23.4 enhancements and patches
BMC applies upgrades as described in the BMC Helix Upgrade policy. BMC applies upgrades and patches during Maintenance windows.
23.4.00.001
Authentication updates
TrueSight Network Automationnow supports the Bouncy Castle FIPS KeyStore (BCFKS) format, specifically designed to meet FIPS standards. It offers improved security features compared to Java Cryptography Extension KeyStore (JCEKS) format.
Migrating from JCEKS to BCFKS involves moving cryptographic keys and certificates from the JCEKS format to the BCFKS format. This migration provides enhanced security, FIPS compliance and leverages features specific to the Bouncy Castle libraries.
