What's New

This release contains the following new features and enhancements:

• Configuration Server (CS) now supports optional HTTP port and exposes all currently supported metrics (available via log stat file) represented in the output. The output can be obtained via a GET command from the endpoint in Prometheus metrics format. For information on the “statistics log file” feature, refer to the section Statistical logging in the Management Framework Deployment Guide (MFWK-24051).

Resolved Issues

This release contains the following resolved issues:

---

CS now uses OAEP padding when encrypting the configuration database password that is stored in the CS startup configuration file of the master Configuration Server. Previously, CS used the PKCS 1 padding instead of OAEP. This change enhances the security in storing the password by eliminating the known vulnerability of PKCS 1 padding. You can use the existing configuration files containing passwords, encrypted with PKCS 1, with no changes. You can update the configuration files to re-encrypt the password using OAEP. For information on how to do this, refer to the section Encrypting the Configuration Database Password of the Management Framework Deployment Guide.

The new startup option in the configuration file Configuration Server Section is automatically created when CS is forced to encrypt the database password.
