Additional Fields are now Mandatory for Tenant Registration

The following fields are now mandatory for tenant registration:

• Address
• City
• ZIP Code
• State/Province/Region*

* Mandatory if Country is set to United States, Canada, or Australia

This change has been rescheduled to Tuesday February 8th 14:00 UTC to give customers more time to adjust their environments.

A knowledge base article with a full description of the change is available here. The article contains important information on mandatory changes for users on 10.0 or 10.1 client versions in North America.

This change introduces a new endpoint for validating the certificate status. Please ensure that operating systems hosting the client are able to validate the server certificate status (OCSP/CRL) using port 80. 

Ensure that these certificate revocation lists (CRLs) are accessible from the client machine prior to the planned change on Tuesday February 8th 14:00 UTC  to guarantee continuity of service.

Current CRL: http://crl.godaddy.com/gdig2s1-3235.crl
New CRL: http://crl.sectigo.com/SectigoRSAOrganizationValidationSecureServerCA.crl
Platform CRL: http://crl3.digicert.com/ssca-sha2-g7.crl

Added

• Luna HSM Client 10.4.1 allows you to initialize a Luna Cloud HSM service using a domain secret imported from a red PED key. This allows you to clone objects between PED-authenticated Luna HSM partitions and Luna Cloud HSM enabling cloud backups and improving availability by adding Luna Cloud HSM to your HA groups. See Initializing a Luna Cloud HSM Service for more information.

The authentication method used by the 10.0 and 10.1 version of the Luna Cloud HSM client is being deprecated. Clients using this authentication will no longer be supported by the Luna Cloud HSM service after December 31, 2021. 

We recommend you upgrade your client to the latest version at your earliest convenience. See Upgrading your client for more information.

CipherTrust Key Broker for Google Cloud EKM service users can now access their DPoD platform tenant. Users can log in to their tenant hostname URL to access DPoD platform features such as User Management, Tenant Management, and Reporting.

CipherTrust Key Broker for Google Cloud EKM service tenants do not have access to tenant features such as Subscriber Groups or Adding Services.

Deprecated 

The authentication method used by the 10.0 and 10.1 version of the Luna Cloud HSM client is being deprecated. We recommend you upgrade your Luna Cloud HSM service clients to the latest version at your earliest convenience. Clients using this authentication mechanism will no longer connect to the service after December 31, 2021. Instructions for upgrading the client can be found in our documentation here.

Added

• Version 10.3 of the HSM service client is now available for download from Thales Data Protection on Demand. This client supports hybrid usage of both Luna Cloud HSM services and the Luna HSM product line, as detailed in the HSM on Demand Client User Guide. See Upgrading your Luna Cloud HSM Service Client for more information about updating your Luna Cloud HSM service client.

Bugs Found

• LUNA-14009 - Executing cmu verifyhsm does not prompt the user to enter a challenge string. Always specify a challenge string using cmu verifyhsm -challenge <string>.
• LUNA-13907 - Requesting a certificate using cmu requestcertificate using the wrong attribute to specify the private key returns an incorrect error message. Use the -privateouid to specify a private key on a Luna Cloud HSM service.
• LUNA-13780 - Executing cmu import to import a DSA key fails. Use an RSA public key instead.
• LUNA-13761 - Executing cmu selfsigncertificate with no arguments specified, on Linux, cmu fails to prompt the user for the relevant object handles/OUIDs. Always specify the object handles/OUIDs using -publichandle and -privatehandle or -publicouid and -privateouid.
• LUNA-12822 - ckmdeo option Get OUID (39) returns OUIDs with extra zeroes appended. Use option Get Attribute (24) to view the correct OUID.
• LUNA-11269 - In HA configurations, where a Luna Cloud HSM service is configured as a standby, some events (such as when a connection drops and recovers due to a timeout when contacting the service) are not recorded in the HA log file.
• SH-5595 - Deriving X9.42 DH2 keys returns CKR_OBJECT_HANDLE_INVALID. We recommend you avoid upgrading your Luna Cloud HSM service client until the issue is resolved. 
• SH-4194 - Executing cmu getpkc to confirm a public key can fail. Execute the ckdemo Display Object (27) function to confirm the key pairs origins and security in the HSM. If the CKA_NEVER_EXTRACTABLE attribute is present it confirms that the private key was created in the HSM and has never been extracted.

Bugs Fixed

• SH-4987 - The displayed serial numbers of self-signed certificates created using cmu selfsigncertificate now match the input serial number.

Deprecated

The DPoD Platform API is deprecating the PATCH /tenants/{id}/admin/reset and POST /tenants/{id}/admin/resetMfaToken operations. 

Tenant administrators can use the self-service password reset from the DPoD tenant log in screen or request that a sibling tenant administrator reset their password. Tenant administrators must request an MFA reset from a sibling tenant administrator.

These endpoints will be removed from the platform in a future update.
