[Ejbca-news] EJBCA 6.0.3, Enterprise and Community released

[Tomas G. <to...@pr...>]

Hi,

We are happy to announce that EJBCA 6.0.3 has been released! This is a 
maintenance release – 21 issues have been resolved.
Running on the latest technology platforms, this PKI is faster, more 
resource efficient, more secure and more user friendly than ever. EJBCA 
Enterprise v.6 is so flexible it is suitable for any organization, 
cloud, social or mobile system.

EJBCA, the open source PKI, has been around for quite some time now, 
since 2001 to be exact. The last major release of EJBCA Community was 
EJBCA 4, which saw many updates up to the final release 4.0.16 in June 
2013. EJBCA 5 was Common Criteria certified, and therefore never 
released to the public. After a long wait, and much development, EJBCA 
Community version 6 is now here.

The latest release of EJBCA Enterprise 6.0.3, also marks the release of 
EJBCA Community 6.0.3. Enjoy!

EJBCA 6 is the base for future releases of EJBCA Community, so this is a 
good time to get the source and Contribute.


EJBCA 6.0 release notes
---
* New Crypto Token concept, giving complete GUI support for configuring 
signature and keys, either in software or on hardware security modules. 
Hardware security modules has never been easier.

* CMP configuration can now be done in the GUI, and supports multiple 
different configurations through CMP Aliases. More flexible than ever 
you can easily set up CMP to talk to any type of device, all with a 
single instance of EJBCA.

* The new Internal Key binding concept merges the Certificate Authority 
and Validation Authority functionality. Use the same instance, or 
multiple instances, using the same well known admin GUI as a Certificate 
Authority or Validation Authority or both.

* Full support for the latest platforms. Java 7 and JBoss 7 are now the 
default recommended platforms, faster, more secure and more resource 
efficient.

* More than 300 issues have been resolved during the development of 
EJBCA Enterprise v.6.

Kind regards,
EJBCA Team
