Known Issues
==========================================================================
Solaris Platforms
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To avoid runtime library conflicts, applications using SKC are
required to use the stlport runtime library via
the -library=stlport4 compiler option. We hope to remove this
dependency as soon as possible.
The application must be compiled and linked with following
SunStudio compiler and linker options:
-library=stlport4 -R \$$ORIGIN -norunpath
Failure to add these option can cause a crash when loading
the SKC libraries.
Linux Platforms
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Linux platforms on which SELinux is enable will require the following
commands to be executed in order to set the correct context for the
files and allow the DLLs to be loaded.
From the directory containing the libp6com.so and libp6ltcore.so DLLs:
sudo chcon -t texrel_shlib_t libp6com.so
sudo chcon -t texrel_shlib_t libp6ltcore.so
sudo chcon -t texrel_shlib_t p6loader.so

Change Log
==========================================================================
- bugfix
+ feature addition
* improved/changed feature
! removed/depricated feature
1.2.0.13950
- Fixed interface leak in the p6IMempool component.
- Fixed minor issue in key store that prevented updating a Key's meta
data.
- Simple memory leak error in database layer fixed.
- Fixed the "deprecated conversion from string constant" compiler
warning in the ex-kmip1-1.cpp example.
- Passing back more Sqlite error codes from database layer.
- Fixed small bug in database component where an error code was being
over ridden by another function.
- KMIP Server properly generates a response with unique batch id from
the request if present.
- KMIP 1.3: KMIP server missing HTTP status line for HTTPS response,
now returns HTTP/1.0 200 OK as is required by the protocol.
- EC keys not being loaded properly from file or keystore.
- Several XML value equivalent of TTLV constants where done
improperly. All XML values have been verified.
- Fix an issue where the timeout value in conditional variables was
not calculated correctly on non-windows platforms.
- Fixed a problem with timeout not being calculated correct on
Solaris in the waitTimed() method of p6ICondvar
- Fixed interface leak in p6IKeystore::setKey()
? replaceChildAt XML node function was not in use and incorrectly
implemented has been depreciated and now does nothing.
+ New methods added to p6ITcpSecureSocket that allow the peer
certificate and certificate chain for the current SSL connection to
be retrieved. As well as method to provision
a keystore with the current connection remote root certificate.
+ Added support for Elliptic Curve keys and Suite B via customer
provided OpenSSL.
+ (KMIP 1.3) Provide experimental KMIP 1.3 functionality: streaming
crypto operations, Query extensions, Server to client Query
operation, and extension to the locate operation.
+ Allow an application to modify the KMIP protocol version in effect
after initialization. This way a client can default to a low
protocol version then execute discoverVersions() getting the
server's supported versions. Then the client can reset the KMIP
protocol to use on the existing TLS session.
+ KMIP users may want to cache symmetric keys obtained from KMIP into
our keystore. To be able to do this we need to be able to load a
key without a pre-defined IV.
+ Added a new runtime function named getCryptoProviderVersion() to
retrieve a string describing the version of underlying crypto
provider (eg. "OpenSSL 1.0.1g 7 Apr 2014"). Documenation can be
found in p6runtimeapi.h.
+ (KMIP 1.3) Added KMIP 1.3 streaming to all crypto functions
including Hash.
+ OpenSSL is not longer provided as part of the SKC Toolkit.
Customers must have OpenSSL pre-installed and functional in order
to use SKC. If OpenSSL is installed in a non-standard location on
*nix machines, then the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable must
be set and include the path where the OpenSSL DLLs are located.
This version of SKC is compatible with all OpenSSL versions 1.0.x.
* Renamed the P6SSF_METHOD_SSLV23 flag to P6SSF_METHOD_NEGOTIATE to
make it's intended action more obvious.
