Upgrading SAML support

If you used Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) support in earlier CICS® releases, follow this procedure to upgrade to CICS Transaction Server for z/OS®, Version 5 Release 2.

1. Copy your STS configuration file to a new location on z/OS UNIX to use with the new CICS release.
2. Upgrade your java.policy file.
   1. If you are using a user java.policy file, copy it to a new location on z/OS UNIX to use with the new CICS release.
   2. Update the following rule to refer to the new CICS root directory.

      :// All permissions granted to CICS codesource protection domain
      grant codeBase "file://USSHOME//-" {
      permission java.security.AllPermission;
      };

      where USSHOME is the name and path of the root directory for CICS Transaction Server files on z/OS® UNIX.
   3. Remove the rule that applies to the feature pack files:

      grant codeBase "file:fp_dir-" {  permission java.security.AllPermission;
              };

      where fp_dir is the Feature Pack installation directory.
3. Upgrade your JVM profile by following the general instructions for upgrading JVM profiles, which are given in Upgrading the Java environment. Perform the following additional steps:
   1. Delete the CLASSPATH_SUFFIX line from your JVM server profile.
   2. If you are using a user java.policy file, update the java.security.policy property to refer to the new location of this file.
4. When no CICS instances are using it, uninstall the feature pack.
