Environment

SiteMinder WAOP version: 12.8

Cause

Tomcat 11 had the transition from the javax.* namespace to the jakarta.* namespace.

SiteMinder 12.8 WAOP on windows release is incompatible with Tomcat 11 at the moment.

Resolution

The following are the certified combinations from Broadcom:

• 12.8 WAOP on Tomcat 11 for RHEL 10
• 12.8 WAOP on Tomcat 10 for Windows

Any other combinations will need go though certification enhancement process with Broadcom product team.
