Abstract
On November 11, 2018, certificates that IBM used to sign Java applets provided with IBM Tivoli Business Service Manager 6.1.1 expires.
Download Description
When opening a IBM Tivoli Business Service Manager 6.1.1 application with an associated Java applet , if the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) displays a certificate acceptance dialog, there will be an additional message on that dialog indicating that the certificate is still valid but has expired. Accept the warning and continue work in the application. It is only a warning. The JRE will not prevent the applet from executing.
This Interim Fixes include applet jars signed with a newly issued certificate.
Prerequisites
IBM Tivoli Business Service Manager 6.1.1.5 must be installed before applying this Interim Fix.
This Interim Fix must be installed on dashboard and data servers.
In case of a TIP HA environment, the HA node(s) need to be disjoined first before upgrading
