EJBCA 6.11.1 Release Notes

The PrimeKey EJBCA team is pleased to announce the minor release EJBCA 6.11.1.

Release Highlights:

For information on new features and implemented improvements, see the EJBCA 6.11 Release Notes.

This minor release does not involve any upgrade steps or notable database changes. Read the EJBCA 6.11 Upgrade Notes for important information about the release. For upgrade instructions and information on upgrade paths, see Upgrading EJBCA.

BouncyCastle Library Version Upgrade

We've upgraded the underlying BouncyCastle library version 1.59, which adds support for SHA3 signature algorithms.

Improved CMP Handling

The main feature of this release is a modification of how vendor certificates are handled in CMP. Previously we restricted CMP clients to enroll to the same subject DN and issuer as specified in the vendor certificate, while we now allow enrolling to a number of different certificates based on the same vendor certificate. The purpose of this change is to be able to use the same vendor certificate to enroll a device with several keys with different purposes.

Fixes and Improvements

We've fixed a few neat bugs, among which being a performance sink in the display of crypto tokens in the CA GUI, some minor issues related to EST and a case where a CA might incorrectly fail a CAA issuance check for some corner cases.

Change Log: Resolved Issues

For full details of fixed bugs and implemented features in EJBCA 6.11.0-6.11.1, refer to our JIRA Issue Tracker.
