UNIX Package Maintenance Levels - Agent 7.4.x

This page identifies the package contents for all Universal Agent 7.4.x for UNIX maintenance releases, including the initial release, and the maintenance level of every component in each package.

For each release, changes made to individual components for UNIX only, and for UNIX and one or more other platforms, are identified. Maintenance level changes to a component for non-UNIX platforms are not shown.

For a list of all changes in a release - all platforms, all components - see All Platforms Package Maintenance Levels - Agent 7.4.x.

For a list of all changes in a release - all platforms, specific components - see Component Maintenance Levels - Agent 7.4.x.

Universal Agent 7.4.x for UNIX Packages

This table identifies components generally available for UNIX.

Update OpenSSL implementation to support TLS 1.3 sessions.

This feature provides the following configuration options:

  • max_ssl_protocol - controls TLS session negotiation by limiting the protocol that will be used
  • ctl_/data_ssl_cipher_suites (availability of these options varies by component) - allows the following TLS 1.3 cipher suites to be specified separately from - and mutually exclusive with - earlier TLS 1.x ciphers
    • TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
    • TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
    • TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256

The ability to enable TLS 1.3 across all Universal Agent components is available at install time via the --use_tls1_3 command line option (the Windows system mode install provides the equivalent USE_TLS1_3 command line property). When yes, this option sets the following configuration options:

  • max_ssl_protocol to "tls1_3" in omss.conf, uags.conf, uftp.conf, ubroker.conf, ucmd.conf, ucmds.conf, uctl.conf, udm.conf, udms.conf, uem.conf, and upps.conf.
  • encrypt to "yes" in ucmd.conf, ucmds.conf, and udm.conf

The interactive Windows installs also provides a new dialog with an option that, when checked, enables this configuration. This dialog is available for new installs and for upgrades from releases prior to 7.4.0.0.

Increase the maximum message size that can be transferred between UAG Server and OMS Server from 6 MB to 1 GB.

The maximum message size allowed can be configured via the new OMS Server configuration option, MAX_MSG_SIZE. Similarly, a new MSG_CHUNK_OPTION option is provided to specify the maximum size for any single message transmitted. Any payload that exceeds this size will be split into multiple messages until the entire payload is transferred.

UAGSRV

Updates the handling for the EXTENSION_PYTHON_LIST, which allows users to configure an ordered list of Python interpreters to use for Universal Extension task execution.

Previously, the Python provided by the Universal Agent were installed, it would always be evaluated first. However, there were times where another Python that also satisfied the extension's requirement was preferred. As long as the Agent's Python was installed, the other Python would not be chosen.

With this change, if the Agent's Python is included in the EXTENSION_PYTHON_LIST value, the default ordering of the list is disabled and the Agent's Python is evaluation in the order in which it appears in the list.

    • In addition to command line properties, the Windows interactive installs provide a new dialog to set these options
  • Universal Broker startup. using the new uag_message_level and uag_loglvl command line options or the UAGLEVEL and UAGLOGLVL environment variables

For example, given a credential field called cred_test, the Key Location may be accessed using:

  • fields['cred_test']['key_location']
  • fields['cred_test.key_location']

The camelCase usage (i.e., keyLocation) is still recognized for backward compatibility, but that support could be dropped at any time so new extensions should use key_location.
