SAP IDM 8 TLS 1.2 support

[former_member1157899]

Hello everyone,

My JVM is 6.1 patch 096. According to note 0002417205 support for TLS 1.0 to 1.2 is available and working since JVM 6.1 patch 093.

My SERVERCORE component is 7.31 so it should support TLS1.0 to 1.2 communications according to note 2284059.

My questions are the following:

Will I have to change any kind of configuration for IdM to properly work if support for TLS 1.0 is ended? My outgoing connections use standard SAP provided scripts with ABAP, HANA and JAVA environments. I have not modified any of the java libraries for these connections.

If an upgrade to JVM 8 is mandatory, will this break my current installation of IDM? Will any of the standard scripts cease to work? Will I have to upgrade our kernel from 7.31 to 7.50?

I'm using Eclipse Oxygen.2 Release (4.7.2). Will this keep working and display IdM properly?

Please, if there's anything I missed. Let me know and I'll provide it.

Hi Marcos,

Which IdM version you are running on? I assume upgrading to JVM8 will have no impact to your IdM implementation, unless you are using some Java functions that are specific to JVM6 and below.

TLS1.0 or 1.2 are using for HTTP type of communication. It has no impact to the ABAP connection. You need to test the Java and HANA connection, as well as your eclipse connection.

Cheers

Hi Chenyang, thanks for the answer.

My IdM version is 8.0.

I'm glad that ABAP connections won't break. Is there something specific that happens with JVM 8 that I'll have to check the HANA and Java connections?

Also

-Is there a version of eclipse that's guaranteed to work if I upgrade to JVM 8? Or is this a trial and error thing?

-Is JVM 8 supporting all of the JVM 6 connections, tasks and activities or was something dropped or changed? We are not using any specific configuration on our NW to run IdM. I understand that note 2514308 is mentioning that we can have an installation of JVM 8 and components will keep working. But will an upgrade of our NW 7.31 SP22 be necessary to support JVM 8?
