Hi Frank Buchholz and Patrick Hildenbrand
thank you for joining this discussion so promptly and thank you for your expert feedback.
I too received the email last week, but I interpreted the words incorrectly, and didn't make the extra effort to read the attachment to 2068693, had I done so I would have better understood the scope.
Still, towards the end of last week, I was having doubts and as I would rather ask a question and be wrong than not ask, I put this question here, and am I thankful that I did so.
To wrap up, thanks again, the message is clear, and we will act on it, and this thread will hopefully be useful to others, basically:
DSA is out - we should all know that from our MS Active Directories which nolonger (Win2012)
support DSA
ABAP and Hana systems need an upgraded CryptoLib
Java stacks which have ABAP certificates will need the certificates reimported
Nice to have would be to upgrade the cryptolib on the Java stacks while you are at it, but
this is not a pre-requisite
The associated OSS Notes are:
Make sure to read the attachment to the Note, if you have
SolMan 7.1 SP10 or higher, there's a tool for checking dependencies
Best regards,
Andy.
