Certificate System 8.0, although it does not ship with an ECC module, does support loading and using
third-party ECC PKCS#11 modules with the CA. The console can handle ECC-based SSL sessions, and
the server generates and supports ECC certificates.
1.6. Simplified Signed Audit Logging
Audit log signing certificates are now created with all of the other default subsystem certificates as soon
as a CA, DRM, OCSP, TKS, or T PS subsystem is configured. T he log is also already configured and can
be very easily enabled. Signed audit logs can be verified by auditors using the included AuditVerify
script.
1.7. New Windows Smart Card Login Profile for Tokens
A new example profile is included with the regular CA profiles list which enabled the CA and T PS to
issue certificates and enroll tokens that can be used to log into Windows systems.
1.8. Enhanced Security Officer Mode and Enterprise Security Client Configuration
Setting up and using security officer workstation has been improved and additional parameters have
been added to the esc-pref.js configuration file to make configuring the Enterprise Security Client
security officer settings easier and more flexible.
1.9. Expanded T PS Roles
A new role, the operator role has been added to the T PS subsystem. T his role can view and search all
tokens, certificates, and activities within the T oken Processing System (T PS) but cannot edit any entries.
Additionally, the administrator role interface has been enhanced to allow administrators to create and
edit users, assign profiles, and delete users directly.
1.10. Added IPv6 Support
The Certificate System 8.0 services can accept requests from all supported browsers, from other
Certificate System subsystems, and from the administrative console over IPv6. The server also supports
using IPv6 addresses in the Subject Alt Names of certificates, with certificate extensions, and with
Certificate System scripts and tools.
1.11. Using HTTP1.1 for Publishing CRLs
HTTP 1.1 has been added as a supported protocol to use to publish CRLs, in addition to publishing to
file and to LDAP. This makes publishing CRLs safer and more efficient, since "chunks" of CRLs can be
published rather the entire CRL. If CRL publishing is ever interrupted, the process can resume smoothly.
1.12. Enhanced Installation Scripts
Certificate System creates and configures additional instances using the pkicreate script. An
additional script, pkisilent, can be used to create and configure multiple subsystem instances quickly
and without unnecessary user interaction. Both of these scripts have been enhanced and strengthened
for changes to port separation, security domain configuration, and other updates to the structure of
Certificate System subsystems.
2. Important Configuration Changes
There have been some significant changes to the structure and configuration of the Certificate System
8.0 installation, which are not directly related to new features in Certificate System 8.0.
