Unix | UAGSRV |
UFTP
Add explicit FTPS (FTPES) support to UFTP.
Enables transfers using TLS/SSL over connection to standard FTP port 21, provided the FTP server supports it.
To request TLS/SSL from a Remote File Transfer or Remote File Monitor task, select the FTP protocol and prepend ftpes:// to the FTP server host name or IP address (e.g., ftpes://somehost). If the FTP server has enabled TLS/SSL support, the connection will proceed using encrypted communication. If TLS/SSL support is NOT enabled, a plain text session/transfer is done.
The UFTP ENABLE_SSL configuration option (default:no) is provided to always request a TLS/SSL session, eliminating the need to specify the ftpes:// prefix.
The UFTP AUTHENTICATE_PEER configuration option (default: no) is provided to control FTP server certificate authentication. When set to “yes”, the UFTP CA_CERTIFICATES configuration option must specify a CA certificate that can authenticate the FTP server’s certificate.
B-13282
z/OS
UAGSRV
Add automatic failover support for Agents configured to execute in a sysplex environment.
The following items were delivered for UA 7.1.0.0 to support this feature:
- B-13184: Allow a secondary agent to become a primary agent upon failover.
- B-13186: Allow a primary agent to become a secondary agent upon failover.
- B-13283: Provide the ability to configure a failover hierarchy, to determine the order in which secondary agents are chosen to become the new primary agent.
- B-13284: Provide the ability to stop a Universal Broker started task WITHOUT initiating a failover.
- B-13285: Provide the ability to stop a Universal Broker started task AND initiate a failover.
- B-13291: Allow a new primary agent to receive tracking data for jobs submitted or executed by the previous primary agent.
- B-13964: Ensure that licenses obtained from Universal Controller are handled properly within the updated primary and secondary agents whenever a failover occurs
Note | ||

| |||||
B-14071 | Unix | UAGSRV | Add the KILL_PROCESS_TREE option to control how UAG Server responds to a Cancel task command from Universal Controller. When yes, the entire process tree is terminated via SIGTERM. Any process within the tree that is still running after 10 seconds is terminated with a SIGKILL. UAG Server will confirm that all processes in the process tree are terminated before it notifies the Controller of the termination. To preserve compatibility with existing behavior, the default value for this option is no, which can prevent the termination of a process in the tree that ignores the SIGTERM signal. This may cause the task's status in the Universal Controller to show Cancelled although the (now orphaned) process continues to run.

Description
B-10691
All
UAGSRV
UFTP
Add explicit FTPS (FTPES) support to UFTP.
Enables transfers using TLS/SSL over connection to standard FTP port 21, provided the FTP server supports it.
To request TLS/SSL from a Remote File Transfer or Remote File Monitor task, select the FTP protocol and prepend ftpes:// to the FTP server host name or IP address (e.g., ftpes://somehost). If the FTP server has enabled TLS/SSL support, the connection will proceed using encrypted communication. If TLS/SSL support is NOT enabled, a plain text session/transfer is done.
The UFTP ENABLE_SSL configuration option (default:no) is provided to always request a TLS/SSL session, eliminating the need to specify the ftpes:// prefix.
The UFTP AUTHENTICATE_PEER configuration option (default: no) is provided to control FTP server certificate authentication. When set to “yes”, the UFTP CA_CERTIFICATES configuration option must specify a CA certificate that can authenticate the FTP server’s certificate.

Update SSH Key Exchange and Cipher support for SFTP transfers.
Provides better compatibility with default OpenSSH configurations, by making the following changes to supported key exchange methods:
Added:
- ecdh-sha2-nistp521
- ecdh-sha2-nistp384
- ecdh-sha2-nistp256
- curve25519-sha26
Removed:
- diffie-helman-group-exchange-sha
- diffie-helman-group14-sha1
- diffie-helman-group1-sha1
The diffie-helman-group-exchange-sha256 key exchange method was left unchanged.
Support for the following ciphers was added:
- AES-256-CTR
- AES-192-CTR
- AES-128-CTR
Support for the following ciphers was left unchanged:
- AES-256-GCM
- AES-128-GCM
- AES-256-CBC
- AES-192-CBC

Issue a configuration error when the DES-CBC-SHA cipher is specified from a Windows component.
This cipher was deprecated in a previous release and since then, Agent server components would fail to negotiate a session with a manager component that only requested the DES-CBC-SHA cipher. However, the value itself should have been flagged during configuration processing and not presented to the server.
