Important UAL considerations

The Security Toolkit for Java can securely bind sensitive information, such as Entrust credentials, to your server. This feature is called Entrust Unattended Login (UAL) or Server Login.

This release contains changes to the UAL feature that are related to what machine information is retrieved and how it is processed during both the binding and the extracting processes. These changes only impact Linux systems and are included in an updated Security Toolkit for Java 9.0 shared library.

You should also use this updated shared library when updating your code to use the new jar files in the Security Toolkit 9.0 for the Java Platform. This library does not impact your existing UAL-bound information (such as your .ual files), and you can continue to extract your existing data.

However, the changes may require you to re-bind your information. After extracting the UAL data, you should always check the following response documented in the Java API reference.
