy of agents to Windows systems may require service pack 6 or later to be installed directly as per APAR IJ37912. These changes were made to address the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable update and possible component incompatibility issues.
- Since service pack 6 the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable (runtimes) used for IBM Tivoli Monitoring for both 32 and 64 bit components on Windows, were updated from VC++ 7.1 (32-bit) and VC++ 9.0 (64-bit). They have been updated to VC++ 12.0 (both 32 and 64 bit). The installation automatically installs the correct runtime if it's not installed. However, the service pack only includes the components included with the IBM Tivoli Monitoring platform as listed in the Components of the monitoring architecture in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Installation guide. Other IBM Tivoli Monitoring agents (
ITM6.x Product codes) are still to be rebuilt and updated to the newer runtimes. They might not work correctly when the service pack is applied on the same windows systems as those agents. Check the Agent compatibility with IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.3.0 Fix Pack 7 service pack 6 document before applying this service pack. - Remote deployment installs (createnode, updateagent) can fail for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 releases. Ensure you have the latest available ksh rpm for your system if remote deployment fails and try again, or try local installation.
- Latest Java 7.1 included in this and subsequent service packs, disables TLS 1.0 and 1.1 by default but currently does not enable TLS 1.2 by default. To remedy this, from the IBM Java Control panel, "C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\Java71\jre\bin\javacpl.exe" select the:
Advanced tab -> “Advanced Security Settings”
and verify that “Use TLS 1.2” is enabled. - Known limitations
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and 9 for IBM System z no longer supports 31-bit applications which prevents the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server (
TEPSor cq) component on original IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.3.0 Fix Pack 7 media from being installed on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 or 9 for IBM System z. This service pack provides updates to allowTEPSinstallation by following the steps listed here Updating 630 Fix Pack 7 pristine...
Installation information
Before installation
Before you proceed with the installation process, make note of these important points:
- Assign CANDLEHOME environment variable (UNIX or Linux only)
Before you begin installing this service pack on UNIX or Linux systems, make sure that the
environment variable $CANDLEHOME is set to the IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation directory.
Note: The directory /opt/IBM/ITM is the default installation directory.
For example:
> CANDLEHOME=/opt/IBM/ITM
> export CANDLEHOME
- Transfer the appropriate archive file:
6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-Linux-SP0014.tar.gz - IBM Tivoli Monitoring Base and Base Agents for all supported Linux platforms
6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-Tools-SP0014.tar.gz - IBM Tivoli Monitoring Tools
6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-Unix-SP0014.tar.gz - IBM Tivoli Monitoring Base and Base Agents for all supported UNIX platforms
6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-Windows-SP0014.zip - IBM Tivoli Monitoring Base and Base Agents for all supported Windows platforms
to a temporary directory on the system that contains the code to be updated. For the purpose of this readme file,
the symbol <TEMP> represents the fully qualified path to this directory.
Note: On Windows the fully qualified path includes the drive letter.
Expand the archive file by use of the tar command on UNIX or Linux systems or
an unzip utility on Windows systems. Expanding the archive file creates a directory
structure that contains fixes for all of the supported platforms. - As a best practice, it is recommended that all running IBM Tivoli Monitoring processes be stopped manually before doing an upgrade from a previous version or maintenance level to this service pack level. For systems with
TEMSorTEPSinstalled, the service pack installer does not allow installation until theTEMSandTEPSare stopped. While the upgrade installer does attempt to stop all other running processes, there are times when a running process fails to stop and that can lead to unexpected upgrade failures if the upgrade is allowed to continue. If any process fails to stop during a manual shutdown, restart the system before proceeding with the upgrade. - Before upgrading, execute the cinfo or KinCInfo command per the instructions in the section entitled Validating what you installed. After the install completes, this will help in validating the installation. Once you complete the install, continue with the next section entitled Performing the necessary tasks after installation.
- The following information applies to users upgrading on UNIX or Linux using a non-root userid for the management server, portal server or any
ITMor ITCAM agent. You can use any non-root userid so long as that userid is already created. You must use the same userid as was used for the original installation, or the root userid. These steps specify using the itmuser userid and itmgrp group and that the userid and group must already be created.
