EJBCA 6.7.0
The EJBCA 6.7.0 release adds official support for MS Autoenrollment, implemented as an enrollment Proxy/Gateway, which is delivered as a separate component. In addition to this, there are many security fixes and enhancements in this release, plugging a few holes and making it harder than ever to misuse EJBCA.
Features
Native Windows Autoenrollment, using a separate autoenrollment proxy component.
Support for CT logs that use RSA instead of ECC.
Ability to search for approval requests in the new RA interface.
Ability to limit which Extension OIDs are acceptable to Override, gives better control over RAs.
Improvements
Ordering of configured CT logs is now kept, and there is a possibility to re-order them.
Additional security hardening, including updated library dependencies.
Not requiring '@' in rfc822Name improves integration with Cisco ISE.
Allowing native CAs to be Vendor CAs for CMP testing.
A new field for "Default CA issuer URI" in the CA configuration makes some use cases more efficient.
Bug Fixes
Security fixes
Lots of minor usability issues fixed.
