RSA Authentication Manager 8.2 issues corrected?

Jump to solution

All,

Have the RSA Authentication Manager 8.2 technical issues been corrected?  Looking at the Advisories and Notes for 6/26/2016, RSA suspended downloads of 8.2.  However, on 7/5/2016 the same RSA websites reads "RSA, The Security Division of EMC is Proud to Announce the Availability of RSA Authentication Manager 8.2". So, are the technical issues with 8.2 corrected?

 

Thank you,

 

T.J.

Yes.

short answer is the problem with the original 8.2 affected customers who had performed a SQL command to allow then to run reports that linked LDAP user names to tokens.  So the original problem did not affect all AM 8.1 upgrades, but if you were affected it crashed your AM server, so they pulled the patch.  The lack of explanation left a lot of worried users, but if you successfully upgraded to AM 8.2 with the original, then you were not affected.

Anyways it's available now, in both patch upgrade and new .ova deployment file

RSA said they stopped allowing the 8.2 downloads while it was being fixed and then I received an email that the installer is available again.

I'd say better to wait for P1

I would tend to agree with waiting until P1 as any fixes or features introduced after AM8.1 SP1 P12 are NOT included in the 8.2 deployment.
