Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All CICSPlex SM V4R1M0 and V4R2M0 Users      *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When using the CPSM Web User Interface, *
  *                      your browser suddenly starts to issue   *
  *                      warnings that the security certificate  *
  *                      has expired.                            *
  *                                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: After applying the PTF that resolves         *
  *                 this APAR, all MASes configured as CPSM      *
  *                 WUI servers must be recycled to pick up      *
  *                 the new code.  Note that regions do not      *
  *                 need to be brought down and restarted at     *
  *                 the same time.                               *
  ****************************************************************
  When Oracle issued security bulletin CVE-2013-0422 it changed
  the default Java Security Level setting from "Medium" to "High"
  - that bulletin can be found here:
  
  http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/alert-cve-2013
  -0422-1896849.html
  
  As a result, two CPSM WUI applets were required to be certified.
  Those certificates had a duration of three years, and are due to
  expire on 27 July 2015.
  

Problem conclusion

• Java applets EYUWUIWATCHDOG (which ensures proper clean-up
  of server connections on browser exit) and EYUWUILIGHT
  (which implements special display options like range bars
  and status lights) have had their JAR certificates revalidated
  for another three years.
  They will expire again on 7 April 2018.
