The new release of PassagePoint Global is build 6447. This release focused on updates required to support 64-bit on the PassagePoint client to eliminate vulnerabilities and security risks within the application. Migration tools have been developed to assist customers with this upgrade. Reach out to STOPware Tech Support to learn more or schedule an upgrade.
IMPORTANT NEWS - PLEASE PLAN ACCORDINGLY
STOPware stopped releasing a 32bit installer with the 6446 release in March 2024. Moving forward, all upgrades are required to upgrade to 64bit Java. This integration includes Java21 migration. After the server update, a batch file migration tool is provided to easily auto-migrate the client workstations to 64-bit Java clients.
Security Enhancements
- RedHat OpenJDK 21 - We have migrated both the PassagePoint server and client to RedHat OpenJDK 21 which is an up to date version of java with long term support. This allowed us to address a number of security issues and vulnerabilities within the application.
- Update Jide Library 3.7.14 - As we have moved to a newer Java version, we have migrated the Jide library that PassagePoint uses for the client user interface to the latest compatible version.
- We’ve added support to update the weak ciphers as well as keystore (certificate) for port 9876 .
- We’ve upgraded our integration to Apache Tomcat 9.0.91 version.
- This release includes an enhancement to add support to pull records only from JDBC.
- Latest Acuant SDK integration is version 10.22.11.01 which was implemented to auto-detect Washington DC licenses.

Healthcare-Specific New Features
