Received the notification about an update for April 2018 that needs to be applied. I'm having trouble figuring out what we should apply if we are running software bundle with RSA supplied database on RHEL 6.x. All the RHEL references are for 5.x which is no longer supported.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks.
RSA only provides appliance updaters for the operating system that are distributed as part of hardware appliances. This is currently SLES 11 and SLES 12.
If you are running a software bundle the operating system is the onus of the customer. I would recommend you run zypper or yum to keep the operating system up to date with any security fixes available for that operating system.
In the past, the appliance updater has patched the oracle database for software only customers where an RSA supplied database is being used. Are you saying this is no longer the case?
We are handling the OS patches with our regular patching cycles so I'm not worried about that. I'm only concerned about the oracle database patches.
As per document, updater is required for local hosted database only with Soft Appliance.
Operating System RSA Appliance Soft Appliance
SUSE Enterprise Linux Server 11 SP3 Yes No
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Yes No
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 No No
Database
RSA Identity Governance and Lifecycle
Oracle 12.1.0.2 Enterprise Edition Database Yes Yes (local database only)
Database RSA IMG v6.9.1
Oracle 11.2.0.3 Enterprise Edition Database Yes Yes (local database only)
I am not sure, if you have enterprise edition database that comes with RSA IGL/IMG. Looks like, if you own the OS (RHEL 6.0) & Oracle data base was bundled with RSA IMG or IG&L then no updates required.
Have the same question... Updater pdf says - No updates for RHEL 6.x - Please confirm below information from the document
