    Why was ExternalRA removed from Community version?

    Does it mean that I wouldn't be able to upgrade anymore and I would need to use last Community version 6.2.0 where ExternalRA is available if I am using ExternalRA feature?

    Hi,

    The reason is the following.
    Maintenance of the community features takes resources, currently salaried only by the enterprise features. We have concluded that we are not able to maintain this feature at the expected standards level (high quality, high security, common criteria certified, etc) for free.

    The External RA feature is mainly used in higher security (audited?) environments involving a lot of other components like HSMs, and hopefully this does not affect too many users. Sorry if it has affected you.

    Regards,
    Tomas
