  • 64–bit loadbalancer plug-in available on Solaris (SPARC and x86) and Linux supports:
  • Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7.0 Update 9+

  • 32–bit loadbalancer plug-in available on Windows supports:
  • Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7.0 Update 9+
  • Microsoft IIS 7.5+
  • New asadmin Subcommands for Secure Admin:
  • The enable-secure-admin-principal(1) subcommand instructs GlassFish Server to accept admin requests when accompanied by an SSL certificate with the specified distinguished name (DN). In this way, as long as you know theDNof a certificate you can use it for SSL/TLS certificate authentication, even if the certificate is not in the truststore or part of a trusted chain.
  • The enable-secure-admin-internal-user(1) subcommand instructs all servers in the domain to authenticate to each other, and to authorize admin operations submitted to each other, using an existing admin user name and password rather than SSL certificates. You might want to use the enable-secure-admin-internal-user(1) subcommand if your use case favors the use of a user name and password combination over the use of SSL certificates and aliases.
  • This release also includes the associated disable and list subcommands for these features.
  • Enterprise OSGi Support:
  • GlassFish Server now supports deployment of OSGi-enabled enterprise Java applications.
  • Support for JDBC 4.1:
  • Because GlassFish Server 3.1.1 supports JDK 7, support for JDBC 4.1 is available in GlassFish Server 3.1.1. JDBC 4.1 drivers can be installed in GlassFish Server 3.1.1 to make use of the new features.
