CipherTrust Data Security Platform Services (CDSPaaS) Support

Support added for CipherTrust Data Security Platform Services (CDSPaaS) as a key manager.

Resolved Issues

• AGT-58747: Reduce the time that it takes VMD to find a failover CipherTrust Manager during startup

  This issues was fixed by eliminating unnecessary timeouts.

• AGT-61030 [CS1554273]: Some devices are still in open/synced state, even when the manual GuardPoint is disabled

  This issue was caused by a race condition in the secvm open code. This allowed a concurrent open request to occur, but it was lost. The corresponding secvm close was not performed, and the device was left open. The race condition has been fixed.

Known Issues

• AGT-48611: AIX upgrade from 7.1.0.33 to 7.5.0.25 with existing GuardPoints causes IO to hang when DSM is used as Key Manager

  Work-around

  Restart the agent or reboot the machine.
