Type: Bug Fix Advisory

Details

An updated esc package that fixes various bugs and adds an enhancement is
now available for Red Hat Certificate System.

Red Hat Certificate System (RHCS) manages enterprise Public Key
Infrastructure (PKI) deployments.

The esc package contains the "Smart Card Manager" GUI tool, which allows
the user to manage security smart cards. The primary function of the tool
is to enroll smart cards, so that they can be used for common cryptographic
operations, such as secure email and website access.

This updated package fixes the following bugs:

* on Windows-based systems, Internet Explorer® 6 and 7 were unable to
recognize certain tokens managed by ESC.

* users now have the ability to locally configure Phone Home information
for legacy tokens, that do not have such information burned into them.

As well, when a token is inserted, it is now possible to have information
about the token, such as the CUID, sent to the Token Processing System
(TPS). TPS logs this information to its HTTP access log.

Users of esc are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves these issues and adds this enhancement.
