Authentication Agent SDK 8.6 EOL and Java 11

[JonSeed]

Hello,

Does the RSA SecurID Authentication Agent SDK support Java 11?  If not, is there plans to support it in the future?

On a related note, will the SDK receive general updates/support moving forward? I noticed in another question's answer that the sdk was referred to as the "legacy" solution, not sure if this signifies that it is EOL, or if I am reading too much into the words.

Thanks

Hi Jon - per Product Version Life Cycle for RSA SecurID Access the End of Primary Support is:

RSA SecurID Authentication API for C and Java

8.6

Jun 2020

The upgrade path is the SecurID Authentication API mentioned in the other post you referenced.  

I don't know why it wouldn't work on Java 11 but it is not likely to be fully supported given that 8.6 documentation only shows support up to Java 8

Hope that helps,

Ted

Hi Jon,

The authentication SDKs will be deprecated in favor of the newer REST based APIs. The REST API provides much more flexibility with regards to language support and many other benefits. There are currently no plans to add support for new version of Java.

Instead, we would encourage you to generate a Java SKD for the new REST APIs using Swagger's Codegen tool and our YAML file.
