Info: Functionality Scheduled for Deprecation

Summary

Occasionally, we remove functionality from Trust Protection Platform to stay current with emerging technologies and to serve the changing needs of our customers. Some of the more common reasons for deprecating features include the following:

• Minimal use of a feature by the majority of our customers
• Technologies that have become obsolete
• Features that have become too expensive to maintain
• Changes in our technology roadmap 
• Important security enhancements to Trust Protection Platform

Scheduled Feature Deprecations

Although planned feature deprecations are subject to change, the following list indicates which features are planned for removal from upcoming releases of Trust Protection Platform:

Venafi Platform 22.3

Venafi Server Agent on HP-UX
We intend to stop producing new releases of Venafi Server Agent on HP-UX (Itanium) with the 22.3 release, making the 22.2 release the the last to include support for the platform.

Venafi Platform 22.4

Nothing Scheduled for Deprecation

Venafi Platform 23.1

WebSDK Authorization Method involving API Keys (End-of-Support)
The WebSDK authorization method that involves API keys was formally deprecated in Trust Protection Platform 20.2 and will no longer be available in code beginning in 22.3.  The "WebSDk" permission that is available on users and groups will no longer be available.  The temporary license key introduced in 22.2 will no longer be available.

Plaintext email not longer available, only HTML email

Because of modernization of email clients, Plaintext body of email messages for customers is no longer necessary and creates more confusion when editing email notifications.  As we overhaul our notification email experience, this feature is being deprecated.

Depreciation of version 9 of CyberArk PAS

The integration with CyberArk PAS version 9 will no longer be supported in version 23.1 of Trust Protection Platform. Version 9 of CyberArk PAS was declared end-of-life in 2020. Customers can continue to use newer versions of CyberArk such as 10, 11 or 12.

Venafi Platform 23.2

Removal of three detail screens from the About section of the Web Console

In 22.4 the following three screens will be removed from the Web Console About section:

• Loaded API Assemblies (Scheduled for 23.2)
• Loaded UI Plugins (Scheduled for 23.2)
• Third Party UI Libraries (Previously Removed in 22.1)
  

These screens were originally included to aid in troubleshooting of problems related to the Web Console, but instead were rarely, if ever, used.

Imperva MX provisioning driver will be deprecated
Starting in 23.2 Imperva MX driver will be able to provision device certificates only. After upgrading to 23.2 existing Imperva MX applications will be converted to Basic applications and retain certificate association. Provisioning certificates in bulk to Imperva MX can be accomplished using the Adaptable Bulk Provisioning job.
