The IBM Mobile Device Manager Team is pleased to announce the release of a 
Mobile Device Management SHA256 Patch.

at the platform level and for verifying downloads from external sites. 

Implementation of the SHA256 Patch is recommend for all MDM customers.

devices is not supported at this time. If you have Android devices in your 
deployment, we recommend that you do not enable enhanced security when

subsequent deployments: 
·       The Proxy Agent must be installed from the BES Support Server 
prior to deploying.

the BES Support site.

must be installed on a relay. However, previous installations on the root 
server will still function and upgrades will still work.
