Technical Support Information:

Current Issues:

- When non-TSO users changed their passwords using TELNET on Top Secret release 12, the event incorrectly reported a password change for 'OMVSKERN' (or whichever ACID owns the OMVS STC) instead of the user.

Previous Issues since 3.5.1 - YOU MUST INSTALL THE PRIOR TOPSECRET PATCH TO GET THE FIXES LISTED BELOW.

- Fixed Error loading remote loader password files for certain combinations of passwords.

- Fixed IDMMODU improper handling of the FIRST field

- Fixed build date improperly displayed on operator STATUS command.

- Fixed "is-sensitive" elements not being suppressed in trace output.

- Fixed mishandling of unicode characters which could result in an ABEND or hung driver shim.

- Added BEFORE to the application schema [SAMPLIB(SCHEMDEF)].

- Changed IDMADDU and IDMMODU Rexx scripts to explicitly handle the PROFILE field along with FIRST/BEFORE/AFTER specifiers.

- Fixed IDMADDU and IDMMODU to execute multi-valued attributes in separate TSS commands, to respect operands with max capacity restrictions.

- Added an "Ordered List Mapping" schema transformation (XSLT) to translate the DirXML-TSS-PROFILE in eDirectory with the ordered PROFILE field in Top Secret. Translation of the FIRST, AFTER and BEFORE keywords are now performed accordingly.

- Adjusted memory management to more efficiently handle events with large amounts of data.

- Fixed IDMQUERY script to request NOREADATTRS when all the specified read-attr elements were not within the scope of SAF.

- Fixed network timeout that sometimes restarted the driver shim's connection with the IDM engine.

- Fixed network error that would sometimes occur when sending large amounts of data to the IDM engine. For example, during a large migration.


Previous Issues fixed between the 3.5.0 release and the 3.5.1 release

- Fixed problem with the publisher channel accessing changelog while subscriber is executing authorized TSO commands. This can cause the driver shim to hang.

- Fixed memory leak in the driver shim.

- Fixed IDMADDU script to handle the USING field properly.

- Fixed IDMADDU script to not specify TYPE(USER); instead accept the default.

- Fixed TopSecret.xml to default the Password Expiration Interval to 30 days.

- Fixed TopSecret.xml to properly transform the FOR field to an UNTIL field

- Fixed OC4 abend in SAFQUERY if SAF returns zero-length field.
