Web Express™ Logon (WEL)

When a HATS Web project is migrated to HATS V9.6 with no associated EAR, Web Express™ Logon (WEL) does not function properly. The WEL configuration information for a Web project is kept in its associated EAR project. If the associated EAR project is not imported and migrated then this information is lost.

If you import the Web and EAR projects as archive files into the workspace and migrate the Web project, the associated EAR project is also migrated and the WEL configuration information is not lost.

Starting with HATS V7, Java™ Secure Socket Extension (JSSE) is used by both the HATS DCAS/RACF/JDBC and certificate-based DCAS/RACF credential mapper plug-ins for secure connections to the DCAS server. As a result, consider the following changes to the plug-in initialization parameters.
CMPI_DCAS_KEYRING_FILE
This parameter is deprecated and should not be used. However, if used, it is supported in HATS V9.6 in conjunction with deprecated parameter, CMPI_DCAS_KEYRING_PASSWORD, and with the assumption that the keyring type is pkcs12. Use CMPI_DCAS_TRUSTSTORE instead. For more information see Initialization parameters.

This parameter specifies a keyring database. A keyring must be specified to provide access to the DCAS client certificate as well as the DCAS server's certificate. The certificates establish a client authenticated secure connection with the DCAS server. This parameter is a file reference to the keyring to be used. The DCAS plug-in is the DCAS client. The keyring file must be stored in the .ear file.

CMPI_DCAS_KEYRING_PASSWORD
This parameter is deprecated and should not be used. However if used, it is supported in HATS V9.6 in conjunction with deprecated parameter, CMPI_DCAS_KEYRING_FILE, and with the assumption that the keyring type is pkcs12. Use CMPI_DCAS_TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD instead. For more information see Initialization parameters.

This parameter specifies the password for the keyring database.
