On behalf of CA Technologies, we appreciate your business and the opportunity to provide high-quality software and services. As part of our ongoing commitment to customer success, we regularly release updated versions of our products. Today, we are pleased to announce that CA Single Sign-On r12.52 SP2 is now available.
Please see the attached document for further details.
Thanks for the information. The reason I'm really interested in the Web Agent 12.52 SP2 would be for the Web Agent Option Pack.
The agents that need it are all on Win 2012 but Policy Servers still Win 2008. We had custom Web Agent and Policy Server builds that were delivered under 12.52 SP1 for some SAML functionality; it was our understanding that was going to be incorporated into SP2 so were planning on full upgrade once SP2 was out for all pieces. Guess I need to find out if the later SP1 includes that SAML piece or not or if we can get a new build that does with Win 2012 support.
Unfortunately to even deploy the server-side piece will mean accelerating the OS upgrade on those components which will delay other work .
Hi Chris,
Thanks for your query.
Web agents made available as part of the previous release (12.52 SP1) do provide support for Windows 2012 R2 and are compatible with server components of 12.52 SP2, with some minor exceptions. Please refer to the support matrix for 12.52 SP1 and 12.52 SP2 for more details.
I would also like to confirm back to you that 12.52 SP2 adds support for Windows 2012 R2 but does not support Windows 2008.
Best regards,

So if I understand it correctly (and the support matrix) that Web Agents are NOT available yet...
(bolding mine)"...this one is solely offering an updated version of the server components of the solution to run on Windows 2012 R2.
In future releases, updated support for Red Hat, Solaris, and agents will be offered"
I wouldn't call that general availability, more partial availability...and still no Java 1.8 : /.
Is there any estimated timeline on Web Agents becoming available?
--------------
And one more clarification needed...is it really only supporting Win 2012 and not Win 2008? So the only use case for this is folks upgrading Policy Server to Win 2012 R2....
