Remote Control V10.1.0 GA

Features that are introduced in Remote Control V10.1.0 GA
  • TLSv1.3 Support

    This release introduces support for Transport Layer Security (TLS) version 1.3. By default, Remote Control components at version 10.1 GA will operate in a backward compatibility mode. In this mode, when the connection is between components at version 10.1, the TLSv1.3 protocol is used; otherwise, the TLSv1.2 protocol is used. Once all product components are updated to version 10.1, or in the case of deploying a new Remote Control environment from scratch, it is possible to configure the product to operate only in TLSv1.3 mode.

  • Cipher suites Hardening

    This release of the product adopts a set of cipher suites, which, at the time of release, are rated as more secure.

  • Subject Alternate Name Support

    Starting from this release, the certificate SAN is used when validating the server identity. This can be useful, especially in scenarios where dealing with Broker certificates involves distinct internal and external broker names.
