[New IBM Tivoli Monitoring Related Section: Java Expired Certificates]
Java Expired Certificates.
As of 06 June 2021, you can find that you are no longer able to launch the Tivoli Enterprise Portal console.
It is a result of some expired certificates within the set of classes files used to launch the Tivoli Enterprise Portal console.
We have an automated process that can be used to resign the certificates for you; it requires only a zip/tar of the current set of classes files used. One caveat to note is that, if application supports are installed to the TEPS, you can experience this issue again; and we then need to resign all of the classes files again, by using the automated process. In order for us to resign your JAR file, we require a .zip or .tar of all of the *.jar AND .zip files in the classes directory on your Tivoli Enterprise Portal server host.
Follow these steps to create an archive named 'classes.tar' or 'classes.zip' and send it to support to process the resigning of the JAR file.
Go to the following location on your Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server
(1) UNIX/Linux
InstallDirectory/Architecture/cw/classes
Windows
%CANDLE_HOME%\CNB\classes
(2) Run the following command or use a GUI tool to create a tar or zip file containing all the *.jar and *.zip files only found in the classes directory...
tar cvf /tmp/classes.tar *.jar *.zip
(3) Open a new case to the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Support team requesting for a re-sign of your current files.
Upload the resulting archive file to Ecurep as-is (do not gzip or compress it further).
(4) Please use the following steps to implement the resigned files
(5) Unpack the zip/tar file with the resigned jar files into the classes directory
For UNIX/Linux
InstallDirectory>/Architecture/cw/classes
tar -xvf resigned.tar /opt/IBM/ITM/lx8266/cw/classes
For Windows
%CANDLE_HOME%\CNB\classes
— there is no need to restart the TEPS for this step
(6) Ensure that you clear the cache of the browser or Java Webstart client at the end users to ensure the latest resigned jar files are downloaded and used by the TEP clients. The next time you start the TEP console application the resigned jars will be used to launch the console See: https://www.ibm.com/mysupport/s/question/0D50z00005phlxL/how-can-i-clear-my-java-cache-on-my-tep-client-without-using-the-gui?language=en_US

[Preparing customer firewalls and proxies for the upcoming infrastructure changes]
New network connections between your machine and IBM servers.
Abstract: IBM is planning to implement infrastructure improvements to Call Home, Testcase Data Exchange and Secure File Transfer on 4th June 2022.
Both Public and Internal IP addresses will change for the IBM servers that electronically exchange test cases, configuration files, traces, dumps and other diagnostic information with customers.
Customers will experience uninterrupted service due to the change in IP addresses in June.
Both the current IP addresses and the new IP addresses will be accepted initially.
From August 31st 2022 only the new IP addresses will be accepted and so it is advised that new firewall rules and proxy updates are completed before that date.
