Compatibility with single sign-on targets
IBM Security Verify Access maintains compatibility with earlier versions for all single sign-on information sent over HTTP to applications behind WebSEAL junctions. Applications that are written to use single sign-on information that is supplied by previous versions of the product can use the same information provided by v10.0.*. This compatibility applies to both custom applications and IBM applications such as the Trust Association Interceptor. The Trust Association interface is a service provider API that enables the integration of third-party security service (for example, a reverse proxy) with WebSphere Application Server. Security Verify Access, version 9.0.*, is compatible with all versions of the Trust Association Interceptor.
Limited compatibility with earlier versions of session management
IBM Security Verify Access for Web Version 8.0 introduced the Distributed Session Cache. This component replaces the Session Management Server that was provided in previous releases of the product. The following limitations apply to deployments that combine IBM Security Verify Access, v9.0.* with prior versions, such as IBM Security Verify Access for Web, v7.0.0:
- We cannot use both the Distributed Session Cache and the Session Management Server in the same deployment.
- The IBM Security Verify Access v9.0.* WebSEAL server cannot communicate with the Session Management Server.
- IBM Security Access Manager for Web v7.0.* WebSEAL server can communicate with the Distributed Session Cache in v9.0, but only if IBM Security Access Manager for Web Fix Pack 2 (v7.0.0.2) or newer is applied.
