Note
It is strongly recommended that you always upgrade to the latest maintenance releases for the specific versions of AM/OpenAM and Agents you have deployed.
Limitations
The following limitations exist with AM 6 and older agents (Web Agents 4.x and JEE Agent 3.5.x):
- Restricted Tokens in AM 6.0.0.x are not compatible with older agents. It is strongly recommended that you upgrade policy agents to version 5.x before upgrading to AM 6.0.0.x due to a limitation on the usage of restricted tokens with WPA 4.x/JEE Agent 3.5.x. See OPENAM-16357 (enabling Restricted Token (com.sun.identity.enableUniqueSSOTokenCookie=true) causes error when AM checks property value) and OPENAM-16816 (Discrepancy found in AM6 + Older Agents compatibility docs.) for further details.
- New Agents Profiles on AM 6 are not compatible with older agents by default and will require setting the AM Login URL and AM Logout URL to work with AM 6. See How do I configure AM 6.0.0.x to work with older policy agents (Web 4.x and JEE 3.5.x)? for details.
- The experimental REST login mode that was introduced in Web Agents 4.1.0.30 will not work with AM 6.0.0.x. This feature is only officially supported with Web Agents 4.2. If you wish to use this login mode with Web Agents 4.x and AM 6.0.0.x, you must use Web Agents 4.2.
