Windows Server 2019 support

[Akihiro Matsuyama]

When will CA SSO (SiteMinder) Policy Server support Windows Server 2019?

Is Broadcom working on a release of a policy server for Windows Server 2019?

We expect the next CASSO release to be 14.0.
Does this version of Policy Server support Windows Server 2019?

Anybody from Broadcom going to comment on this?
What about Web Agents as well?  When is the support for Windows 2019 coming?

Anybody from Broadcom can comment on this? Or just close the thread?

Hi,

From our Product Roadmap, I don't see that certification planned in
near future :

CA Single Sign-On Certification Backlog
https://ftpdocs.broadcom.com/phpdocs/7/5262/5262_PlatformSupportRoadmap.pdf

From Support side, we don't have at the moment official statement of
Certification of Policy Server on Windows 2019.

We invite you to submit an Idea for Policy Server on Windows 2019 :

1. Go to the "All Ideas" page :
https://community.broadcom.com/ideation/allideas
2. Click on the "Add" button.
3. In the "Select categories...", select "Layer7 Access Management".
4. Write a title in the "title" box.
5. Write a complete description of the Enahcement Request or
Certification you'd like to post.
6. Click on "Save" to get the Idea submitted !

And get in touch with your Broadcom Account Manager to prioritize it.

I hope this helps,

Best Regards,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,

Thank you for a response.  My following response is not directed at you specifically, but to whoever at Broadcom is responsible for these decisions.

Seems like that Certification Backlog was last updated on March 8, 2019 - almost a year ago.
I honestly don't understand why I should submit an idea for pretty much an obvious request.

We are in 2020.  Windows 2019 was released on October 2, 2018.  At this point, Broadcom must respond not whether they are going to support Windows 2019, but when they will support it.  Is it next month? next year?

[Chris Bertagnolli]

Second this sentiment. Customers should not be having to submit ideas for our vendor to keep up to date with OS versions - that is ridiculous. Broadcom needs to keep up to date with the common OS versions and ensure the application keeps up, not wait until someone asks for it; if we have to ask for it, it's already too late.

All, 

Two answers for these questions. 
First, we expect the agent for IIS 10 on Windows 2019 to be available by end of this month. 
Second, we will offer support for Windows 2019 on the Policy Server, but the exact calendar timing is still not clear enough to offer here.  The sequence of releases is 12.9 (Docker Container introduction) and then 12.9.1.  It is 12.9.1 that is projected as the target release for 2019 with the server.

Hello Herbert,

Is there any update on Web Agent for Windows 2019?

Thanks.
