| 604453 |
The problem of CMS Installation Wizard prompting
for a password for the hardware cryptographic token, with its own keypad
for entering PINs, has been fixed. If you use a hardware token for CMS
keys and certificates, you no longer get prompted for a password in the
last screen of the Installation Wizard, and you are able to complete the
installation successfully. |

In the CMS Console, changing the default certificate-signing
algorithm from MD5RSA to SHA1RSA or MD2RSA resulted in an error. This
problem has been fixed. |

In the CMS Installation Wizard and Certificate
Setup Wizard, you can now set validity periods for certificates up to the
year 2037; in the previous version, you could select up to the year 2032
as the validity period. The reason for not being able to select validity periods beyond year 2037 is that POSIX timestamps used in most UNIX systems are 32-bit signed integers. This results in an available period of 2^31 seconds or about 68 years. The epoch is 1970-01-01 00:00:00, so the counter will overflow sometime in January 2038. |

The CMS Customization Guide now covers
the changes made to the HTTP interface of the product. |

A new parameter defined in the CMS configuration file enables you to connect two certificate repositories by manually editing the value assigned to the parameter. To join two certificate repositories:
You now have two cloned CAs, each with its own request queue, but sharing a common certificate repository.
