End of support notice

After careful consideration, One Identity has decided to cease the development of the Management Console for Unix (MCU). Therefore, the MCU will enter limited support for all versions on April 1, 2021. Support for all versions will reach end of life on Nov 1, 2021.

As One Identity retires the MCU, we are building its feature set into modern platforms starting with Software Distribution and Profiling. Customers that use the MCU to deploy Authentication Services and Safeguard for Sudo can now use our Ansible collections for those products, which can be found at Ansible Galaxy.

It was not possible to activate certain policy servers in MCU due to issues caused by SSH key length.

For example, to configure the default RSA key length to 1024, specify -DQuestRSAKeyLength=1024. Expected values are 768, 1024 and 2048. The default value is 2048.

MCU showed incorrect date and time for events. 199672

The default questusr password can now be set to different lengths. An ability to choose from a configurable set of characters is added in this version.

For example, to configure the default password length to 12 (minimum 9), in the custom.cfg file, specify -DQuestUsrPwdLength=12 .

199669
Attempting to open a QPM4U 6.1 policy caused it to open and suddenly close. It was only possible to open the policy in text mode. 199666
