Steps
This section provides instructions on how to update WebSphere Liberty Profile used in InfoSphere Identity Insight (II) to WLP 24.0.0.6.
- Download wlp-base-all-24.0.0.6.jar from Fix Central.
- Stop Liberty Server
Windows
<ii_install_dir>\bin\stopIIServer.bat
Linux/AIX
<ii_install_dir>/bin/stopIIServer
- Backup the wlp directory in the <ii_install_dir> by renaming it.
- Find out what version of the current wlp in <ii_install_dir> by viewing <ii_install_dir>/wlp/usr/servers/iiServer/logs/messages.log. The wlp version is shown at the beginning of the file.
- Rename the wlp directory to wlp_<version>, substitute <version> with the version number of the current wlp.
Windows
move <ii_install_dir>\wlp <ii_install_dir>\wlp_<version>
Linux/AIX
mv <ii_install_dir>/wlp <ii_install_dir>/wlp_<version>
- Extract wlp-base-all-24.0.0.6 JAR file into Identity Insight Installation directory (<ii_install_dir>).
java -jar wlp-base-all-24.0.0.6.jar --acceptLicense <ii_install_dir>
- Copy Liberty Server configuration files to the newly installed WLP directory.
Windows
xcopy /S /I <ii_install_dir>\wlp_<version>\usr\servers\iiServer <ii_install_dir>\wlp\usr\servers\iiServer
Linux/AIX
cp -rp <ii_install_dir>/wlp_<version>/usr/servers/iiServer <ii_install_dir>/wlp/usr/servers/iiServer
- Remove 'workarea' and 'tranlog' directories from the newly installed WLP directory.
Windows
rd /s /q <ii_install_dir>\wlp\usr\servers\iiServer\workarea
rd /s /q <ii_install_dir>\wlp\usr\servers\iiServer\tranlog
Linux/AIX
rm -fr <ii_install_dir>/wlp/usr/servers/iiServer/workarea
rm -fr <ii_install_dir>/wlp/usr/servers/iiServer/tranlog
- Verify the updated WLP is used in Identity Insight.
- Start Libertyy Server
Windows
<ii_install_dir>\bin\startIIServer.bat
Linux/AIX
<ii_install_dir>/bin/startIIServer - Check the WLP version number logged in <ii_install_dir>/wlp/usr/servers/iiServer/logs/messages.log.

Disclaimer
According to the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is an "industry open standard designed to convey vulnerability severity and help to determine urgency and priority of response." IBM PROVIDES THE CVSS SCORES ""AS IS"" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CUSTOMERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL SECURITY VULNERABILITY. In addition to other efforts to address potential vulnerabilities, IBM periodically updates the record of components contained in our product offerings. As part of that effort, if IBM identifies previously unidentified packages in a product/service inventory, we address relevant vulnerabilities regardless of CVE date. Inclusion of an older CVEID does not demonstrate that the referenced product has been used by IBM since that date, nor that IBM was aware of a vulnerability as of that date. We are making clients aware of relevant vulnerabilities as we become aware of them. "Affected Products and Versions" referenced in IBM Security Bulletins are intended to be only products and versions that are supported by IBM and have not passed their end-of-support or warranty date. Thus, failure to reference unsupported or extended-support products and versions in this Security Bulletin does not constitute a determination by IBM that they are unaffected by the vulnerability. Reference to one or more unsupported versions in this Security Bulletin shall not create an obligation for IBM to provide fixes for any unsupported or extended-support products or versions.
