obVer Attribute Changes

The obVer attribute identifies the current Oracle Access Manager release as one of several attributes in the class description of many Oracle Access Manager schema objects. For example, the obVer attribute is part of oblixPanel, oblixConfig, oblixLocation, oblixMetaAttribute, oblixEnum, and OblixOrgPerson to name only a few.

Until release 10g (10.1.4.2.0), the obVer attribute was purely informational. However starting with release 10g (10.1.4.2.0), the obVer attribute in the oblixOrgPerson class is used by the Identity and Access Servers to indicate the encoding of multiple challenge phrase and response attributes for lost password management.
