NetIQ Identity Manager includes the following software fix in Identity Manager engine and plug-ins:
In an Identity Manager environment, Identity Vault version 9.1.2 is enhanced to prevent any crashes when XDAS auditing is enabled. (Bug 1124512)
NetIQ Identity Manager includes software fixes that resolve several previous issues in the identity applications.
Identity Applications successfully redirects users to the SSPR page when the hostname contains the SSPR string. (Bug 1114679)
If you are an Active Directory user and your Active Directory password is active, but your Identity Vault password has expired, you can log in to the Identity Manager Dashboard. Identity Manager introduces com.netiq.rbpm.pwd-expiry.sspr.redirect.enable property in the ism-configuration.properties file. Ensure that the value of the property is set to False for logging in to the dashboard. (Bug 1117851)
Identity Applications have been enhanced to prevent processing delays when PRDs containing multiple conditions are called multiple times in a workflow. To further enhance the performance of Identity Applications, set the value for the maxTotal property for your database in the server.xml file located at /opt/netiq/idm/apps/tomcat/conf or C:\NetIQ\idm\apps\tomcat\conf to 200. (Bug 1122593)
For example,
<Resource auth="Container" driverClassName="org.postgresql.Driver" factory="com.netiq.tomcat.jdbc.pool.CustomBasicDataSourceFactory" initialSize="10" maxTotal="200" maxIdle="10" minIdle="10" name="shared/IDMUADataSource" password="<passsword>" testOnBorrow="true" type="javax.sql.DataSource" url="jdbc:postgresql://<ip-address>:port/idmuserappdb" username="idmadmin" validationInterval="120000" validationQuery="SELECT 1"/>
