Hi everyone, The EJBCA Team is very pleased to release EJBCA Community 6.10.1.2. This is a major upgrade providing lots of new features as well as many large and small improvements and bugfixes. You can get it directly from the EJBCA homepage <https://www.ejbca.org/>. The absolutely largest user noticeable feature is the introduction of a completely new RA UI, scheduled to deprecate the old Public Web as described here: Roadmap Update EJBCA 7 and what lies in store <http://blog.ejbca.org/2018/02/roadmap-update-ejbca-7-and-what-lies-in.html>. The new RA UI is a major step up of RA capability in EJBCA and is described in depth in a four part blog post series: * Introducing the EJBCA RA, Part 1: Introduction <http://blog.ejbca.org/2017/06/introducing-ejbca-ra-part-1-introduction.html> * Introducing the EJBCA RA, Part 2.1: Migrating from the Public Web <http://blog.ejbca.org/2017/07/introducing-ejbca-ra-part-21-migrating.html> * Introducing the EJBCA RA, Part 2.2: Migrating from the Public Web (continued) <http://blog.ejbca.org/2017/07/introducing-ejbca-ra-part-22-migrating.html> * Introducing the EJBCA RA, Part 3: Architecture of an RA Proxy <http://blog.ejbca.org/2017/10/introducing-ejbca-ra-part-3.html> Apart from this feature there are many other features worth highlighting such as: - Support for Service Name in certificates (RFC 4985 <https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4985.txt>) - Support for XMPP Client certificates (RFC 6120 <https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc6120.txt>) - Support for ID on SIM (RFC 4683 <https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4683.txt>) - Support for RegisteredID in the SAN - Functional enhancements to the CMP protocol <https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4210.txt> and CMP aliases, including CMP central key generation - Option to keep revoked expired certificates on CRLs - Fine grained validity period configuration, down to minutes as well as - ability to configure certain days when certificates can not expire - A new ejbca-setup quick setup script <https://www.ejbca.org/docs/installation.html#Quick%20Start%20Guide> for Linux - Ability to limit OIDs that are acceptable in Extension Override - A completely new Role system <https://www.ejbca.org/docs/userguide.html#Administrator%20Roles> that is easier to manage, including role management in the RA UI - A new Validator <https://www.ejbca.org/docs/adminguide.html#Validators> concept, allowing Key Validation to be performed before certificates are issued (as well as CAA validation in Enterprise for example) - Security hardening and other security improvements - And a lot more which don't fit into this limited space... The full changelog between the old and the new Community release can be seen in the Sourceforge download directory <https://sourceforge.net/projects/ejbca/files/ejbca6/ejbca_6_10_0/>. or download directly <https://sourceforge.net/projects/ejbca/files/ejbca6/ejbca_6_10_0/README/download>. We have also ensured that upgrades from older version of EJBCA is still possible, and documented this in: The Definitive EJBCA Upgrade Guide <http://blog.ejbca.org/2017/12/the-definitive-ejbca-upgrade-guide.html> In all we are very proud of this release and you should notice some large enhancements and a lot of new functions. If there was anything you missed in the last release, there is a good chance you will find it in the new release.
