The first digit (x) designates the major release number of the component; the second digit (y) designates

C.6.2 Updated NICI Versioning

C.6.3 Enhanced SecretStore Version Checking

C.6.4 Added AES to Client

C.6.5 Enhanced Searching of Override Object

Fixed a bug in the search algorithm to improve discovery of SecretStore on a tree. The service now stops at the root of the partition where SecretStore is found and no longer walks the entire root of the tree.

C.6.6 Improved Discovery of SecretStore Service Location

With 3.3.1, the SecretStore service location algorithm has been modified in anticipation of eDirectory 8.8, which will include SecretStore. (How is SS contained as a part of eDirectory...on server/client?)

Previously, the service location algorithm searched the root of the partition, read the entire list of operational servers that advertised SecretStore, then found and connected to the server that contained the override replica object. In other words, the service locator pinged all of the candidate servers for SecretStore, then connected with the first server that returned the SecretStore service. This process often increased network traffic and consumed network resources.

Now, with eDirectory 8.8 and above, each client contains a SecretStore service object to store credentials.
