Added the ability to configure multiple DCAS servers and for use with Automated Sign-on for Mainframe.
Updated Open JDK to Azul Zulu 8u181.

While previous versions may have run successfully on less, we recommend you allot 8 GB of RAM for a successful installation.
NOTE:
The Metering Server can be installed on a separate server, using the automated installer. The Metering Server is no longer available as a deployable war file that can live on WebSphere or external Tomcat.
The Terminal ID Manager can be installed on a separate server, using the automated installer or the Administrative Console (Configure Settings - Product Activation). The Terminal ID Manager is no longer available as a deployable war file that can live on WebSphere or external Tomcat. See the Installation Guide for details.
SAML authentication (for Reflection ZFE clients). Management and Security Server supports a web proxy or load balancer when the device is configured to handle the Identity Provider's Response to a SAML Authentication Request.
SAML authentication (for Reflection ZFE clients). When Management and Security Server is configured for Debug logging, the list of hosts that are whitelisted for SAML is printed in the logging message.
Using Mozilla Firefox with SAML authentication (for Reflection ZFE clients). The SAML Download button does not return updated metadata when Firefox is the browser of choice.
Specifically, changes to the Entity ID and the Assertion consumer service prefix URL are not represented in the SAML Service Provider metadata for MSS when Firefox is used to export the metadata via the Download button.
Workaround: Download the metadata by using the URL (https://<hostname>/mss/saml2/sp-metadata). Or, use a browser other than Mozilla Firefox.