1. Perform the management server, portal server,ITMor ITCAM agent upgrade as user itmuser.
2. After the installation completes, run "SetPerm -a" as user root.
3. When updating the management server:
1. If Management server security was enabled, run "SetPerm -s" as user root to re-enable management server security.
2. Add application support to the hub management server.
4. When updating the portal server:
1. Configure the portal server as user root (this step runs InstallPresentation and adds application support on the portal server).
2. Execute the following command as user root to change the ownership of all files in $CANDLEHOME to user itmuser and group itmgrp:
chown -Rf itmuser:itmgrp $CANDLEHOME
3. Run "SetPerm -a" as root user again
5. Start the management server, portal server,ITMor ITCAM agent as user itmuser.
- The following information applies to users upgrading on Windows systems.
Ensure you are logged on locally to the Windows machine with a userid that has administrator rights. - The following are recommended steps to facilitate recovery of the Tivoli Enterprise Management Server (
TEMS) or the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server (TEPS) in the case where problems are encountered during the installation of this service pack.Management Server
-
Run the pdcollect utility to gather all of the current logs and environment files. These backups can be used for reference, if needed, after the upgrade. The "tacmd pdcollect -help" command can be issued to obtain the syntax for the pdcollect utility.
Portal Server
-
Run the migrate-export.bat (Windows) or migrate-export.sh (UNIX or Linux) to backup the contents of the portal server database. This snapshot will allow for recovery of the database back to the point before installing this service pack maintenance.
-
Run the pdcollect utility to gather all of the current logs and environment files. These backups can be used for reference, if needed, after the upgrade. The "tacmd pdcollect -help" command can be issued to obtain the syntax for the pdcollect utility.

Performing the necessary tasks after installation
Uplifting the WebSphere Application and IBM HTTP servers for a TEPS system if installation and post install processing ran without error.
Important Notes:
- If the
TEPSsystem has been updated to WebSphere/HTTP v8.5.5.x by a previous service pack installation, you do not update it again. Additional updates for the IBM Tivoli Monitoring WebSphere Application and IBM HTTP Server are provided as update patches. - Before applying the WebSphere® update, confirm that your environment supports v8.5.5 (See System Requirements for WebSphere Application Server v8.5.5).
- You must install this package with the same userid that you originally used to install the portal server. If you are unsure of the userid, it is the owner of the portal server directory:
ls -ald <CANDLEHOME>/*/cq
- Back up the <CANDLEHOME> directory
- Use your local procedures to stop the portal server and the Eclipse help server
- Perform the uplift:
Linux:
cd <TEMP>/6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-Linux-SP0014
$CANDLEHOME/bin/wasihs855uplift.sh -h $CANDLEHOME -i `pwd`
AIX:
cd <TEMP>/6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-Unix-SP0014
$CANDLEHOME/bin/wasihs855uplift.sh -h $CANDLEHOME -i `pwd`
Windows:
cd <TEMP>\6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-Windows-SP0014
wasihs855uplift -h %CANDLE_HOME% -i %cd% - At the time this service pack was released, the latest available WAS/IHS update patch is 8.55.21.03.
- Use your local procedures to restart the portal server
- Since the service pack updates browser/webstart client jars all TEP client users should clear the cache to ensure the latest jars are in use. You can clear your cache as documented Clearing the JAR cache. Note that the preferred way to launch the TEP client is using Java WebStart as the browser client is no longer supported by modern browsers.
Upgrading the Help Server for a TEPS system to the IBM Knowledge Center Help Server if installation and post install processing ran without error.
Important Notes:
- If the
TEPSsystem has been updated to WebSphere/HTTP v8.5.5.x by a previous service pack installation, you do not need to update it again. - If the
TEPSsystem has been updated to the IBM Knowledge Center Help Server by a previous service pack installation, you do not need to upgrade it again. - Before applying the Help Server upgrade to the IBM Knowledge Center Help Server, confirm that the TEPS system has been updated to WebSphere/HTTP v8.5.5.x.
