2 What’s New and Improved in Oracle TSAM Plus 22c
Here’s an overview of the new features and enhancements that were recently added to TSAM Plus 22c.
AI-based Operations Assistant
The AI-based Operations Assistant responds to natural-language questions about how to use TSAM Plus, as well as questions related to the configuration and metrics data for the Tuxedo domains that TSAM Plus is monitoring. You can launch the Operations Assistant from the TSAM Plus Console main page by clicking the "Show Operations Assistant" button at the top right corner.
Enhanced Deployment Tools
This Oracle TSAM Plus release enhances deployment tools to provide more transparent and flexible deployment on Oracle Database and WebLogic Server.
Support OpenID Connect (OIDC) Authentication
Oracle TSAM Plus Manager 22c Support OpenID Connect(OIDC) authentication and role-based authorization. Customer can map a TSAM Plus user to a role in the Identity Provider(IdP), and the roles are mapped to the user group in TSAM Plus.
For more information about Configuring OIDC for Oracle TSAM Plus Manager with Keycloak and WebLogic, refer to Oracle® Tuxedo System and Applications Monitor Plus Configuration Guide.
The LDAP based authentication is not supported any more in this release.
Dedicated Listening Port for Data Server
In this release, TSAM Plus Manager uses a dedicated listening port for the Data Server. Previously, TSAM Plus Console and Data Server traffic used the same listening port; now their endpoint ports must be configured separately.
By default, the TSAM Plus Console endpoint uses one-way TLS, and the Data Server endpoint uses two-way TLS.
LMS must specify the Data Server port in its -l command-line option.
LMS now supports TLS
The Local Monitor Server (LMS) is an Oracle Tuxedo system server that connects to the Oracle TSAM Plus Manager to report configuration and monitoring metrics. Starting with Oracle Tuxedo 22c RP013, LMS supports TLS/HTTPS when connecting to Oracle TSAM Plus Manager. Refer to the Oracle TSAM Plus Deployment Guide for instructions on configuring LMS and the WebLogic Server domain to enable the TLS connection.
LMS now supports HTTP/HTTPS Proxy
Starting with Oracle Tuxedo 22c RP023, LMS honors the environment variables http_proxy, https_proxy, and no_proxy as the HTTP/HTTPS proxy configuration when connecting to the Oracle TSAM Plus Manager.
JMX Agent Security Enhancements
- JMX Agent enforces TLS by default. To disable TLS explicitly, set the environment variable TMJMX_ALLOW_NOTLS to "Y" before starting tlisten.
- Enhance utility jmxaaacfg command-line options to allow users to enter password interactively.
jmxaaacfg [-a add|modify|delete] [-u username] [-p password] [-f path/filename]
- add : jmxaaacfg -a add -u username -p password -f path/filename
- modify : jmxaaacfg -a modify -u username -p password -f path/filename
- delete : jmxaaacfg -a delete -u username -f path/filename
