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.

B-12809

All
(except HP-UX and Solaris Intel)

USAP

Update USAP to support the RSPARAMSL_255 data type for variants. The following USAP operations may now take advantage of this change:

SUBMIT variant using a variant definition file
MODIFY variant using a variant definition file
DISPLAY variant
GENERATE variant definition
SUBMIT job from job definition file with inline temporary variant. SAP LOW and HIGH data types to support up to 255 chars

These changes are supported for XBP 2.0 and XBP 3.0, but full 255-character support ultimately depends on the SAP function module implementation.

For the most consistent RSPARAMSL_255 support, Stonebranch recommends using SAP NW RFC library version 7.5.x and XBP 3.0 (controlled via the USAP XBP_MAX configuration option).

B-13316

UFTP

Update SSH Key Exchange and Cipher support for SFTP transfers.

ecdh-sha2-nistp256

diffie-helman-group-exchange-sha
diffie-helman-group14-sha1
diffie-helman-group1-sha1

AES-256-CTR
AES-192-CTR
AES-128-CTR

Support for the following ciphers was left unchanged:

AES-256-GCM

UDM
UDMSRV

Prevent an authentication error for a File Transfer task when the following conditions exist:

File Transfer task uses Universal Data Mover (UDM)
UDM script is used by the task
UDM script issues the exec or execsap command
exec or execsap command uses the pwd parameter
One of the built-in credential variables – $(ops_primary_cred_pwd) or $(ops_secondary_cred_pwd) -- is used for the pwd parameter's value

For example:

Code Block

title	UDM Script Statements
collapse	true

open src=local dst=rmthost.ipaddr user=$(ops_secondary_cred_user) pwd=$(ops_secondary_cred_pwd)
exec src cmd="dir" user=$(ops_primary_cred_user) pwd=$(ops_primary_cred_pwd)

Starting with UA 7.0.0.0, this will cause the resolved $(ops_primary_cred_pwd) value in the exec statement to be enclosed in double quotes ("). The double quotes are retained when passed to UCMD Manager (or USAP for an execsap statement). The double quotes will prevent successful password authentication.