- You must install this package with the same userid that you originally used to install the portal server. If you are unsure of the userid, it is the owner of the portal server directory:
ls -ald <CANDLEHOME>/*/cq
- Back up the <CANDLEHOME> directory
- Use your local procedures to stop the portal server and the Eclipse help server
- Perform the upgrade:
AIX or Linux:
$CANDLEHOME/bin/kcci20uplift.sh -h $CANDLEHOME
Windows:
kcci20uplift -h %CANDLE_HOME% - Use your local procedures to restart the portal server
Note: After upgrading the Help Server to IBM Knowledge Center Help Server, any time the Help Server is reconfigured to change the port kcci20rebuild must be run so that the Help Server will start with the changed port. By default KCCI uses the following ports, 9999(http) and 9444(https).
Restart both the TEPS and the Help Server.
Validating what you installed
You can validate your installation by running the KinCInfo command on Windows systems or the cinfo command on Linux or UNIX systems. If you run these commands before and after the upgrade, you can clearly see the component versions that have changed.
For service pack fixes, only components that are updated during this release have the latest listed level. Note that the version number can be different across components depending on the level of maintenance included. If a component has not been updated, the command reports the GA version. There is no need to upgrade this component if your system is at the listed level, the install programs automatically handle this.
Note: The KinCInfo and cinfo command output examples in the sections that follow show all service pack components that can be updated (highlighted). If you do not have all of these components installed, then components not installed are not displayed in the output of these commands.
Note: The version(s) for iu (IBM HTTP Server) and iw (IBM Websphere Application Server) reflect the latest available updated patch at the time this readme was published (8.55.21.03). You can search IBM downloads for the latest upgrade patch.
Note: The "(Service pack 14)" indication is only applied if you install locally by using spinst(spinst.bat) as documented under Installing the service pack. The indicator will not be applied for remote deploy (tacmd addsystem, tacmd updateagent, tacmd updateframework).
The following example shows the output of the KinCInfo -t command on a Windows server.

- Transfer the appropriate archive file (6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-<PLATFORM>-SP0014.tar.gz or .zip) to a temporary directory on the system that contains the code to be updated. For the purpose of this readme file, the symbol <TEMP> represents the fully qualified path to this directory. Note: On Windows, this includes the drive letter.
- Expand the archive file using the tar command on UNIX systems or an unzip utility on Windows systems. This creates a directory structure that contains fixes for all of the supported platforms.
- Add the deploy components to the
TEMSDepot by executing the following command
For Linux packages (lz, r#, tf and ue)
cd <TEMP>/6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-Linux-SP0014/bundles/unix
For UNIX (r#, tf, ue and ux)
cd <TEMP>/6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-Unix-SP0014/bundles/unix
For Windows packages (nt, r#, tf and ue)
cd <TEMP>/6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-Windows-SP0014/bundles/WINDOWS/Deploy
To load all components to your depot run the following command once each for UNIX or Linux and then Windows components:
For UNIX or Linux:
$CANDLEHOME/bin/tacmd addbundles -i .
For Windows:
tacmd addbundles -i .
Or you can load only those bundles you want using one or more of the Product codes from the components listed
tacmd addbundles -i . [-t] [<pc>] [<pc> ...]
i.e.
tacmd addbundles -i . -t lz tf
Make note of the deployable component versions as you add the bundles and then use either the updateAgent
or updateFramework commands to remotely deploy.
Pristine installation images for OS agents
The steps are as outlined at this link:
Separating the downloaded ITM/ITCAM media image into smaller agent/platform bundles
Note: point to <TEMP>/6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-Linux-SP0014/bundles/unix or <TEMP>/6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-Unix-SP0014/bundles/unix
or <TEMP>/6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-Windows-SP0014/bundles/WINDOWS/Deploy
for the media path per the steps in link.
Updating 630 Fix Pack 7 pristine installation media for new platform support (as listed in New Features)
For all new platforms listed you can install from 630 Fix Pack 7 media but the prerequisite scan will report errors. So long as the errors are just OS Version failure, ITM 630 Fix Pack 7 will install and configure correctly with the following exceptions:
- Solaris 11.4 UNIX OS monitoring agent needs to be installed from service pack 3 or later
- The Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server (CQ) on Linux for System z cannot be installed unless libstdc++.so.5 (compat-libstdc++-33.x on RHEL or libstdc++33.x on SUSE) is also installed. However, since libstdc++.so.5 has been deprecated, newer versions of both RHEL and SUSE no longer provide libstdc++.so.5. You can patch your IBM Tivoli Monitoring 6.3.0 Fix Pack 7 Base Linux on System z media to allow for Tivoli Enterprise Portal installation on these newer RHEL and SUSE versions.
