This section describes new enhancements introduced in MetaSolv Solution 6.2.0.
MetaSolv Solution 6.2.0 includes enhancements that were delivered in MetaSolv Solution 6.0.15 and 6.0.16 patches through the end of 2010. For more information, see the What's New documents for the 6.0.15 9970513 patch and the 6.0.16 9970498 patch.
This release provides support for updated operating systems and underlying software systems, including support for Linux. See "Software Support" for more information.
The following features enhance the security of MetaSolv Solution by implementing updated password and encryption standards.
The MetaSolv Solution application now restricts access to configuration files.
On UNIX systems, umask has been set to 0077 for the installer. As a result, the newly created files are given minimum permissions and only the owner can read, write, or execute these files.
On Windows systems, the system administrator must review the installation folders and restrict file permissions.
In MetaSolv Solution, the login password of the application server is now encrypted to enhance security.
When you install the application server, the session_password and jndi_password are encrypted in the [Session] and [JNDI] sections respectively in the Gateway.ini file.
After the application server is installed, you may opt to change the password. If you change the password for the application server, you must encrypt your new password, and then copy the encrypted password in the [Session] and the [JNDI] sections of the Gateway.ini file located in the MSLV_Home/server/appserver/gateway directory, where server is the name of the WebLogic server.
See MetaSolv Solution System Administrator's Guide for more information.
