Making ISAM users aware via this Security Community :
In IBM Security Access Manager 9.0.7.0 and 9.0.7.1 configuration snapshots will fail to apply after March 22, 2020. When attempting to apply a snapshot after this date an error will occur, and a message similar to the following will appear in the system log:
Error: MesaSecureFileMgr::signatureIsValid(): acme error:failed:idup_se_singlebuffer_unprotect:GSS_S_FAILURE:GSS_S_MINOR_SIGNER_CERT_BAD
This impacts both the appliance and the Docker image.
For ISAM in a Docker environment, updated Docker images are available on Docker Hub.
For ISAM Appliances, a hotfix fixpack must be requested via the Support Channel.
Check the published Technote here -
A configuration snapshot fails to apply in ISAM 9.0.7.0 and 9.0.7.1Snapshots taken on/after March 22 AND before the hotfix is applied, will FAIL to apply.
It's advised that customers that take daily snapshots, and rely on this method for system recovery, apply the hotfix asap.