The service pack provides a mechanism to patch Pristine installation 6.3.0 Fix Pack 7 install images so that you can get the latest prerequisite scanner definitions as well as patching the IBM Tivoli Monitoring V6.3.0.7 Base, Linux on System z® media so that you can install the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server on newer OS versions on Linux for System z (See install steps below). In all cases after doing a pristine installation from patched 630 Fix Pack 7, you would still need to additionally apply the service pack. Also if you patch windows media, due to the update to Visual C++ runtimes, you must also apply the service pack after doing a pristine installation from patched 630 Fix Pack 7 media.
To patch 6.3.0 Fix Pack 7 media, you need an extracted image in a writable location or point to a new, writable, location in case your source image is read-only. To patch your media:
Linux:
<TEMP>/6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-Linux-SP0014/mediaupdate
UNIX:
<TEMP>/6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-Unix-SP0014/mediaupdate
Windows:
<TEMP>/6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-Windows-SP0014/mediaupdate.bat
To patch the installation media:
mediaupdate -h media_dir [-w write_dir] [-r]
where: -h media_dir full path of the original CD image or expanded
media directory.
-w write_dir is optional and is full path of the modified CD image directory.
it's only required if media_dir is not a writable directory.
-r is optional and restores updated media to original contents if you want to undo patching of the extracted installation media
Per the usage you must specify the location of a 6.3.0 Fix Pack 7 extracted install image (pristine) and the script copies over the updated install, prerequisite checking and for base Linux for System z the TEPS and teps install manager files needed to then use the modified pristine image to do a fresh install of your target OS (all supported components). Again, after installation using the updated media, then immediately apply SP14
for example
Linux:
<TEMP>/6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-Linux-SP0014/mediaupdate -h /tmp/6307media/agents
<TEMP>/6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-Linux-SP0014/mediaupdate -h /tmp/6307media/base_zlinux
UNIX:
<TEMP>/6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-Unix-SP0014/mediaupdate -h /tmp/6307media/agents
Windows:
<TEMP>/6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-Windows-SP0014/mediaupdate.bat -h c:\temp\6307media\agents
To install Tivoli Enterprise Portal on Linux for System z for newer OS versions after patching Base Linux for System z install media:
- Run the install for the Tivoli Enterprise Portal from the patched media
- Immediately apply this service pack per the installation instructions
- Configure the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server (cq) component before continuing with the service pack "Perform the necessary tasks after installation"
<br><br>
Additional installation updates
New utility for securing Windows installations
The service pack installation provides a new command on Windows:
%CANDLE_HOME%\InstallITM\securemain.cmd
An administrator can use the command to limit the permissions non-admin users have on the C:\IBM\ITM (%CANDLE_HOME%) folder.
To set security permissions limiting non administrators users from creating files or folders, use the following command:
secureMain lock
To remove security settings use the following command:
secureMain unlock
Command syntax can be viewed with the following syntax:
secureMain -?
The secureMain commands use the following syntax:
secureMain [-h install_dir] [-g SID] [-d folder] lock
secureMain [-h install_dir] [-g SID] unlock
where variables are defined as follows:
install_dir is the directory path for the IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation.
If this parameter is not supplied, the script attempts to determine the installation directory.
SID is the Windows Security Identifier. The default SID used is S-1-5-11.
folder is an additional folder to set admin rights for. This is used when factory agents create an additional folder under the installation directory.
SID values are the user and group identifiers used by Windows when setting file security. The following links provide additional information on SIDs.
