Identity Manager release notes 6.1.0

Release date: 2026-07-02


Main new features

Sectigo connector

A new PKI connector is added for Sectigo in Identity Manager, expanding our integration ecosystem with a globally trusted Certificate Authority. The connector focuses on user certificates, enabling automated provisioning and lifecycle handling directly within Identity Manager. It can be used alongside Nexus Certificate Manager, for example to handle key archival and recovery (KAR) for encryption certificates. Another use case is to issue authentication certificates from an internal enterprise PKI while using publicly trusted certificates for signing. See Integrate Identity Manager with Sectigo connector for more information.

Full certificate chain provisioning (iOS)

The certificate provisioning has been enhanced by making the full certificate chain available in the iOS key chain, allowing system administrators to configure validation more flexibly. The certificate chain returned by the CA request including intermediate and root certificates is now passed from Identity Manager to Hermod for further processing by the Smart ID Mobile App on iOS.

Spring 7 update

Update to Spring Framework 7 to modernize our technology stack and keeping our core library aligned with the latest standards. This update improves maintainability, security, and performance while ensuring long-term support. It also provides a solid foundation for leveraging new framework capabilities and future enhancements.

COSMO X support

Support added for the COSMO X Smart Cards and IDPlug middleware, enabling seamless interaction with this Smart Card for managing user credentials and certificates within Identity Manager workflows. With the COSMO X we add a high-security Java Card with a high level of certifications to our portfolio.

Deprecated features

Nexus Go Cards Card Production Service Task

The service task “Card production: Nexus GO Cards get info” is outdated and deprecated. Use the generic HTTP client task instead to implement REST calls to the Nexus Go Cards API. See Set up Http Clients in Identity Manager for details.
