Here are some important usage notes for the Novell Compliance Management Platform 1.1:
When using Novell Compliance Management Platform 1.1, you need to use the latest versions of all the core products supported by the platform. You cannot mix and match CMP 1.1 products, which means that you cannot use earlier versions of one or more individual products if you plan to upgrade to CMP 1.1.
NOTE:CMP 1.0.1 will be dropped as soon as CMP 1.1 is released. The only officially supported upgrade path is from CMP 1.0.1 to CMP 1.1.
Novell Compliance Management Platform is a SKU and therefore includes a new license. Once you have this license, you can take full advantage of platform functionality.
In general, the use cases supported in CMP 1.1 are the same as those supported in CMP 1.0.1. However, there are a few exceptions. These are the exceptions:
The Novell Compliance Management Platform does not support a direct connection between the Identity Reporting Module and Access Manager. It does however support SSO access from RBPM to the reporting module.
It is possible to configure Access Manager such that when a user attempts to access a system to which they are not authorized, the user is redirected to a role or resource request within the User Application.
Here are some things to keep in mind when using the reporting capabilities of Novell Compliance Management Platform:
If you want to run custom reports against auditing data in the public schema of the SIEM database, you should use Sentinel reports instead of Identity Manager reports.
The Correlated Resource Assignments Events by Users report depends on data from the public schema. Due to latency issues, this report may not contain all of the data synchronized from Sentinel at execution time. If you do not see all of the data you would expect to see, rerun the report again at a later time.