List of commonly used SIDs:
Command line syntax for listing SID values of accounts defined on the system:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/wmisdk/wmic
Example usage: "wmic useraccount get name,sid"
Previously provided security updates are included in this service Pack for APARs IV94417 and IV96017. They are to be installed separately as needed. See the following files for details:
<TEMP>/6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-<PLATFORM>-SP0014/updates/6.3.0-TIV-ITM-FP0007-IV94417.README
and
<TEMP>/6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-<PLATFORM>-SP0014/updates/6.3.0-TIV-ITM-FP0007-IV96017.README
Also included is a fix for APAR IV88904 which applies to the
ITM OS Dashboards. See the following file for details: <TEMP>/6.3.0.7-TIV-ITM-<PLATFORM>-SP0014/updates/README-Provisional-IV88904.txt

List of fixes
| IBM Monitoring Agent for Unix OS APARs | |
|---|---|
| IJ44353 | The Monitoring Agent for UNIX OS 6.30 FP7 SP13 introduced a new feature to be able to monitor log files. A file, $CANDLEHOME/<interp>/lz/lib/libkfossh-gsk8.a, was inadvertently added. This secureMain does not lock down this directory as it is "lz" instead of "ux". |
| IJ44934 | On UNIX, the agent sometimes crashes when collecting data for the AIX Network Adapters attribute group. A core file is generated, however it was obsereved that Watchdog detected the crash and restarted the monitoring agent. |
| IBM Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Installation APARs | |
| IJ27215 | When upgrading a TEPS installation as a non-root user, running wasihs855uplift.sh fails leaving the environment partially uplifted. Once the WAS and IHS components are in this state, WAS uplifted to 8.55.16 and IHS not uplifted, no further recovery action is possible without restoreing the installation from a prior back-up. Any attempted recovery action without performing a restore, will cause the post-configuration jar file, WAS_IHS_855_Config.jar, to configure the WAS and IHS component incorrectly. |
| IJ42486 | Uplift Java Runtime Environment |
| IJ44319 | Not all ITM executables and shared libraries are MS Authenticode signed. |
| IBM Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server APARs | |
| IJ41619 | A TEMS becomes unresponsive and agents go off-line |
| IJ42304 | During an event storm in OMNIbus, tens of thousands of ITM events were deleted at the same time which resulted in the object server locking up for several hours. In the aggregate object server log file there were tens of thousands of "full table scan" messages for the table alerts.ibm_cleared_event_cache. Triggers that update this table are shipped by the Situation Update Forwarder (SUF) in the itm_event_cache.sql file. See Install Actions section in the Problem Conclusion for additional installation steps required. |
| IJ43728 | apache http client displays OpLog message to tepslogin user. |
| IJ44324 | The Hub's EIB log is the device used by the Sitmon component of an RTEMS to keep the local database in sync with the Hub's. The EIB log is also used to send commands to the Sitmon component at any TEMS, including the Hub's. If no EIB log updates are received by Sitmon for a prolonged period, Sitmon assumes that the connection to the Hub has been lost. It therefore recreates the EIB log request to the Hub and initiates another database resynchronisation. The problem is that after dropping the EIB Log request, the Hub's Sitmon was not recreating the request. As a result, the Hub's Sitmon would not 'hear' requests to stop or start Situations or to promote itself to the Primary Hub. |
| IJ44999 | SP13 changed the operation of authentication on AIX so that PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules), could be exploited. If PAM is enabled on a server, a Hub TEMS can be configured to use it by setting KDS_VALIDATE_EXT to Y. But the code also changed the authentication behaviour when KDS_VALIDATE_EXT is set to N, (the default setting), by causing the code to call the 'loginrestrictions' API to verify that the user account is authorised to perform a remote login; i.e. the rlogin attribute is "true"; (prior to SP13, this check was performed only when KDS_VALIDATE_EXT was set to Y). Consequently, after SP13 is applied, for sites where KDS_VALIDATE_EXT is set to N, the authentication of a user will fail if the rlogin attribute in their user account is "false". |
| IBM Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server APARs | |
| IJ44477 | A TADDM Discovery that utilises ITM to retrieve metrics from agents relies on KT1 to send SOAP requests from TEPS to the Hub TEMS. In SP11, KT1 was modified to exploit the session IDs that the Hub SOAP server returns in order to accommodate MFA. However, the structures that KT1 uses to cache session IDs are only initialised if KT1 is invoked through tacmd; when invoked by TEPS, the structures aren't uninitialised and so an access violation occurs when they're accessed. |
