Body
Hi All ,
Welcome to the IBM Netcool Operations Support newsletter for Q2/Q3 July 2018.
Important Note for TBSM Customers /End Users
On November 11, 2018, certificates that IBM used to sign Java applets provided with IBM Tivoli Business Service Manager 6.1.0
and IBM Tivoli Business Service Manager 6.1.1 expires.
Description:
When opening a IBM Tivoli Business Service Manager 6.1.0 and 6.1.1 application with an associated Java applet , if the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) displays a certificate acceptance dialog, there will be an additional message on that dialog indicating that the certificate is still valid but has expired. Accept the warning and continue work in the application. It is only a warning. The JRE will not prevent the applet from executing.
These Interim Fixes include applet jars signed with a newly issued certificate.
IBM Tivoli Business Service Manager 6.1.0.4 Interim Fix 8(6.1.0.4-TIV-BSM-IF0008)
IBM Tivoli Business Service Manager 6.1.1.5 Interim Fix 6 (6.1.1.5-TIV-BSM-IF0006)
